DOMO Chemicals crosses the Atlantic ocean
A two-week journey across the Atlantic: On 4 November 2018, French sailor Yoann Richomme will sail the famous Route du Rhum from Saint-Malo (Brittany, France) to the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe.
DOMO is sponsoring the French sailor on this legendary 4,000-miles long regatta. Yoann and DOMO share a common philosophy: agility (positive – focus – speed) and perseverance are crucial to success. The naval architect trusts the outstanding sustainable performance and reliability of Nylon, the material of choice for its sails, ropes and apparel.
What is the Route du Rhum?
The Route du Rhum (French for "rum route") is a transatlantic sailing regatta, which started in 1978 and which is held every 4 years in October / November. The journey leads 3,540 nautical miles (approximately 6,500 kilometres) from the Grouin headland in the north of Cancale off the French Saint-Malo to Pointe-à-Pitre on the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe. Crossing the ocean usually takes about 16 days. Depending on the weather conditions, it could be as low as 13 days.
Crossing the Atlantic in only 2 weeks would not be possible without polyamide 6. The spinnaker sails used in the boat are made of Nylon fabric, known for its light weight and high stiffness. Additionally, Polyamide 6 ropes stand out for their high strength and strong resistance to abrasion. Functional apparel textiles could not exist without the strength of nylon.
道默化学跨越大西洋
跨越大西洋的两周旅程：2018年11月4日，法国水手Yoann Richomme将从圣马洛（法国布列塔尼）乘坐着名的Route du Rhum前往法国加勒比海的瓜德罗普岛。
DOMO正在这个传奇的4000英里长帆船赛上赞助法国水手。 Yoann和DOMO有一个共同的理念：敏捷（积极 - 专注 - 速度）和坚持不懈是成功的关键。尼龙出色的可持续性能和可靠性非常值得信赖，尼龙是帆，绳索和服装的首选材料。
什么是Route du Rhum？
Route du Rhum（法语为“朗姆酒路线”）是一个跨大西洋的帆船赛，始于1978年，每4年在10/ 11月举行一次。行程从法国圣马洛的康卡勒北部的Grouin岬角到法国加勒比海的瓜德罗普岛上的Pointe-à-Pitre，行程3,540海里（约6,500公里）。穿越大海通常需要大约16天。根据天气情况，可能减少到13天。
如果没有尼龙6，在两周内穿越大西洋是不可能的。船上使用的大三角帆是由尼龙织物制成，以其重量轻和高刚度着称。此外，聚酰胺6绳索因其高强度和强耐磨性而脱颖而出。没有尼龙的强度，功能性服装纺织品就不可能存在。
DOMO在市场上以其可持续尼龙ECONAMID®系列而闻名。
该产品系列于2017年发展，开发了三种新的阻燃材料，以满足电气和电子业务中更环保解决方案的需求。
