Since its commercialization, HMPE has been broadly used for numerous applications.
It has proven to be resistant to concentrated acids and alkalis, as well as numerous organic solvents. Furthermore it has extremely low moisture adsorption, a very low coefficient of friction, is self-lubricating and highly resistant to abrasion.
However, it is best known for its excellent impact strength in combination with its low density.
HMPE Braids can be ordered in colours
The colours are created when the HPME is produced, therefore the colours can’t wear off.
