The specific impact energy absorption of UHMWPE fiber is the highest among advanced composite materials.

UHMWPE Fiber for Ballistic applications, has a larger monofilament denier, higher breaking elongation rate and greater impact resistance, high strength and modulus with low density, anti-aging and abrasion resistance, which greatly improves energy transmission efficiency and impact resistance of the fiber.

The specific impact load value U/P of UHMWPE fiber is 10 times that of steel, and more than twice that of glass fiber and aramid fiber. Now it has been widely used as ballistic materials for soft body armor and hard plate. TM40 UHMWPE fiber with a tenacity of 40 cN/dtex is the excellent fiber as the raw material for ballistic application. It has been used in the lightest UD material of soft body armor.
