Product Overview
160gsm UHMWPE UD Fabric is a unidirectional composite fabric manufactured by laminating high-strength UHMWPE fibers in a cross-ply (0°/90°) structure.
Compared with lighter UD fabrics, the 160gsm specification offers fewer required layers for achieving NIJ IIIA protection, reducing total panel thickness while maintaining excellent ballistic performance.
It is one of the most popular specifications for tactical vest manufacturers worldwide.

FAQ
Q1. What is 160gsm UHMWPE UD fabric mainly used for?
It is primarily used for manufacturing NIJ IIIA soft armor panels, tactical body armor, and concealable ballistic vests.
Q2. Why choose 160gsm instead of 120gsm?
160gsm fabric generally requires fewer layers to achieve the same protection level, helping reduce panel thickness and improve production efficiency. The optimal choice depends on the target balance between flexibility, weight, and armor design.
Q3. Can the ballistic performance be customized?
Yes. Different fiber grades, layer configurations, and composite structures can be optimized according to the target protection level and customer requirements.
Q4. What roll sizes are available?
Standard rolls are approximately 1600 mm wide with a length of about 115 meters. Custom dimensions are available upon request.
Q5. Do you provide OEM manufacturing?
Yes. We support OEM and ODM services, including GSM, width, fiber grade, packaging, labeling, and customized composite solutions.
Q6. Which protection standards can this fabric support?
This fabric is commonly used in systems designed to meet NIJ IIIA requirements. Actual protection performance depends on the complete armor system and must be verified through testing.
