UHMW PE PADS
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
FIXING METHODS
Friction Comparison
The coefficient of friction of UHMW-PE varies according to the material grade and the pressure applied to the panel surface. These coefficients of friction only apply to smooth contact surfaces.
Steel Panel with welded stud
Open Steel Structure
Timber Structure
Wear Allowances
Fixing types depends on the underlying structure. Fixings are available in different steel grades and finishes. Contact ESC for details.
Fender panels distributes reaction forces to provide low hull pressures and cope with large tidal variations. ESC recommends high quality UHMW PE Pads as the best material for heavy duty impact protection. Impact resistant and very low in friction. The UHMW Pads allows vessels to move smoothly pas t a fender system.
