Just like nickel was. I mentioned it in the patch thread but given that the radiator hotfix didn't change this, I guess it was missed.
UltimateTensileStrength_MPa 21
YieldStrength_MPa 48

Are you should that it is UHMWPE? It should have a yield strength much more strongger than 21MPa, 3.9GPa actually IIRC.

UHMWPE was split into two materials in version 1.1.1. The regular bulk plastic with typical polyethylene strength takes the place of the old UHMWPE, and the Spectra fiber with 3.9GPa strength is now porous and can't be used for superlight propellant tanks.

For some reason I still get the ultra light UHMWPE tank... Will fix it for REALISM! |

Doesn't honeywell manufacture a non-porous composite based on the fiber though? |

fair enough. But you could make a composite out of those fibers. Interestingly enough you could make a composite with spectra fibers and a polyethylene matrix thus making a composite that contains only polyethylene. |
