The invention relates to a treated HPPE yarn characterized in that the treated HPPE yarn comprises: elemental metal; the elemental metal forms a layer that adheres to the surface of the HPPE yarn and covers at least partly the surface of the HPPE yarn, wherein the elemental metal is deposited to the outer surface of a HPPE yarn via sputtering, preferably plasma sputtering. The invention further relates to an article comprising the treated HPPE yarn, a device comprising the treated HPPE yarn or the article. The invention also relates to a process for preparing the treated HPPE yarn or treated HPPE yarn structure or treated HPPE yarn configuration and use of the treated HPPE yarn or an article or a device comprising the treated HPPE yarn for automotive applications, marine applications, aerospace applications, medical applications, defense applications, sports/recreational applications, architectural applications, clothing applications, bottling applications, machinery applications.
