UHMW-PE fenders and sliding pads

UHMW-PE fenders and sliding pads

Orbilan is a German manufacturer of UHMW-PE (Ultra High Moleculair Weight Polyethylene). This material is commonly used for marine and port construction applications, for example:
  • low resistance sliding pads on fender panels
  • low resistance slinding panels for bridge and pier protection
  • corner protection for offshore structures, berths and other marine facilities
The panels are available in various sizes (made to order) and colours. As a result, these panels can also be used for (limited) navigational purposes.

Orbilan manufactures the UHMW-PE panels in several qualities, for example:
  • PE 1000 HT quality - regenerate (typically in black/multicoloured)
  • PE 1000 quality - virgin (available in a number of colours)
  • PE 1000 AS quality - anti static - specifically for hazardeous areas, eg LNG terminals
  • PE 1000 UV quality - UV-stabilised
  • UHMW-PE panels in 2-layers (bottom PE 500 and top PE 1000 HT
The UHMW-PE panels are always custom made, and can be supplied with countersunk holes and chamfers (as per customers specification).

The Orbilan UHMW-PE is made in accordance with the latest DIN EN ISO standards. Product specifications are available upon request.
