Advantages of marine plastic fenders

Marine Plastic Fender Pad is mainly made of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) or High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) materials, which has significant advantages over traditional wooden, steel, and rubber fender panels. The following are its main advantages:
Ten advantages of marine plastic fender pads:

  1. Super wear resistance
    The service life is 3 to 7 times that of steel plates;
    Even in frequent berthing, humid or dusty environments, it is not easy to wear.
  2. Extremely low friction coefficient
    The hull slides smoothly when in contact with the fender;
    Effectively reduce berthing resistance and protect the ship and dock structure.
  3. Good impact resistance
    Can effectively disperse collision stress;
    Resist high-frequency berthing or heavy ship impact.
  4. Corrosion resistance, salt spray resistance, and seawater resistance
    Strong resistance to acids, alkalis, salt, seawater, oils, etc.;
    Can be used for a long time in corrosive environments such as seaports and petrochemical docks.
  5. Anti-ultraviolet and anti-aging
    It will not change color or powder even under the scorching sun;
    It has an outdoor service life of more than 10 to 15 years.
  6. Lightweight and easy to install
    The density is only about 1/7 of that of steel;
    Reduce transportation and installation costs and improve construction efficiency.
  7. No coating and maintenance required
    No anti-rust paint or paint maintenance is required;
    Almost no maintenance is required during use, saving long-term operating costs.
  8. No water absorption and anti-icing
    The material itself does not absorb water;
    It will not crack due to water absorption and freezing in a frozen environment.
  9. Environmentally friendly and non-toxic
    Does not release harmful substances;
    Can be recycled and meet the requirements of green port construction.
  10. Optional colors and customizable openings
    Common colors: black, blue, green, red;
    The size, shape and screw hole arrangement can be customized according to project requirements for easy replacement and installation.
