Polyethylene has many names. The most common are HDPE, LDPE, andUHMW. The difference has to with the molecular weight and branching which is when a monomer or atom is replaced by a longer chain of polymers (a long repeating chain of atoms).
Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fender panels
fender veneers has excellent wear resistance, good low temperature impact resistance, selflubrication, nontoxic, water resistance, chemical resistance, heat resistance is superior to the general PE. Can be widely used in against impact, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, adhesion, low noise, high industrial mining areas a
护舷贴面板主要是使用在码头、港口等地区做码头和港口的防护作用，主要用来阻挡船只对码头的撞击，起到保护作用，护舷贴面板主要使用超高分子量聚乙烯板材做成，由于其特有的超高耐冲击、耐撞击能力、以及极低吸水率和强度高耐老化、耐腐蚀作用、使用时间长，注定了，超高分子量聚乙烯在护舷贴面板方面的应用。超高聚乙烯板材制作的护舷贴面板质量可靠的厂家设计的大约可以使用几年或者以上时间，当然也根据码头港口的具体情况来定。
超高分子量聚乙烯护舷板具有重量轻，抗冲击，耐磨损，耐腐蚀，抗紫外线，耐老化，摩擦系数小，可有效防止由于紫外线照射。其冲击强度是聚氯乙烯的20倍，尼龙66的10倍，聚四氟乙烯的8倍。适用性广，也可作为船舶防撞装置。反力低，面压小，吸能量合理；对船舶靠泊时的恒摇和纵摇适应性强；安装维护方便。
