Accessories – UHMW PE Plastic Sheet for Marine Fender Panel
UHMW PE plastic sheet is a key component of marine fender panels. The sheet is fixed to the steel panel using M16, M20 SUS304 or SUS316 bolts.
UHMW PE plastic is a super durable material with an extremely low friction coefficient, excellent self-lubrication, and outstanding wear resistance. It resists ozone, chemicals, and harsh environments, while remaining stable under UV exposure. With a temperature resistance from -100°C to +80°C, UHMW PE plastic sheet is an ideal solution for industrial and mechanical applications, helping to reduce friction and extend equipment lifespan. This material is also easy to fabricate and 100% recyclable.

Main Features of UHMW PE Plastic Sheet
1. Excellent Wear Resistance:
• With a friction coefficient of only 0.2, UHMW PE sheet has much higher abrasion resistance than steel and other plastics, significantly extending service life.
2. High Impact Strength:
• Can absorb heavy impact without cracking, even at low temperatures.
3. Low Friction Surface:
• Smooth surface reduces drag and prevents sticking, highly effective in sliding systems or conveyors.
4. Chemical & Corrosion Resistance:
• Resistant to acids, solvents, and harsh chemicals, making it ideal for offshore and marine environments.
5. Waterproof:
• 100% water resistant, does not blister or deform under long-term water exposure.
6. Weather & Temperature Resistance:
• Stable from -100°C to +80°C, maintaining mechanical properties in extreme conditions.
Applications of UHMW PE Plastic Sheet
1. Marine & Port Industry:
• Fender panel pads: UHMW PE sheets are commonly used as facing pads in marine fender systems, thanks to their wear resistance and low friction.
• Floating pontoons & vessel protection: Reduce friction when ships berth, preventing hull scratches.
2. Industrial:
• Conveyor & material handling: Smooth UHMW PE sheets minimize friction, prevent sticking, and increase operational efficiency.
• Machinery components: Used for gears, rollers, and liners that require high wear resistance.
3. Transportation & Construction:
• Truck bed & container lining: Helps cargo slide easily while preventing damage.
• Bridge & rail structures: Works as a shock-absorbing, anti-corrosion layer.
4. Medical & Food Industry:
• Safe and non-toxic, UHMW PE is used in medical instruments and food processing equipment.
Available Sizes & Product Options
• Thickness: 5mm – 100mm
• Standard sizes: 1000mm x 2000mm, 1220mm x 2440mm, or custom-made
• Colors: White and black are most common, with optional green, red, or yellow for specific uses
Benefits of UHMW PE Plastic Sheet
1. Longer Equipment Lifespan:
• Outstanding wear resistance reduces maintenance frequency and replacement costs.
2. Higher Operational Efficiency:
• Low friction improves transportation systems and saves energy.
3. Eco-Friendly & Safe:
• Non-toxic and 100% recyclable, meeting environmental standards.
Storage & Usage Notes
1. Store in a dry place:
• Avoid long-term direct sunlight to prevent aging.
2. Avoid excessive heat:
• Although UHMW PE withstands heat, do not expose it to >80°C to ensure durability.
3. Regular inspection:
• For heavy-duty or harsh applications, check periodically for early damage signs.
UHMW PE plastic sheet is highly favored for its superior mechanical properties and durability across different industries. Especially in marine and port applications, UHMW PE sheets play a vital role in protecting equipment and improving efficiency.
