Dyneema's chemical composition allows it to boast of many characteristics such as:
Resistance to most chemicals
Low density
Invisible to ultra-violet light sources and thermal imaging devices
Floats on water
Smooth to the touch
Fire resistant and self-extinguishing
Can withstand extreme cold and hot temperatures
Biologically inert (doesn't cause a reaction to the human body)
Sonic velocity and acoustic impedance near that of water
High electrical resistance
Elongation at break is low, energy needed to break is high
Very high strength
