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.
道默化學跨越大西洋
跨越大西洋的兩周旅程：2018年11月4日，法國水手Yoann Richomme將從圣馬洛（法國布列塔尼）乘坐著名的Route du Rhum前往法國加勒比海的瓜德羅普島。
DOMO正在這個傳奇的4000英里長帆船賽上贊助法國水手。 Yoann和DOMO有一個共同的理念：敏捷（積極 - 專注 - 速度）和堅持不懈是成功的關鍵。尼龍出色的可持續性能和可靠性非常值得信賴，尼龍是帆，繩索和服裝的首選材料。
什么是Route du Rhum？
Route du Rhum（法語為“朗姆酒路線”）是一個跨大西洋的帆船賽，始于1978年，每4年在10/ 11月舉行一次。行程從法國圣馬洛的康卡勒北部的Grouin岬角到法國加勒比海的瓜德羅普島上的Pointe-à-Pitre，行程3,540海里（約6,500公里）。穿越大海通常需要大約16天。根據天氣情況，可能減少到13天。
如果沒有尼龍6，在兩周內穿越大西洋是不可能的。船上使用的大三角帆是由尼龍織物制成，以其重量輕和高剛度著稱。此外，聚酰胺6繩索因其高強度和強耐磨性而脫穎而出。沒有尼龍的強度，功能性服裝紡織品就不可能存在。
DOMO在市場上以其可持續尼龍ECONAMID®系列而聞名。
該產品系列于2017年發展，開發了三種新的阻燃材料，以滿足電氣和電子業務中更環保解決方案的需求。
