1. 8.62M Molecular Weight: The Science of Impact
Standard HDPE or low-grade PE simply cannot handle the kinetic energy of a 200,000 DWT vessel. Our 8.62 million molecular weight UHMWPE offers 10x the impact toughness of steel on a weight-for-weight basis. This prevents cracking during heavy berthing operations, even in the choppy waters of the North Sea.
2. Low Friction Coefficient (μ < 0.15)
To protect ship hulls and reduce shear force on the fender structure, a low-friction surface is essential. JSLT UHMWPE pads act as a self-lubricating 'sliding plate', allowing ships to glide along the quay wall without damaging their protective coatings.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Are your fender pads UV resistant?
Yes, all marine-grade JSLT pads are double-stabilized with UV inhibitors to withstand 10+ years of direct tropical or high-latitude sun exposure.
❓ Do you provide CNC machining for mounting holes?
Absolutely. We machine counter-bored holes to your exact DWG/DXF drawings to fit SCN, SCK, or SUC fender systems perfectly.
