UHMW-PE face pads panels are equipped with steel frontal panels and marine rubber fenders to protect ships. UHMW-PE face pads panels are made of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene, featuring high strength, excellent flexibility, and water resistance.
PE face pads are designed for rubber cell fenders, cone fenders, arch fenders, and more. They significantly reduce friction between marine rubber fenders and vessels, thereby providing a longer lifespan for the marine rubber fendering system.
UHMW-PE is the strongest and toughest of all polyethylene grades for marine applications, successfully utilized to support numerous global projects.
Profiles on quay walls, rubbing blocks to cover wood and rubber.
Fender pads and blocks designed for heavy-duty dock protection.
Wall fenders to protect dredges from impact caused by barges.
Rubbing/wear strips and low friction bushings (recommended for low to medium loads only).
Fenders, wear pads, and slides for structural protection.
Wear pads where the dock meets pillage, bearings for pivots, fenders, and slides.
UHMWPE Flat Fender Pad, UHMWPE Corner Fender Pad, and UHMWPE Edge Fender Pad are all available through comprehensive OEM services. Dimensions, sizes, and colors can be customized to match your exact requests.
