Dimension-Polyant’s unique Tyra Technology®
There are two machines at the heart of our Tyra Technology. One that spreads the yarns into filaments and fixes them in a tape. We offer this product under the name Tyra UD® tape in our Technical Fabrics section. In our a cross-ply machine these Tyra UD® monofilament-tapes are laid on top of each other at different angles and build the inner matrix structure of Tyra PLY®. Dimension-Polyant Lite Skin® is applied on top to increase abrasion resistance with a minimum of additional weight.
Technical Highlights
- Spread filament-based technology
- Best weight-to-modulus-ratio
- Exceptional support of off-angle loads
- Filmless & ultra-thin
Inner matrix – made with Tyra UD®
The inner matrix-structure utilizes a broad range of off-angle support and dpi.
