UHMPE

UHMPE (ultra-high molecular polyethylene) yarns combine extreme mechanical strength, durability, low friction and chemical resistance, making them one of the most versatile high-performance yarns. UHMPE yarns are up to 15x stronger than steel and 40% lighter than aramid. They excel in cut and impact resistance and are widely used in anti-cut gloves, ballistic armor and protective gear. Their low-density and low moisture absorption makes them ideal for use in maritime environments such as marine cables and ropes.
