Cristex are now suppliers of UHMWPE (Polyethylene)

Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE)

We are pleased to share that we are suppliers of a material that can be applied in a wide range of protective and industrial applications.

UHMWPE fibres are one of the most superior due to its low density whilst having the strongest physical properties. This in turn makes superior physical properties and makes these fibres attractive for several industrial and life protection applications.

This material 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
