Code Zero LaminatesCode Zero LaminatesCode Zero LaminatesCode Zero Laminates

Code Zero sails were initially developed for offshore racing but are now gaining popularity

in club and buoys racing. A Code Zero sail is similar to an asymmetric spinnaker but flatter

in shape and used like a light area genoa. Conventional spinnaker fabrics have insufficient

stretch resistance to work in these applications. Therefore DIMENSION-POLYANT has

developed a special lightweight laminate line to match the requirements.

DIMENSION-POLYANT Ripstop Spinnaker materials are designed specifically to complement

today’s radial constructed spinnakers. Our nylons help to build smoother, stronger, more

stable versatile spinnakers based on their constructions, which also provide high weight to

strength ratios.

DIMENSION-POLYANT has developed this new spinnaker line based on the combination of

unique woven substrates and new coating technologies. The Formulon line utilizes our exclu-

sive Formulon coatings to create super low stretch spinnaker fabric with superior bias control

to prevent distortion and accompanying shrinkage under load. This double coating is applied

to substrates with "paired" ripstops allowing the firm finish to work without reducing tear and

breaking strength. Formulon spinnaker material exhibits performance that lasts combined with

the durability to work in modern asymmetrical applications.

DIMENSION-POLYANT Ripstop Polyester spinnaker fabrics exhibit several unique characte-

ristics that produce exceptionally fast spinnakers. These fabrics rely on their tight Polyester yarn

construction rather than a heavy finish to resist stretch. Spinnakers can be built to maximum

measurements due to minimum changes of characteristics when exposed to water and sun.

DIMENSION-POLYANT One Design Polyester fabrics are a precision designed collection of

purpose built fabrics to meet the requirements of a wide range of boat and sail applications.

In-house weaving and finishing ensure that the tight constructions and variety of finishes, from

the soft FTO to the exclusive hard coated HTP® plus, perform with a consistency for classes

that demand a repeatable sail shape every time. Each style has proven its outstanding proper-

ties, particularly the 1% performance and controlled bias stretch, on and off the racecourse.

Our One Design fabrics have been consistently refined over the years to be winners in sails

from the Int. Optimist class up to Olympic classes.

SQUARESQUARESQUARESQUARE®®®®

DIMENSION-POLYANT SQUARE® was designed for use in performance oriented sails. These

premium polyester styles are used when improved off-the-threadline support is desired.

SQUARE® styles are unique in many aspects.

They are easily identified by a ripstop pattern woven into the substrate by using either 500 or

1000 denier yarns paired in both the warp and the fill direction. These yarns create an

extremely rugged fabric, even in the lightweight styles with the very firm HTP® plus finish.

All the SQUARE® styles feature fairly balanced constructions, woven with very tightly packed

small denier yarns. Combined with larger size SQUARE® yarns, it makes these styles low

stretch in all three directions and suitable for both vertical and crosscut constructions in

racing and cruising headsails as well as in small mainsails.

Common ApplicationsCommon ApplicationsCommon ApplicationsCommon Applications

The SQUARE® fabrics are used extensively in demanding One Design classes. They are winning world

championships and Olympics while proving themselves in cruising and big boat racing, too.

DIMENSION-POLYANT invented the TriPLY lamination technique many years ago. Over the

years these styles have evolved to become a rugged, lightweight range of fabrics with

unmatched lamination bond. This multi-directional line is very suitable as front-end materi-

al in head and mainsails.

DIMENSION-POLYANT Polyester black X-PLY® line has been created by inserting a 6°

black polyester X-PLY® yarn into a warp oriented scrim of high tenacity polyester. It is avai-

lable in both a racing scrim version with film on both sides and a taffeta version where we

have laminated a super lightweight taffeta on one side for extra durability. In this logical

line we have increased the range of applications while still assuring superior shape hol-

ding characteristics. The X-PLY® Line is very suitable for applications as different as geno-

as, mainsails and front-end materials.

As a complement to our successful polyester based PX Line DIMENSION-POLYANT introdu-

ced PEN versions of these fabrics. These styles practically utilize the same constructions as

the PX versions with one exception: PEN fiber is used in the warp direction. PEN has a higher

modulus than polyester and these fabrics exhibit approximately 30 to 40% lower stretch than

their Polyester equivalents. This range has a "step up" fill construction. As the warp strength

goes up - so does the fill strength. The PEN X-PLY® Line of fabric is the ideal choice for sails

where low stretch is a top priority and aramid based fabrics must not be used. The PE fabrics

are produced utilizing our patented X-PLY® technique assuring sailmakers of reliable perfor-

mance and the highest quality lamination available on the sailcloth market. As further improve-

ment the X-PLY® contains PEN fibers.

