UHMWPE Marine Fender

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene(UHMWPE) dock fender could avoid the impact damage between ships and dock. Because of the high impact resistance performance, UHMWPE dock fender instead of the traditional steel ones is widely used in ports and docks at home and abroad.
Our UHMW PE-1000 marine fenders are made from virgin uhmwpe material, which is much superior to wood and rubber in building marine constructions or coastal protective structures. UHMW PE-1000 marine fenders allow vessels to glide easily along the surface, protecting hulls and dock structures. Impervious to marine bore worms with minimum cleaning.

Advantages and main features of UHMWPE Pads:

-Highest wear resistance of all polymers, six times that of steel -Weather and aging resistance

- Self-lubricating, very low coefficient of friction

- Excellent chemical resistance

- Excellent impact resistance, noise

- Absorption, vibration absorption

-Temperature range: -2600C+800C; very good cold resistance, it will not become brittle even at -1800C.

- High tensile strength

– Non-toxic and odorless

– UV resistant – flame retardant; relatively low water absorption

- Excellent electrical properties

- Good resistance to environmental stress cracking, 200 times that of ordinary PE - no adhesion

- Lightweight and easy to handle and fix - Cost effective; reduces energy consumption

-Won't rot, split or crack; 100% recyclable

- Abrasion resistant self-lubricating lining material for industrial material handling applications

- easy to rework

High molecular weight polyethylene UHMWPE shipyard fender fender veneer Pads performance:

The fenders are swollen from the stern to the ship within a certain length, and the side shells within the vertical range of the freeboard deck are made of 20mm steel fenders to prevent the hull side shells from colliding during berthing or mooring destroy.

High molecular weight polyethylene fenders have light weight, impact resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, aging resistance, small friction coefficient, and can prevent UV radiation. Its impact strength is 20 times that of polyvinyl chloride, 10 times that of nylon 66, and 8 times that of polytetrafluoroethylene. It has wide applicability and can also be used as a ship anti-collision device. Low reaction force, small surface pressure, reasonable energy absorption; strong adaptability to constant and pitching of ships when berthing; easy installation and maintenance.
