Rubber Fenders with uhmwpe plate offer enhanced durability and reduced friction. The UHMW PE surface minimizes wear and tear on both the fender and vessel, ensuring long-lasting performance. Ideal for high-impact marine environments, these fenders provide reliable protection and easy maintenance.
Our high-performance fender systems integrate premium grade Rubber with Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) facing pads to ensure maximum durability. Below are the standard technical parameters and customization options available for international marine projects.
1. UHMW-PE Facing Pad Properties
The frontal pads are the primary contact point for vessel hulls. We use virgin UHMW-PE material to guarantee a low friction coefficient and high impact strength.
2. Dimensional & Design Specifications
We offer a wide range of thicknesses and configurations to suit different berthing energy requirements.
Standard Thickness: 10mm, 20mm, 30mm, 40mm, 50mm, up to 100mm.
Edge Design:Beveled edges (45° or 30° chamfer) are standard to prevent "snagging" by vessel protrusions (e.g., beltings or bolt heads).
Fixing System: Recessed fixing holes for M20–M48 galvanized or stainless steel (SS316) bolts, ensuring the bolt head is safely below the sliding surface.
3. High-Visibility Color Options
Colors serve as critical visual markers for pilots and captains during the final approach to the berth.
Features of Rubber Fender With UHMW PE Plate
Ultra-Low Friction Coefficient (0.1–0.2): The sliding surface significantly reduces friction during vessel berthing, preventing "hull grab" and minimizing shear stress on the fender body.
Superior Wear Resistance: UHMW-PE is renowned for its exceptional abrasion resistance, outlasting traditional steel or timber facings in harsh saltwater environments.
High Energy Absorption & Low Reaction Force:The underlying rubber core absorbs massive kinetic energy while maintaining a low reaction force to protect vessel hulls.
Non-Marking & Chemically Inert:The PE plate does not leave black rubber marks on white hulls and is resistant to UV radiation, ozone, and chemical corrosion.
Impact Strength: High notched impact strength ensures the plates won't crack or shatter under extreme cold or sudden heavy impacts.
Applications of Rubber Fender With UHMW PE Plate
Bulk Cargo & Container Terminals:Ideal for high-frequency berthing where durability is paramount.
Ferry & Ro-Ro Terminals: Smooth sliding surfaces facilitate the quick and safe docking of passenger vessels.
Oil & Gas Jetties:Provides spark-resistant, low-friction protection for sensitive berthing operations.
Canal Entrances & Lock Walls:Perfect for guiding structures where continuous rubbing occurs.
Bridge & Pier Protection: Shields concrete structures from accidental vessel drifting.
