UHMWPE Fiber

Commonly known as Spectra® or Dyneema®, these fibers offer an incredible strength-to-weight ratio, abrasion resistance, and flexibility.  It's the perfect choice for outdoor and industrial applications.  

Goto longkui to know more.

Our UHMWPE fiber is supplied in a continuous multi-filament configuration and is offered in various sizes, colors, and lengths. The fiber is precision wound and provided on a 5/8" x 5 1/4" cardboard tube, making for convenient handling and continued processing.  Additionally, each order includes product certification, guaranteeing the authenticity of your fiber purchase.

Key Features of UHMWPE:

  • Excellent strength to weight ratio
  • High abrasion resistance
  • Low specific gravity
  • UV stable
  • Chemically inert except for strong oxidizing acids
  • Resistant to fatigue & internal friction


History
Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) was first polymerized in the &#;s.  The first Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers were commercialized in the late &#;s.  

Composition
Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a type of polyolefin that is composed of very long chains of polyethylene with a very high % of parallel orientation and high level of crystallinity. 

The extremely long polymer chains enable load transfer by strengthening intermolecular interactions.  UHMWPE fibers are manufactured in a gel spinning process.
