Product Overview
120gsm UHMWPE UD Fabric is a high-strength composite material manufactured from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers arranged in a 0°/90° unidirectional structure.
Compared with heavier hard armor materials, the 120gsm specification provides a better balance between weight reduction and ballistic performance, making it particularly suitable for lightweight helmet and armor plate systems.
Its low density and high tensile strength allow manufacturers to reduce overall armor weight without compromising protection efficiency.
