Catalog excerpts
UHMW-PE Maritime International faces all of its complete fender panel systems with high quality UHMW-PE face pads. The UHMW-PE possesses a low coefficient of friction which provides a smooth sliding surface for the vessel to travel along the fender face. Maritime International’s UHMW-PE comes in many colors and thicknesses per project requirements and can also be provided in a re-processed grade for a more economical solution. UHMW-PE can also be supplied in stand-alone applications not related to rubber fenders such as sliding surfaces that do not require any energy absorption. © 2013 Maritime International - All rights reserved.
