New for 2025, Cristex will be launching a range of UHMWPE fabrics into the UK market. Such materials are used extensively in the Ballistics and Personal Protection industry.
UHMWPE fibres combine exceptional strength, durability and low density, making these fibres attractive for several industrial and life protection applications. The fibres can be used to create hard protective clothing (helmet), spall liner, platform protection plates (air, naval and land vehicles) and rigid life protection plates.
Key features:
• Ultra-high tensile strength and modulus
• Excellent strength-to-weight ratio
• Exceptional toughness
• Water and moisture resistance
• Resistance to microorganisms and most corrosive chemicals
• UV stability
• Resistance to fatigue and internal friction
If you would like to learn more about this material and how it can be applied to meet your business needs, as well as receive a sample of this material, please call us on 01282 770666 or email at sales@cristex.co.uk.
