The Dyneema Reinforced Airex Model construction is a sandwich construction described as "bullet-proof" by the US magazine Windsurfing. Using an Airex core combined with military grade glass, D-RAM boards feature the use of wood under the heels for impact resistance as well as Dyneema in high impact-exposed areas of the board.
Dyneema is a fibre engineered to provide a remarkably high specific strength and high impact absorption properties. The fibres are manufactured in a unique gel-spinning process that align the molecule chains in a parallel orientation. The resulting strength, elongation-to-break ratio and a sonic velocity of over 10 km/s combine to give a sandwich laminate capable of absorbing high levels of impact energy. Dyneema is used by the US Department of Defence in their bullet-proof vest for ballistic energy absorption.
