LUX® HP-UHMWPE Hochleistungs­laminat

Maximum performance at minimum weight

Impact-tested LUX high-performance UHMWPE laminate
HP-UHMWPE · Multi-layer UD laminate · High-pressure consolidated

High-performance HP-UHMWPE® laminates are manufactured from multiple layers of advanced UHMWPE fibres consolidated under high pressure and controlled temperature into a robust composite.

The result is an exceptionally lightweight yet durable material for protection applications where weight, stability and performance are critical.

Advanced UHMWPE technology

Unidirectionally aligned fibre layers are precisely bonded to create a durable laminate with high strength and efficient energy absorption.

  • Low weight
  • High strength
  • High energy absorption
  • Corrosion resistance
  • Long service life
  • Wide range of applications

Engineered for demanding applications

LUX® laminates are suitable for systems that demand maximum performance at low weight.

  • Body-armour plates
  • Special-protection vehicles
  • Ballistic protective shields
  • Helicopters
  • Marine applications
