HIGH-STRENGTH POLYETHYLENE FIBER

摘要

A high strength polyethylene filament having a tenacity of at least 15 cN/dTex, which comprises a polyethylene having a weight-average molecular weight of 300,000 or less and a ratio of a weight-average molecular weight to a number-average molecular weight (Mw/Mn) of 4.0 or less as determined in a state of the filament, and containing 0.01 to 3.0 branched chains per 1,000 backbone carbon atoms. When cut fibers are obtained by cutting the polyethylene filament, a rate of dispersion-defective fibers is 2.0% or less.
