Key Properties of UHMWPE Fabric

High Strength Without Heavy Yarn

Low Density

Good Abrasion Resistance

Cut Resistance

Chemical Resistance

Woven UHMWPE Fabric Made to Your Specification

Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber—also known as high-strength, high-modulus polyethylene fiber—boasts a specific strength ten times that of steel and a specific modulus second only to that of high-end carbon fiber. It offers an exceptional combination of properties, including high strength, high modulus, low elongation at break, impact resistance, cut resistance, UV resistance, chemical resistance, and superior wear resistance.

UHMWPE fabric is utilized in applications requiring a strong, lightweight woven layer. It is manufactured from ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene yarn; the final weight, thickness, and handling characteristics of the fabric are determined by the yarn count, weave density, and construction.

Our UHMWPE fabric can be customized to meet your specific requirements regarding weight, width, and construction. Please share details about your application and target specifications so that we can identify the best options for your project.

Applications of SHENGHE UHMWPE Woven Fabric

SHENGHE UHMWPE woven fabric combines low weight with high strength. Depending on the fabric construction, it can be used in protective products, bags, outdoor gear and selected composite applications.

Protective clothing and equipment

Used as a woven layer or reinforcement in cut-resistant gloves, sleeves, workwear and protective equipment panels. Suitability depends on the fabric construction and finished product requirements.

PE ballistic helmets and selected vest constructions

Selected UHMWPE woven fabrics can be used in pressed PE helmet shells and in certain hybrid vest designs or supporting layers. Many soft armor panels use cross-plied UHMWPE UD material. The finished helmet or panel must be tested to confirm its protection level.

Vehicle armor and composite panels

Heavier UHMWPE woven fabrics may be considered for selected rigid PE armor panels and vehicle panel constructions. Suitability depends on the fabric grade, layer arrangement, bonding process and finished panel design. The completed panel should be tested to confirm its performance.

Bags, pet products, sports and outdoor gear

Used in backpacks, tool bags, equipment cases, reinforcement panels and selected sports or outdoor products. UHMWPE woven fabric may also be considered as a reinforcement layer in pet products that need added tear resistance. Suitability depends on the product design and should be confirmed through testing.

Why Work with SHENGHE for UHMWPE Fabric?

Custom Woven Fabric Specifications

SHENGHE supplies woven UHMWPE fabric for industrial and protective applications. Available specifications depend on the yarn and fabric construction. Share your target fabric weight, width, weave, and intended use, and we can review the requirements and discuss a suitable specification. Custom requests are welcome.

Selection Based on Your Requirements

Choosing UHMWPE fabric involves more than selecting a material name. Fabric weight, weave, yarn denier, and warp and weft construction can all affect how the material performs in your manufacturing process. Tell us about your product design and processing requirements so we can discuss suitable options and arrange samples for evaluation.

Support for Processing and Testing

Woven UHMWPE fabric can be used in processes such as cutting, sewing, panel construction, and composite production, depending on the finished design. SHENGHE can provide available fabric test reports and samples for evaluation. For protective applications, fabric test data describes the fabric itself; the protection level of a finished helmet, vest, or armor panel must be assessed through testing of the finished product.

FAQ About SHENGHE UHMWPE Fabric

Can I request a sample?

Yes. SHENGHE can provide samples for evaluation. Tell us what you plan to make and share any target specifications, and we’ll discuss a suitable fabric option.

Can you customize the fabric weight and width?

Yes. Please send us your target weight and width, along with the preferred yarn count, weave and order quantity. We’ll check which construction is available for your needs.

Does yarn count determine the fabric weight?

Not by itself. Yarn count is one factor; warp and weft density, weave and finishing also affect the fabric’s weight and thickness. Two fabrics made with the same yarn count can have different specifications.

Can SHENGHE provide cut-resistance test reports?

Reports can be provided for the specified fabric construction. Let us know which test method or standard you need. A fabric test result does not automatically give a finished glove or garment a cut-resistance rating.

Is UHMWPE fabric ballistic-rated?

A fabric should not be described as ballistic-rated based on the material alone. Any rating needs to be supported by testing of the complete product or system, since performance depends on its full construction and the applicable test.

How do I choose the right UHMWPE fabric?

Start with the product you’re making, your target weight and width, and how the fabric will be processed. If you already use a fabric, send SHENGHE its specifications or a sample so we can discuss a comparable construction.

What information should I include in an inquiry?

Please include the application, target weight and width, preferred yarn count or weave, any required test method, sample needs and estimated quantity. This gives us a clearer starting point for recommending a suitable UHMWPE woven fabric.
