UHMWPE fender (Ultra high Molecular Weight Polyethylene) is the first choice material for facing steel fender panels and other heavy duty applications. It combines very low friction with excellent impact strength and a wear resistance much better than steel.
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.
