Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene material fibers, also known as high-strength and high modulus polyethylene fibers, abbreviated as UHMWPE fibers, are listed as one of the three major high-performance fiber directions due to their outstanding performance. In 2000, the system achieved the localization of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers for the first time. Since 2011, China has increased investment in the production of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers, greatly increasing production.

 

In recent years, the production capacity of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers in China has accounted for over 60% of the world's total. UHMWPE fiber enterprises in our country rely on cost advantages to expand into overseas markets with high gross profit margins. Longkui Armor's parent company Qian Xi Group's ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers and composite materials have not only successfully achieved import substitution, but also reached the international leading level, meeting the high-end markets at home and abroad, committed to realizing the vision of "To be a world class supplier of protective materials".

 

Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene fibers are currently the fibers with high specific strength and specific modulus among industrial high-performance fiber materials. It is a fiber spun from polyethylene resin with a molecular weight exceeding 1 million. Its elongation at break is higher than that of carbon fiber and aramid, and it has good flexibility. Its mechanical properties are still good at high strain rates and low temperatures, and its impact resistance is better than that of carbon fiber and aramid fiber. It is an ideal bulletproof and stab proof safety protection material. Therefore, it is also widely used in other fields, including textile, chemical, food, agriculture, construction, medical, sports, military defense, aerospace, etc., with high market demand.
