NEW NON-TOXIC ANTIFOULING FOR AQUACULTURE NETS USING DYNEEMA® FIBERS FIND FIRST COMMERCIAL ADOPTION
DSM Dyneema announces the first commercial success of its collaboration with the Dutch company Micanti.

The combination of the new developed non-toxic Thorn-D® antifouling, from Micanti, with durable Dyneema® fibers, provides long-term, non-toxic resistance to fouling and thus avoids most environmental and fish-health issues.
