UHMWPE Sliding marine fender pads features

uhmwpe material used on marine fender advantages

The UHMWPE dock fenders is in a good appearance outside , which can protect ships from strong winds and waves. Standing on the coastline, it has become a beautiful landscape.

Firstly, in the case of reverse force, the fender veneer increases the deformation range by 13%, and the fender manufacturer has also increased its moisture absorption function by 20%. The absorption capacity (KN-M) has been increased from the original 167 to 200. The water absorption capacity has been increased by 18%.

In the calendered fender series, the energy absorbed per unit weight increased by about 20%.

Secondly, the front edge of the fender veneer is equipped with an anti-scouring steel frame, which greatly reduces the surface pressure next to the ship. According to the needs, the surface pressure can reach 26 tons/m2, which is especially suitable for large ships to berth. Due to the high energy absorption per unit reverse force, it is particularly suitable for offshore wharves, especially pier wharves.

The third point is that PE panels can be installed in front of the fender panel to reduce the friction coefficient and greatly reduce the berthing shear force.

The high-performance dock fender can prevent damage caused by the collision between the ship and the dock. It has good impact resistance. The uhmwpe dock fender replaces the traditional steel fender. It has a separate fender and a rubber compound. Use of major ports.

UHMW PE Marine Fender Facing Pad is A Durable and Cost-Effective Solution for Dock Protection

Marine fenders are devices that protect ships and docks from damage caused by collisions or abrasions. They are usually made of rubber, steel or wood, and are installed on the sides of docks or piers. However, these materials can wear out over time due to exposure to seawater, UV rays, corrosion and impact forces. This can reduce the effectiveness of the fenders and increase the maintenance costs.

One way to extend the lifespan and performance of marine fenders is to use UHMW PE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) facing pads. These are thin sheets of plastic that are attached to the surface of the fenders, creating a smooth and low-friction contact area with the ship's hull. UHMW PE is a thermoplastic material that has many advantages over other materials for marine applications.

Features and benefits

- High abrasion resistance: UHMW PE has a very low coefficient of friction, which means it can withstand repeated rubbing or sliding without wearing out. It also has a high impact strength, which means it can absorb shock and vibration without cracking or breaking.

- High corrosion resistance: UHMW PE is resistant to seawater, chemicals, acids and alkalis. It does not rust or corrode like metal or wood, and it does not degrade or rot like rubber. It can also withstand extreme temperatures from -269°C to +80°C without losing its properties.

- High UV resistance: UHMW PE is stable under sunlight and does not fade or discolor like other plastics. It also does not absorb water or moisture, which can cause swelling or shrinking in other materials.

- Low maintenance: UHMW PE marine fender facing pads do not require painting, coating or lubrication. They are easy to clean with water or detergent, and they do not harbor bacteria or algae growth. They also have a long service life of up to 20 years with minimal wear and tear.

- Low cost: UHMW PE marine fender facing pads are more economical than replacing worn-out fenders or repairing damaged docks. They also reduce the fuel consumption and emissions of ships by reducing the drag force during berthing.

Colors

UHMW PE marine fender facing pads come in various colors such as black, white, blue, green, red and yellow. They can also be customized in different sizes and shapes according to the specifications of the dock or ship owner. They can be easily installed on existing fenders using bolts, screws or adhesives.

UHMW PE marine fender facing pads are a durable and cost-effective solution for dock protection that can enhance the safety and efficiency of maritime operations. They are widely used in ports, harbors, terminals, shipyards and offshore platforms around the world.
