0.51 oz/yd ² Dyneema® Composite Fabric (formerly Cuben Fiber). DCF is a patented, ultra-lightweight fabric made of flexible non-woven composite laminates which are reinforced with Dyneema ® fibers.

This fabric is costly and for good reason. It's 15x strong than steel and provides the highest tear and tensile strength of any competing fabric on a weight-by-weight and thickness basis. Use only for projects that demand high-performance and the absolute best in ultra-lightweight, waterproof fabric.

The 0.51 oz/yd ² variant of DCF is best for ultralight tarps, tents, flys, and light duty stuff sacks.

B-Grade - This yardage has been screened out during QC for minor cosmetic blemishes such as discoloration, etc. All B-Grade material is completely functional. Note that this yardage is subject to availability and not a regularly stocked item.

Magical Mystery Material

I love the Dyneema composite material. It is very much like the material a monarch caterpillar spins around himself to form a chrysalis. Or somethingspun from an army of black widow spiders. In fact, it feels quite a bit like those extremely lightweight produce bags at the grocery. You think it is going to be weak, and it is certainly not.

I built a small parachute prototype using the 1/3 oz/yd version of this composite, and had an assistant run down the hallway with it to see what it looked like. Of course, full gallop, she caught the thing on a fire door frame which halted all activity instantaneously, tearing it from her grip and hanging there from the corner of the door frame by one gore. I really expected it to be damaged somehow, but it was not.

Its only weakness is its absolute intolerance to heat.

Fabric order

The order was filled fast and properly, as always with RipStop. I didn't really want to have to pay for the insurance, but couldn't quickly figure out how to delete it.

Skill is required to build a tarp

Cutting, gluing and sewing are very easy.
Just make a crease and glue it while paying attention to wrinkles.
Similarly, sewing is easy, but the seams need to be reinforced with repair tape.
However, it is easy to process, but to build a tarp, you need to be an experienced person who has a good understanding of the characteristics of DCF and the calculation of patterns that take wind resistance into consideration.

I want to make outdoor wear

Great stuff

Used this for a simple, lightweight groundcloth. RBTR great as always

Hi there, have fun, and stay safe out there. Thanks for the review.
