Product Advantages 1. Wear-Resistant Surface Marine fender pad of UHMW-PE material outwear hardened steel. Cuts hour-glass wear on pilings from vertically moving "camels". 2. Nil Water Absorption. Marine fender pad of UHMW-PE material no swelling or deterioration from water permeation. 3. Chemical- and Corrosion-Resistant. Marine fender pad of UHMW-PE material withstands salt water, fuel and chemical spills. Chemically Inert does not leach chemicals into waterways, disturbing fragile ecosystems. 4. Performs in Weather Extremes. Sub-zero conditions do not degrade performance. Marine fender pad of UHMW-PE material retains key physical properties to -260 centigrade. UHMWPE material is UV-resistant, which increases wear life in seaport exposures.
