UHWM PE face pads are equipped with steel frontal panels and marine rubber fenders to protect ships. UHWM PE face pads are made into ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, with high strength, good flexibility and water resistance.
Applications of UHMWPE fender pads : Bridge, Marina, Pier, Vessel, Platform, Industrial, Bridge buttress protection, Beltings on workboats and Other.
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.
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;
