UHMWPE UD Fabric
China World Protective Materials
UHMWPE UD Fabric
Unidirectional composite material designed for lightweight protective systems, combining aligned UHMWPE fibers with controlled resin bonding and 0°/90° cross-ply construction.
Construction
0° / 90° Cross-Ply
Material Options
Soft & Hard UD
China World Range
75–240 GSM
2UD–6UD
Layer Options
Material Technology
Aligned Fibers for Efficient Energy Distribution
UHMWPE fibers are arranged in parallel, bonded with a controlled resin system and cross-laminated in alternating directions. This construction minimizes fiber crimp and helps distribute impact energy across the protective layer.
China World soft and hard UD programs can be selected according to the required areal density, layer structure, final pressing process and complete protection system.
- High strength-to-weight ratio
- Low moisture absorption
- Corrosion and chemical resistance
- Good abrasion resistance
- Flexible soft-armor options
- Stable hard-composite options
Material Structure
From Fiber Alignment to Finished UD Sheet
Fiber Alignment
Continuous UHMWPE fibers are arranged in a controlled parallel direction.
Resin Bonding
A selected resin system stabilizes the aligned fiber layer.
Cross-Ply Assembly
Layers are arranged at 0° and 90° for multi-directional energy distribution.
Project Verification
Areal density, dimensions and system performance are confirmed for each project.
