How UHMWPE Panels are used with rubber fender Video
UHMWPE panel is also called PE pad, face pad, and plastic pad in some areas. Generally, the UHMWPE panel set in front of the steel panel. Nanjing Deers’s UHMW-PE can lower friction factor between vessel and fender, lower the shear strength while vessel berthing, and raise the utility of fender life.
Advantage of the UHMWPE panel
We all know the marine fender system includes the fender body, steel panel with PE panel, and other accessories. PE panels are mounted in the front of marine rubber fenders to reduce the force between ship hull and fenders, and expanse the service life of the rubber fenders.
UHMW PE is the best choice material for facing steel panels. This is principally because the UHMWPE is very light, extremely tough, and has excellent wear resistance, so the UHMW-PE pad possesses a low coefficient of friction which provides a smooth sliding surface for vessels to travel along the fender face.
As shown below, colors are available, such as blue, yellow, black, red, and so on.