DIMENSION-POLYANT’s FLEX® line stands for “Fill Laminate Extra X”. FLEX® is especially

suited for racing and cruising sails. Foundations of all FLEX® laminate constructions are

strong fill and warp yarns. Additional 20° and 30° “double X” patterns from the fill absorb

multiple load situations. Thanks to its novel construction, FLEX® handles strain in six differ-

ent directions, resulting in unprecedented shape retention characteristics. In addition to

primary loads, off-angle loads in clew, head and tack areas, mid leech and luff are catered

for. FLEX® will also absorb those dynamic loads that occur during sailing and enables excel-

lent shape control. FLEX® styles are crosscut fabrics and available with several fibre densi-

ties which can be combined in a sail in accordance with the expected load situation.

FLEX®’s tight-knit fibre matrix guarantees long performance life and superior durability.

GXLD LineGXLD LineGXLD LineGXLD Line

The GXLD line is a continuation of developments targeted for the emerging megaboat market.

As different products are tested in the high-load applications these boats develop, it's more

obvious that combinations of the known fibre characteristics we have dealt with can be intert-

wined to produce unique fabrics. The fabrics must combine light weight with exceptional sha-

pe holding characteristics and long term durability. Melding these characteristics through our

in-house lamination affords us the luxury of testing different combinations of taffetas, scrims

and films to produce the highest end product at a reasonable cost-to-performance in its' appli-

cation. To reach this end, we've developed the GXLD line as a combination of the strongest,

most durable product in Dyneema® and the lowest stretch material in Carbon. By constructing

this line with rugged ripstop Dyneema® taffetas, the inherent chafe of sto-way masts and

booms in hydraulically powered applications becomes a non-factor. The strength of the

proprietary carbon inserts addresses the intense loads while minimizing cloth distortion and

growth, critical factors that must be addressed in keeping sail geometry perfect to fit the many

handlingsystems crucial to sailing these boats.

The DIMENSION-POLYANT D4® family of D4® Premium, D4® Fastline and D4® Multi Panel

provide the ultimate in flexibility allowing the sailmaker to create a custom product directed

specifically to his customer’s needs.

Continuous development of DIMENSION-POLYANT’s D4® Custom Load Path Membranes has

lead to the introduction of both D4® Fastline and D4® Multi Panel as additions to the classic

D4®, now D4® Premium range.

Recognition that reduced cure times would enable a more speedy delivery lead to D4® Fastline

and a desire for increased automation and the benefits that would make available to sail-

makers resulted in D4® Multi Panel.

Each product line offers specific benefits from the ultimate strength and longevity of

D4® Premium, faster availability and cost effectiveness of D4® Fastline to the optimised for

small to medium boat D4® Multi Panel.

Brochures and detailed information can be obtained from your DIMENSION-POLYANT

customer consultant.

D4® offers the largest choice of fibres, including high-modulus

Aramid, Carbon, Technora® Black, Vectran®, PEN and Dyneema®.

Carbon, Aramid, Technora® Black and Vectran® can be combined.

D4® is available with various film and rugged taffeta surfaces.

DIMENSION-POLYANT has developed the Ultra-Bond® adhesive and an application system

to conduct sails that are bonded rather than stitched together.

The advantages of glued, rather than sewn seams includeThe advantages of glued, rather than sewn seams includeThe advantages of glued, rather than sewn seams includeThe advantages of glued, rather than sewn seams include

• Ultra-Bond® adhesive eliminates any possibility of seam creep,

retaining the orginal sail shape

• Bonded, smooth seams that are joined without any pretension

• The sail overall weight is reduced with elimination of seam

reinforcement and large seam overlaps

• The sail can only be constructed using lighter bonded patches and

other reinforcement

• New super light fabrics can be developed without concern of "seamability"

Bias RangeBias RangeBias RangeBias Range

The Bias Range is DIMENSION-POLYANT's way of assuring you consistant quality sailcloth

and an easy to use ordering system. For instance, when ordering a 280 AP HMTO,

DIMENSION-POLYANT guarentees to supply a lot with a bias elongation of no less than

5 units and no more than 8 units at 10 lbs. load.

For HTP® plus the bias range depends on the style. Consult The Sailcloth Book or the

Technical Manual for exact information. For HMTO, MTO and FTO all specs are at 10 lbs.

Radial corner tapes are a lighter, more efficient alternative to corner construction and sail

reinforcement. These tapes are made using bundles of pretensioned fibers to insure low

stretch and zero crimp. Tapes are available in PEN (White), Aramid (Gold), and Carbon

(Black). Call us for more information or application recommendations.
