UHMWPE YARN

"Engineered for Strength, Trusted Worldwide”

Up to 15x stronger than steel. Built for performance
across defence, medical, marine, and industrial sectors.

About UHMWPE

Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) yarn is a high-performance yarn recognized for its exceptional mechanical properties and versatility. With a strength-to-weight ratio up to 15 times greater than steel, it outperforms traditional synthetic fibres like polyester, nylon, and aramid across multiple demanding industries.

UHMWPE is produced by aligning ultra-long polyethylene molecular chains in the same orientation, resulting in a material with tenacity ranging from 33 to 45 grams/denier (g/d) — making it one of the strongest synthetic fibres available. UHMWPE yarn also exhibits low elongation, high abrasion resistance, chemical stability, and natural buoyancy, making it ideal for both dry and wet environments.

Its resistance to UV rays, moisture, and mold makes UHMWPE a reliable choice for outdoor, maritime, and industrial use. The combination of light weight, exceptional strength, and long-lasting durability helps manufacturers reduce product weight, increase safety margins, and extend service life.

Whether you’re manufacturing bulletproof vests, ballistic components, surgical threads, or next-generation lifting slings, Techtextile’s UHMWPE yarn, in collaboration with Webtex Taiwan, offers a future-ready solution backed by technical support, quality assurance, and regional agility.
