1. Key Mechanical Properties for Marine Facing Plates
Our virgin PE1000 grade exhibits a self-lubricating surface with a dynamic friction coefficient below 0.12 against marine coatings. This ensures smooth vessel sliding along the quay wall during tidal movements and wave action, virtually eliminating paint abrasion on ship hulls.

2. Precision CNC Chamfering & Counterbore Geometry
To avoid snagging vessel hulls and protect fastening hardware, JSLT uses 5-axis CNC machining to fabricate 45° edge chamfers and deep counterbores. Every bolt recess is machined to exact drawing tolerances (±0.2mm), allowing marine fasteners (316 stainless steel or galvanized studs) to sit recessed beneath the working surface.
