Product catalog summary
Introduction
Dimension-Polyant, a leading sailcloth manufacturer since 1966, has developed a new line of high-end, lightweight sailcloth designed for the super yacht market. This line emphasizes a high strength-to-weight ratio and features light, soft, non-bulky characteristics suitable for in-mast and in-boom furling systems.
Product Specifications
The sailcloth line incorporates abrasion-resistant Ultra-PE covering and stretch-resistant carbon to enhance durability and performance. The construction includes increasing counts of carbon ribbons and Ultra-PE based taffetas, covering 25,000 to 60,000 DPI for various sail sizes. The bias characteristics ensure smooth composite construction from luff to leech.
Manufacturing and Innovation
Dimension-Polyant is the only global sailcloth producer with in-house manufacturing, utilizing high tenacity fibers, custom chemicals, and premium films. Their dedicated R&D team and state-of-the-art facilities drive continuous innovation, supported by German and American engineering.
Global Reach
The company offers worldwide distribution and technical support, making it a preferred partner for sailmakers globally.
Style Construction Details
The product line includes various styles such as GXLD25, GXLD30, GXLD35, GXLD45, GXLD50, and GXLD60, each with specific Ultra-PE ripstop taffeta and Technora® Black X-PLY® configurations, varying in DPI Carbon Insert® levels.
Performance and Durability
Ultra-PE taffetas provide a soft finish, reducing the 'board-like' feel. The high Ultra-PE count in rip-stop taffetas prevents catastrophic failure and accommodates flex and impact loading. A mildew inhibitor with TiO2 coating enhances surface durability. The combination of carbon and Ultra-PE fibers addresses strength and weight concerns, ensuring stable initial shapes and performance integrity.
General Recommendations
Recommendations are based on global sailcloth application experience, intended as guidelines for modern IMS yachts. Consideration should be given to wind conditions in the sail's intended use area. Dimension-Polyant disclaims liability for damages arising from these recommendations.
UVi® Technology
The new UVi® Technology improves UV resistance by 10-15%, significantly extending fabric durability.

Catalog excerpts

Ultra-PE-1

This line has been developed to address the need for high end, lightweight styles for the growing super yacht market. Besides the need for a high strength-to-weight ratio, one of the most important features in the design protocol of this product is the light, soft, non-bulky characteristics which are critical for the in-mast and in-boom furling systems typically used on these yachts. Abrasion resistant Ultra-PE covering stretch resistant carbon ensures a strong, durable fabric that will increase sailing performance without decreasing the life of the sail. The line is based on increasing counts of both inserted carbon ribbons and Ultra-PE based taffetas as weights go up. The rational designation of these components produces a line that comprehensively covers 25,000 to 60,000 total DPI for step up construction in different sized sails as well as ensuring the proper fabric use within an inventory. Bias characteristics remain very close throughout this line so composite construction of the different weights within a sail blend smoothly from luff to leech. The leading sailcloth manufacturer.

Ultra-PE-2

This performance line of sailcloth is produced with our new UVi® Technology which has been recently implemented in our finishing process. With our UVi® Technology we are able to improve the UV resistance of the fabric by 10 - 15% resulting in a substantially longer durability. The Ultra-PE taffetas offer a very soft finish to the product and with fewer passes in lamination the whole effect is a less "board-like" hand. The use of the high Ultra-PE count in the woven fill rip-stop taffetas ensures the elimination of catastrophic failure. Ultra-PE is also critical in accepting flex and impact loading...
