Core Tech
Our R&D team focuses on developing ultra-high strength UHMWPE fibers and advanced protective materials for ballistic and defense applications.
From powder to fiber
At DHS Innotech, we produce our own UHMWPE powder, enabling molecular engineering and control at the polymer stage. This allows us precisely enhance and regulate fiber strength—positioning DHS as a leading provider of the strongest synthetic fibers on the market.
Next, the powder is dissolved and heated through an extruder. Using our proprietary gel-spinning process, the polymer chains are stretched and aligned. The heated material is then pushed through a plate with hundreds of tiny holes—this is where the molecular strands begin to take on a fiber-like structure. This marks the beginning of high-strength DHS fiber.
From fiber to fabrics
Before UHMWPE fibers can be used in protective applications, they must first be transformed into unidirectional (UD) fabric. In this process, the fibers are laid out in parallel, impregnated with a water-based resin, and then dried.
Once dried, the fibers are fed into a cross-layering machine, where they are formed into thin sheets. A second sheet is then layered on top and compressed . Each roll of DHS UD fabric typically consists of four to six layers of independently processed unidirectional fiber sheets, delivering exceptional strength and durability.
Depending on the end-use requirements, different resins can be applied between layers to enhance specific performance characteristics.
From fabrics to versatile applications
Our UHMWPE fibers are adaptable for various applications in daily life and industry. By weaving, knitting, or laminating with other materials, we create diverse high-strength fabrics such as woven cloth and unidirectional (UD) fabrics.
These composite fabrics serve as the foundation for a wide range of products from protective gloves to automotive defense gear. DHS primarily supplies finished fabrics, making it easy for customers to integrate them into various types of reinforced protective equipment.
