Project Description
UHMWPE Fender Facing Pad
Impact resistant UHMWPE sliding panel , UHMWPE plastic marine fender front pad , UHMWPE marine dock bumper
What is the UHMWPE material:
UHMW is an Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene with a molecular weight between 5 and 9 million, which is also commonly referred as UHMW, or UHMWPE.
UHMWPE Advantages:
- Self-lubricating and very low coefficient of friction;
- Excellent chemical & corrosion resistant;
- Stable chemical property and can endure the corrosion of all kind of corrosive medium and organic solvent in a certain range of temperature and humidity;
- Superior impact resistant, noise-absorption and vibration-absorption;
- Low water absorption <0.01% water absorption and not affected by temperature.
- Temperature range: -269℃~+85℃;
- Light, anti-impact, corrosion resistance, anti-ultraviolet ray, aging resistance, low friction, non-pollution, which is a good material for rubber fender face pad.
Where is the UHMWPE Fender Facing Pad applicable for:
- Marine & Jetty fenders front panel
- Quay wall protection
- Belting for barges, tugboats & supply vessels
- High-speed conveyors
- Bumpers
- Pile guards
- Wear Strips
- Guide rails
