What is UHMWPE fiber?

UHMWPE fiber(Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber), it is with para-aramid fiber and carbon fiber are the three most high-tech specialty fibers in the world today.

It’s with high strength, high modulus, light weight, bullet-proof, stab-proof, cut-proof, seawater-proof, chemical corrosion resistance, UV resistance, high wear resistance, low temperature resistance and other remarkable advantages.

It is widely used in defense industry, aerospace, safety protection, engineering construction, marine fisheries, civil textiles and other fields. In 2018, the rope net sector accounted for 24.8 %, the glove sector 37.0 %, the bulletproof protection sector 26.4 % and the weaving sector 11.8 % in China market.

In recent years, because of the excellent tensile strength, impact resistance and creep properties of UHMWPE and its low friction coefficient, it has become an ideal material for artificial limb, and has been used to manufacture the implants of total hip joint, total knee joint and total shoulder joint.

Uhmwpe fiber is one of the three most high-tech fibers in the world, and it is also the strongest fiber in the world. Its strength is 15 times that of steel and 2 times that of carbon fiber and aromatic 1414. Currently it is the main material for making body armor.

Our company supplies various types of UHMWPE fiber to meet most of the requirements. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us immediately!
