DSM DYNEEMA SHOWCASES INNOVATIONS IN VEHICLE ARMOR FROM INDUSTRY LEADERS FEATURING DYNEEMA® FORCE MULTIPLIER TECHNOLOGY AT EUROSATORY 2014
Paris, 16 June 2014 - Here at Eurosatory 2014, DSM Dyneema, the manufacturer of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMwPE) fiber, branded as Dyneema®, and a world leader in life protection materials and high-performance fibers, is showcasing innovative vehicle armor solutions based on its industry-leading Dyneema® Force Multiplier Technology. Aerospace and naval armor solutions from TenCate Advanced Armour and Rheinmetall Ballistic Protection GmbH, respectively, leverage this radical breakthrough in protection to address three major trends for light tactical interdiction vehicles: new operating environments, increasing weight from electronics and extended fuel supply chains. Dyneema® Force Multiplier Technology platform delivers exceptional ballistic performance and the lightest weight and lowest profile for enhanced protection. To formally present this breakthrough to customers, DSM Dyneema will host a champagne toast at its booth (#6J373), on Tuesday, June 17 at 14:30.

Stanley, N.C. - 11 June 2014 - Emerging global trends are impacting the operating environment of light tactical interdiction vehicles for military, law enforcement and homeland security operations, particularly helicopters and patrol boats. As they engage in higher-risk scenarios, such as supporting clandestine operations and penetrating inner harbors and coastlines, these vehicles require enhanced armor protection that won't compromise their speed, agility, range and payload capacity. Simply adding armor made from traditional materials such as ceramics, glass, aramid and even polyethylene is no longer enough, whereas innovative, lightweight materials that can deliver top protection can optimize vehicle performance, fuel efficiency, capacity and maneuverability. DSM Dyneema, the manufacturer of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMwPE) fiber, branded as Dyneema®, and a world leader in life protection materials and high-performance fibers, sees next-generation materials technologies as an important part of the solution. This view is supported by industry experts who predict the use of UHMwPE materials in armor applications will show double-digit growth in the next five years.
Reinach, 11 June 2014 - Archroma, a global leader in color and specialty chemicals, and the former textile, paper and emulsions businesses of Clariant, will put sustainability and high-performance within reach with its latest benchmark-setting papermaking innovations at ZELLCHEMING-Expo 2014 from June 24 to 26, 2014, in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. 
Launched in January 2013, the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI)-funded* project gives the entire European research community access to a unique, high quality and extensive lead-like compound library, the Joint European Compound Library (JECL). The European Lead Factory also offers the cutting-edge infrastructure and expertise needed to screen against novel biological targets. This creates an outstanding opportunity to discover novel compounds, summarized in a so-called Qualified Hit List (QHL), for use either as pharmacological tools or as the starting points for drug discovery projects.
