Industry Overview

Marine environments demand materials that resist saltwater corrosion, UV degradation, biological fouling, and severe impact. UHMWPE absorbs essentially zero water (<0.01%), provides cushioning impact protection for ship and dock, and outperforms steel and rubber alternatives. JSLT supplies marine fender face pads, dock bumper sections, ship hull rub strips, and offshore platform wear pads to ports and shipyards across 50+ countries.

Key Applications in Marine Industry

JSLT supplies the following engineering plastic products for marine industry operations:

Marine Fender Face Pads

Frequently Asked Questions - Marine Industry

Are JSLT marine products DNV-GL approved?

Yes - our UHMWPE marine grade is DNV-GL type-approved (Type Approval Certificate available on request). Used in classed vessels and certified port projects worldwide.

What are the standard sizes for marine fender face pads?

Most common: 1000x1500x80mm (medium ports), 1500x2000x100mm (heavy berths), 600x1000x60mm (smaller boats). Custom sizes up to 2000x4000mm available.

Does UHMWPE resist marine biofouling?

UHMWPE has very low surface energy, which inhibits biological adhesion. Some fouling occurs but cleans off easily with water jet. Not a true antifouling material.

What is the UV life of black UHMWPE in marine service?

15-20+ years in temperate climates, 10-15 years in equatorial high-UV regions. Black UHMWPE contains 2.5% carbon black for UV protection.

Can you supply pre-drilled mounting holes?

Yes - send your mounting flange drawing. Standard hole patterns include M16/M20/M24 countersunk holes at 200-400mm spacing.

How are marine fender pads attached?

Bolted (most common) with countersunk M16-M24 hex bolts and washers. Threaded inserts for blind-side mounting available. Bonding (epoxy) used for small fender pads.
