POLYSLICK FENDER PADS
- Chemical Family
- PolyethylenesPolyolefins
POLYSLICK FENDER PADS fender facings bolted or bonded to a fender front creates an unbreakable, low friction shield which protects surfaces from impact and abrasion. UHMW can be designed into the construction of new fendering structures, enduring continuous impact and rubbing, prolonged ultra violet light exposure, wide temperature variations, salt and chemical contact. UHMW fenders can be made of UHMW, crosslinked UHMW, or reprocessed UHMW. Our Custom Fenders can be fabricated, heat or cold formed to customer specifications.
