Sliding strips and plates made of Polyethylene are a superior alternative to for example timber and other facing materials as a protective cover for different constructions.
HD-PE does not split or decay and is totally resistant to borers. Environmentally friendly, HD-PE can be used instead of tropical hardwoods, lasts much longer, and can be fully recycled at the end of its useful life.
Features:
● Low friction coefficient
● Resists marine borers
● High abrasion resistance
● UV and ozone resistant
● Does not rot, split or crack
● Easy to cut and drill
● 100% recyclable
They have many applications in waterway, harbour, Wharf constructions, Pontoons, Pier heads and on composite fenders. The Polyethylene is especially useful when low-friction contact during docking and mooring is needed. The Polyethylene does not decay or rot and will not easily splinter or crush.
