Marine Fender Face Pads
UHMWPE Marine Fender Face Pads for Low-Friction Berthing Protection
Marine fender face pads are wear surfaces installed on fender panels or frames to reduce hull friction, improve abrasion resistance, and protect both the berth structure and vessel during berthing. UHMWPE is the dominant material because of its low friction, high impact strength, and strong wear resistance in heavy-duty port applications. Custom thickness, size, color, and fixing layout are offered for project-based marine systems.

Certified for Global Standards
Each batch undergoes thorough inspection on the shop floor. Raw material is tested upon arrival, as well as finished parts upon completion. Anything failing to conform to specifications is not shipped out.
ISO 9001 Quality Management
ISO 9001:2015 certification requires written processes, production control measures, and traceability of the process from initial raw material to finished part. More critically, ISO helps us maintain tolerances across multiple batches, rather than just in theory.
Food-Grade FDA Compliance
In cases of applications involving food production, only selected types of HDPE and UHMWPE materials which conform to FDA food-grade standards are used. These grades are usually utilized in cutting surfaces, guides, and wear parts.
RoHS Compliant Manufacturing
Materials comply with RoHS environmental regulations in terms of substance content restrictions. This is ensured by monitoring the components of the material, rather than the finished part.
Traceable Material Test Reports (MTR)
Material test reports available upon request include mechanical properties such as tensile strength and impact value, as well as wear information and dimensional checks.
Application Areas
Our ground protection and engineering plastic solutions are trusted across a wide range of demanding industries and environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
UHMWPE. It offers low friction, high wear resistance, and strong impact performance. There are also bonded composite constructions that combine rubber with UHMWPE.
To reduce friction between the vessel hull and the fender surface while maintaining high abrasion resistance. UHMWPE pads are a way to improve service life and reduce maintenance frequency.
Yes. Thickness, plate size, color, and project-specific requirements are commonly customized. We also supply special fixing arrangements and removable panel designs.
No. They are also used on arch fenders, special fenderracks, bridge protection, lock protection, and workboat beltings. The exact configuration depends on the berth and vessel type.
Common heights are 24 inches and 42 inches. It depends on your needs and the height can be adjusted.
Between 2 mm and 200 mm for regenerated material, and 400 mm for virgin material. Actual usable thickness depends on the fender design and specification.
Yes. They are employed to minimize hull pressure, decrease friction, and provide a durable contact surface between the vessel and structure during berthing.

Customer Feedback
Very great quality, fast delivery and people easy communication. My customer and i like this new design. A trusted supplier!
Used them on a -15°F morning for a steel erection project. Still flexible and impact-resistant with no brittle fractures. Great cold-weather performance.
