UHMWPE (Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene)

UHMWPE is a next-generation high-performance fiber widely used in advanced ballistic armor.
Best known by the brand names Dyneema® and Spectra®, UHMWPE is recognized as one of the world's strongest fibers, with a strength-to-weight ratio up to 15 times that of steel and zero stretch under high tension.

Unlike many synthetic fibers that degrade under sunlight, UHMWPE is exceptionally resistant to UV exposure.
It is non-hygroscopic, highly resistant to hydrolysis, and remains stable in humid environments.
Its extremely low chemical reactivity also provides outstanding chemical resistance.

UHMWPE is renowned for its exceptional resistance to abrasion and cutting.
It is so difficult to cut that standard scissors are ineffective.
During sling manufacturing, we must use specially designed cutting tools engineered specifically for UHMWPE.

Beyond its mechanical strength, UHMWPE offers excellent biocompatibility and is non-toxic to the human body.
It is used in medical applications, including joint replacement implants, demonstrating a level of safety suitable for prolonged contact and sensitive skin.

UHMWPE is also extremely lightweight, with a density low enough to float on water.
This low mass reduces inert weight in the sling system, allowing more generated energy to be transferred directly into the projectile rather than being absorbed by the sling itself, resulting in highly efficient energy delivery.

Unlike natural fibers or leather, UHMWPE does not require special care or maintenance.
It does not absorb moisture, does not support microbial growth, and maintains its properties over time under normal use.

The combination of strength, lightness, durability, environmental resistance, energy efficiency, zero stretch, and safety makes UHMWPE the ideal material for a high-performance sling.

Titanium Alloy

Titanium alloys offer a significantly higher strength-to-weight ratio than steel, allowing structural integrity to be maintained while minimizing unnecessary mass.

They are also highly resistant to impact and exhibit excellent fatigue strength, remaining stable under repeated loads and shocks.
This is a critical property for slings, where momentary high loads occur repeatedly during use.

Titanium naturally forms a stable protective oxide layer, giving it exceptional corrosion resistance.
It remains unaffected by prolonged exposure to sweat, moisture, salt, water, and even seawater, making it well suited not only for outdoor use but also for everyday carry (EDC) environments.

In addition, titanium alloys are highly biocompatible and non-toxic, and are widely used in medical implants.
This makes them safe for prolonged contact with skin, with an extremely low risk of irritation or allergic reaction.

The combination of strength, durability, environmental resistance, and user safety makes titanium alloys an ideal material for critical reinforcement components in a high-performance sling.
