URMOND (NL), 17 October 2007 - Building on years of dedication to helping the commercial fishing industry solve its challenges, DSM Dyneema today reconfirmed its commitment toward enabling fishermen to increase catches and profits. By choosing netting and rope made with ultra-strong, lightweight Dyneema® polyethylene fiber instead of steel wire and traditional synthetics, fishermen can reel in a wide array of operational and cost benefits: Fuel savings due to reduced net weight and drag; easier and more precise handling/placement of nets; ability to fish in rougher waters due to strength and durability of nets and lines; and longer useful life of this gear. 
Heerlen, 15 October 2007 - The Managing Board of Royal DSM N.V has decided to invest in the implementation of a new advanced catalyst technology in one of its existing EPDM facilities in Geleen, the Netherlands.

URMOND (NL), 12 October, 2007 - Protective Industrial Products, Inc. (PIP), a leading manufacturer of gloves for hand protection, has introduced its second generation of cut-resistant gloves using new spun yarns from DSM Dyneema. The new gloves made with Dyneema® spun yarns are available from PIP with or without coatings. The gloves can be laundered repeatedly, even with bleach, to extend their wearable useful lives.
URMOND (NL), 12 October 2007 - Superior Glove is proud to introduce a new glove made with Dyneema® that is truly remarkable in both the cut- and abrasion-resistance categories. Superior's SureKnit™ seamless gloves are a shining example of the best advances that have been made in fiber technology. A glove this comfortable, providing this much protection would have been the impossible dream, back even a few years ago. The SureKnit™ glove with Dyneema® is so abrasion-resistant, it did not wear out even after 5000 cycles on the Taber Test, used to determine abrasion resistance. So now, while providing excellent protection against cuts, Superior offers a glove that won’t wear out long before its cut-resistance does. But there’s another bonus: with help from DSM Dyneema, Superior has applied a unique spinning technique to the process, resulting in a knit that is less slippery, and thus provides better grip.
