PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
The UHMWPE fender is a unique product of wharf and port, which primarily decreases the shear force on the fender and extends its service life when ships berth at the shore. Large ports and wharves are used now, and the essential thing is to utilize the fender panel with reasonable wear resistance and impact resistance.
UHMWPE fenders demonstrate expertise as marine protection tools through their exceptional combination of strength and impact resistance, together with their low friction characteristics. The harsh marine conditions do not affect these durable fenders because they feature the superior strength of UHMWPE compared to existing rubber and timber options.
The excellent resistance of UHMWPE fenders protects them from UV rays in addition to chemicals and corrosion while requiring minimal maintenance. Vessels experience minimized wear because of their low-friction surface, which makes these products excellent for port facilities, piers, and offshore installations. Absolute durability and light weight are two features of this material that enable it to absorb energy effectively while protecting both ships and marine structures from harm.
Industry-Specific Names
Marine fenders play a critical role in protecting boats, docks, and harbors. They’re often referred to as dock fenders, boat fenders, or rubber marine bumpers. Other common names include wharf fenders, vessel fenders, port fenders, ship fenders, and marine dock bumpers. These fenders act as a cushion between vessels and dock structures, reducing the risk of damage during mooring or docking operations.
Where should be applied the UHMWPE Fender Facing Pad:
- 1. Marine & Jetty fenders front panel
- 2. Quay wall protection
- 3. High-speed conveyors
- 4. Bumpers
- 5. Pile guards
- 6. Wear Strips
- 7. Guide rails
What Makes UHMWPE Fenders Special?
The unique properties of UHMWPE fenders include strong material construction combined with little resistance and powerful impact protection. These fenders stay corrosion-free and hold up well against both sunlight and weight, so marine areas need no other protection. These fenders need low upkeep while giving extended durability to shield vessels effectively at reduced berthing costs—the company Diode Trading EST supplies UHMWPE fenders that perform effectively in marine safety applications.
Fenders
A fender is a bumper designed to absorb the kinetic energy of a vessel or a boat when berthing against a jetty, quay wall, or another ship. Fenders help prevent damage to boats, vessels, and berthing structures. They are usually made from rubber, foam, elastomer, or plastic. Rubber fenders are typically produced either by extrusion or by molding.
A suitable fender for a specific application depends on several factors, including the vessel’s dimensions and displacements, tidal variations, the maximum allowable stand-off distance, and the berthing structure.
The fender unit’s size is based on the vessel’s berthing energy. The energy of the berthing ship is related to the square of the berthing velocity. Marine fenders are used at docks on quay walls, ports, and other berthing structures. These fenders absorb the kinetic energy of a berthing vessel, thereby preventing damage to the ship or the berthing structure.
Floating fenders, such as elastomer and pneumatic fenders, are used for bunkering operations between two vessels. The fenders typically used on tugboats, recreational boats, ferries, passenger vessels, naval vessels, and luxury boats are boat fenders. These fenders are available in various types, including square fenders, ‘D’ fenders, keyhole fenders, and wing fenders.
D-D Type Fenders
D-D type fenders, also known as extruded D-fenders, are rubber profiles that are attached to the structure with bolts. Extrusions can be performed virtually to any length. Extrusions can be manufactured in almost any length, then cut and drilled to suit specific applications. Pre-curved sections and custom sizes are available upon request.
Applications
D-D type fenders are used in various applications, including jetties, Pontoon protection, Tugs and workboats, Inland waterways, and general-purpose fendering.

UHMW-PE- Rubber Fenders
UHMW-PE–Rubber fenders are produced using advanced molecular bonding technology, combining the energy-absorbing properties of rubber fenders with the low-friction advantages of a polyethylene surface.
Key Benefits
The UHMW-PE face provides a low-friction, hard-wearing, and durable contact surface. The rubber elements are manufactured from marine-grade compounds, offering high resistance to ozone degradation, UV radiation, and waterborne oil pollution.
Applications
UHMW-PE–Rubber fenders are ideal for most side fendering and guiding applications, especially where a simple extruded fender with low shear forces is required. Their low-friction properties reduce wear on the fender and the vessel. These fenders are well-suited for quay structures in tidal areas, allowing ships to rise and fall with the tide without causing damage to the fender.
