Abrasion and impact resistant felt is used in shoe soles and bulletproof equipment

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) felt boasts excellent abrasion resistance, resulting in a long lifespan for felt products in frictional and scouring environments; its low coefficient of friction, smooth surface, and self-lubricating properties make it suitable for applications requiring friction reduction and anti-sticking; its high impact resistance and excellent toughness even at low temperatures effectively absorb impact energy; it also exhibits good electrical insulation and resistance to most acids, alkalis, and salts.

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene felt is a high-performance material that combines the excellent properties of UHMWPE (abrasion resistance, impact resistance, low friction, chemical resistance) with the porous, flexible, and easily processed characteristics of felt. It offers significant advantages in applications requiring abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, low friction, and a degree of permeability or flexibility, making it an ideal choice for solving sealing, filtration, protection, and buffering problems in demanding conditions.


Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene felt applications

① Industrial abrasion-resistant protective lining

Mining Conveyor Systems: Hopper, chute, and vibrating screen liners (replacing manganese steel plates, extending lifespan).

Chemical Equipment: Reactor seals, pump and valve liners (acid and alkali resistant, suitable for sulfuric acid, chromic acid, etc.).

② Anti-puncture shoe insole

Military and Police Tactical Boots: Combined with Kevlar fiber for double protection against punctures and ballistic fragments.

Outdoor Hiking Boots: Microporous moisture-wicking felt layer resolves the conflict between waterproofness and breathability, offering both safety and comfort.

③ Tactical Special Ballistic Inserts

Individual assault equipment;

Helicopter crew protection, curved ballistic inserts with strong ballistic and impact resistance;

VIP anti-sniper suits, hidden ballistic inserts in the lining of suits.
