Cargo nets, straps, spares, and restraints can be called upon to safely hold nearly 7 tons at 3g as they protect the integrity of an aircraft. That means their strength must be uncompromising.

Of course, with increasing fuel costs and new performance demands, that strength needs to be paired with a minimum of weight, in order to create new cargo-handling products that can excel in today’s Aviation industry.

DSM Dyneema is helping innovative netting and equipment manufacturers explore new levels of performance, while exceeding the strict regulatory requirements of civilian and defense authorities (e.g. FAA, CAA, IATA and EASA and others.)

Manufacturers are using Dyneema® to create products that are up to 60% lighter with equivalent strength. What’s more, they are extending the life of their products by years while requiring significantly fewer repairs due to the material’s high resistance to abrasion and degradation in tough conditions.
