High Performance Polyethylene (Hppe) Fibers

43941

High performance polyethylene (HPPE) fibers exhibit high strength, high elasticity modulus as well as superior performance with their low density and high mechanical properties. HPPE fibers are generally produced by gel-spinning process. They display not only high abrasion and fatigue resistance, but also exhibit resistance to most chemicals. These fibers can float on the water with their low density, less than 1 g/cm3, and they are preferred in various marine applications due to their water and moisture resistant features as well as high mechanical properties. Furthermore, high energy absorption of these fibers allows for their use in ballistic products. Although their low melting temperature limits the application areas of HPPE fibers, today, it is possible to come across their end-use applications in many areas of technical textiles such as medical, protective and sport textiles.
