MARINE FENDER FACE PAD:
Maritime International faces all of its complete fender panel systems with high quality UHMW-PE face pads. The UHMW-PE possesses a low coefficient of friction which provides a smooth sliding surface for the vessel to travel along the fender face. UHMW-PE comes in many colors and thicknesses per project requirements and also can be provided in a re-processed grade for a more economical solution. UHMW-PE can also be supplied in stand-alone applications not related to rubber fenders, for sliding surfaces that do not require any energy absorption.
The main characteristics of UHMWPE/HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) Grade are:
•Tough
•Very low water absorption
•Good sliding properties
•Resistant to dilute acids, cleaning agents, numerous solvents
•Very good electrical insulation
•Difficult to bond
•Easily welded
•Low density
