Pier fender (UHMW-PE panel)
Trelleborg Marine Systems
Trelleborg FQ1000 ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) is the first choice material for facing steel fender panels and other heavy duty applications.
It combines very low friction with excellent impact strength and a wear resistance much better than steel.
Most popular is FQ1000-DS which is 'double-sintered' and work-hardened for extra durability. The standard colour is black, but if other colours are needed then FQ1000-V 'virgin' grade also comes in yellow, white, grey, blue, green and red.
FQ1000 UHMW-PE materials are compounded to resist ozone and UV radiation. They do not degrade or rot and are easily recycled at the end of their useful service life.
