New ultrahigh-molecular-weight fiber offers major advantages as fabric for space suits, diving suits, sporting goods, sails, and ultralight aircraft. Polyolefin fiber has extremely high modulus of elasticity, low elongation, high specific strength, low specific gravity, resistance to chemicals, low moisture absorption, and high resistance to damage by flexure and abrasion. Consists of elongated, highly aligned, highly crystalline polyethylene molecules. Structure not only results in high strength-to-weight ratio but also gives high resistance to tearing and ripping. Fibers woven in many patterns. Offers combination of desirable properties not found in nylon, polyester, or aramid fabrics.
