Author Topic: Researching UHMWPE fabric (Dyneema) available Through Aliexpress.  (Read 4280 times)

Is there anyone on Chinertown that has researched, and purchased low GSM weight UHMWPE fabric (Dyneema equivalent)  fabrics for sewing up your own dry bags, frame bags, and perhaps items for your bikepacking supporting gear/tents?

I have been trying to source a UHMWPE Fabric that is in the 15gsm range.  So far, the lightest weight material I can find is in the 33gsm weight range, and the majority of fabric listed in Aliexpress stores are for ballistic applications.   

I am on my continual quest to lighten the load on my Bike Packing rig.

Do you mean something like this? https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005012121579936.html

Are you sure this is the right fabric for a bag?

Almost except... The link you posted is for 180 grams/meter UHMWPE, which is about 10X the weight of the UHMWPE material I am looking for.  The link you posted states the material is for ballistic applications.

Here is a link to the Dyneema material I am trying to find on Aliexpress:    https://www.dyneema.com/fabric-finder/dyneema-composite-fabric-055/ct1e08

This is a link to a Chinese manufacturer with their version of Dyneema.  https://www.mydellan.com/product/uhmwpe-fabric/

I found one fabric at AliExpress but horrible expensive. Not worth...
~135€/m

Other than that...i know shipping might be an issue.. but this is exactly what you mentioned : https://www.extremtextil.de/en/dyneema-composite-fabric-0.55-19g-sqm/70284.DKLOLV

I did a query to some Alibaba listed manufacturers.  I am hoping to figure out how to get samples sent to me.   Many companies are trying to sell me heavier UHMWPE sheets/fabric that is more commonly used in ballistic applications.   There appears to be a few variations that might meet my requirements.

From my understanding, the only laminate factory that makes those is us based.
