UHMWPE Sheet

UHMW's long polymer chains and higher molecular weight allow it to sustain higher impacts and endure more trauma before it begins to wear. When hardness is less of a concern, HDPE is a lighter material that can still handle mild wear.

Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW or UHMWPE) is extremely tough plastic with high abrasion and wear resistance. It is easy to fabricate and machine and perfect for industrial applications that require durability, low friction, and chemical resistance.

UHMWPE fibers branded as Dyneema, commercialized in the late 1970s by the Dutch chemical company DSM, and as Spectra, commercialized by Honeywell (then AlliedSignal), are widely used in ballistic protection, defense applications, and increasingly in medical devices, sailing, hiking equipment, climbing, and many other ...
