ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene , UHMWPE (Abkürzung)
high-modulus polyethylene , HMPE (Abkürzung)

The helmet's shell is made of an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene material.

A combination of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene fibres and fiberglass are used for this textile.

The strongest engineering materials are generally made as fibers, for example carbon fiber and Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene.

The flying lines are made from braided ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene, which is light, does not stretch and stays slippery even when wrapped many times.

Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)

However, some authors question necessity to use any glide waxes on modern ski base made of different kinds of Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE).

Spectra Shield is a composite material (specifically, an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber) used in bulletproof vests and vehicle armour.

Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE, UHMW) is a subset of the thermoplastic polyethylene.

This fiber, based on ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), is used in many applications in various end-markets, such as life protection, shipping, fishing, offshore, sailing, medical and textiles.

Flying lines are made of a very strong material, frequently ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene, in order to handle the dynamic load in unpredictable wind while maintaining a small cross-sectional profile to minimize drag.

The plates are the most technically advanced body armor fielded by the U.S. military, and are constructed of boron carbide ceramic with an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene shield backing that breaks down projectiles and halts their momentum.

Compound bow strings and cables are normally made of high-modulus polyethylene and are designed to have great tensile strength and minimal stretchability, in order that the bow transfers its energy to the arrow as efficiently and durably as possible.

Also known as high-modulus polyethylene, (HMPE), or high-performance polyethylene (HPPE), it has extremely long chains, with a molecular mass usually between 2 and 6 million u. The longer chain serves to transfer load more effectively to the polymer backbone by strengthening intermolecular interactions.
