What is UHMWPE used for?

Do you know what material Dyneema UHMWPE is?

In recent years, the global demand for ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers has continued to grow, and industry competition has become increasingly fierce. Relevant statistics show that in 2020, the total global production capacity of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers will be approximately 65,600 tons.

Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE, UHMW) is a subset of the thermoplastic polyethylene. Also known as high-modulus polyethylene, (HMPE), it has extremely long chains, with a molecular mass usually between 3.5 and 7.5 million amuout.The longer chain serves to transfer load more effectively to the polymer backbone by strengthening intermolecular interactions.

In the United States, Japan, Europe and other countries and regions, it has been widely used in many fields such as weapon research and development, aerospace, navigation, electronics, shipbuilding, building materials, sports, and medical care. The special parachute rope for aerospace and aviation made of it has high strength, light weight and strong tear resistance; aerospace radome, X-ray machine workbench, safety shield, shock-resistant container, etc. made of its reinforced material The product not only has high strength and light weight, but also has good dielectric properties and excellent high-frequency sonar permeability. Bulletproof products such as helmets, bulletproof clothing, and bulletproof vests made of them are light in weight and high in strength.

Dyneema UHMWPE Material is a best and strong alternative material for Fishing Nets production,even it is very expensive,more and more people are willing to use this material to produce fishing nets to meet their requirements.

Yangfan Mesh Factory always keep innovation and advanced production technology to adopt Dyneema UHMWPE material to produce fishing nets for some customers special requirements.
