UHMW PE UHMWPE PE1000 UPE HDPE polyethylene durable type dock panel plastic mask marine fender face pad

polyethylene 1000 Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE, UHMW) is a subset of the thermoplastic polyethylene. Also known as high-modulus polyethylene, (HMPE), it has extremely long chains, with a molecular mass usually between 3.5 and 9.6 million amu. The longer chain serves to transfer load more effectively to the polymer backbone by strengthening inter molecular interactions. This results in a very tough material, with the highest impact strength of any thermoplastic presently made.

Features of UHMW-PE marine fender pad :
* Extremely high impact strength
* Excellent wear and abrasion resistance
* Optimal sliding properties
* Dimensional stability
* Energy absorption capacity at high loading rates
* Resistance against fatigue
* Water repellent
* Good chemical resistance
* Electrical and dielectric properties
* Physiologically harmless

UHMW-PE marine fender pad is a thermoplastic engineering plastic. It combines the advantages of all plastics, wear resistance,chemical corrosion, self-lubrication, resistance to low temperature, safe, non-toxic and odorless, etc .It is the highest numberof existing plastic varies. With the development of plastic processing technology, the application field of UHMWPE will become wider and wider.

What is uhmwpe & hdpe marine fender face pad/dock bumper?

UHMWPE & HDPE is a unique,low friction polyethylene material.The UHMWPE & HDPE possess

a low coefficient of friction which provides a smooth sliding surface for ships to trave along the fender face. Combining the benefits of higher wear resistance(even greater then steel) and lower maintenance costs,the pads are easy to fabricate,install and can be fastened to steel,concrete,wood and rubber.We can do the pads for different size,thickness,type and colors according to customer's requirement.
