Polymeric Fenders For Harbour Construction
Extremely resistant materials and components are essential in Hydraulic engineering and harbour construction. Depending on the application, they may need to withstand corrosive salt water, strong UV radiation and high mechanical stresses. We offer plastics that are designed specifically for these demanding requirements.
UHMWPE Fenders:
Mounted on fender systems, sliding sheets made of Polyethylene material protects quay bulkheads and ships during mooring and harbour manoeuvring and during idle periods. The ready-to-mount sheets are characterized by high abrasion and wear resistance and are resistant to corrosion, UV radiation and weathering
Advantages:
- Long-lasting: resistant to corrosive salt water, UV radiation and weathering
- Low maintenance
- High mechanical toughness
- Low water absorption
Typical areas of application:
- Fender systems
- Harbour installations
- Lock systems
- Fish screen installations
- Sea water desalination plants
