Product Description
Jiasheng Plastics is a leading manufacturer of UHMW-PE Marine Fender Pads (PE1000), specifically designed to protect both harbor infrastructure and vessel hulls from the forces of mooring and impact. Our fender panels are produced using premium ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene with a molecular weight exceeding 5 million g/mol. This material provides the highest impact strength of any thermoplastic, ensuring that the fender facing can absorb heavy shocks from berthing ships without cracking or permanent deformation, even in sub-zero Arctic conditions or tropical heat.
The primary advantage of our UHMW-PE fender facing is its exceptionally low coefficient of friction (0.10–0.20). This "self-lubricating" property allows ships to slide smoothly against the dock or pile during berthing and tidal movements, significantly reducing the lateral shear forces on the fender system and preventing damage to the ship's paint or hull. Unlike wood or rubber facings, UHMW-PE does not catch or grip the vessel, ensuring a safer and more predictable mooring process for captains and pilots.
Durability in the maritime environment is paramount. Our panels are 100% waterproof and chemically inert, meaning they will not rot, swell, or support marine growth like barnacles. We incorporate high-loading UV stabilizers to prevent degradation from intense sunlight, making them ideal for long-term installation on jetties, dolphins, lock gates, and bridge piers. Each panel can be custom-machined in our Dezhou factory with beveled edges, counterbored mounting holes, and curved profiles to match your specific engineering requirements.
