UHMWPE 78 and SK99


Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene or UHMWPE a Polyolefin made from a Alkene or unsaturated Hydrocarbon
Light, with incredible strength, UHMWPE embodies all these properties. With UHMWPE being The World’s Strongest Fibre and returning a break strength far superior to that of polyester, a comparable diameter of UHMWPE core as opposed to polyester will return a strength difference of up to 4 times stronger. By fully impregnating this UHMWPE core, it allows sports sailors to strip cover where necessary in weight saving applications minimising the danger of the core fibres snagging.
