Ultra High Molecular weight polyethylene, it is commonly abbreviate UHMWPE, is a subset of thermoplastic engineering plastic, it has extremely long chains with a molecular mass usually between 2-6 million.
UHMWPE retains key physical properties and high impact strength,even at low temperatures down to -200°C. This excellent general purpose plastic with self lubricating properties offers noise reduction and low friction surface.
Standard size:
5040x1330mm, 4730x1230mm, 3050x1220mm, 6050x1820mm, 3030x1550mm,
4520x2000mm, 3050x3050mm, 2000x1000mm, 6000x2000mm.
Thickness can be made 6-300mm.
Other size can be made according to the customized requests.
The properties of UHMWPE:
Extrmely hard wearing, with a low friction coefficient and high abrasino resistance, provides a smooth sliding surface for vessels to travle along the fender face.
* Superior impact resistanct
* High abrasion resistance
* Low co-efficient of friction
* Excellent surface release properties
* Good chemical resistance
* Excellent UV stability
* Temperature resistant (-80℃ to +80 ℃)
* No moisture absorption
* Can be supplied pre-drilled for easy installation and chamfreed to avoid snagging
