The Application of UHMWPE In Shipbuilding
The Application of UHMWPE In Shipbuilding
UHMWPE is an important engineering plastic material that has attracted much attention due to its excellent performance and wide application fields. In shipbuilding, the application of UHMWPE materials has also gradually increased.
Hull lining
Using UHMWPE materials as hull linings can effectively reduce corrosion problems and have good impact resistance. UHMWPE materials have self-lubricating properties, which can reduce friction resistance with water and improve the speed and efficiency of ships.
Fenders
UHMWPE materials have high wear resistance and impact resistance, longer long-term service life, and effectively reduce maintenance costs. At the same time, UHMWPE materials are light in weight and easy to install, and will not cause additional burden on the operation of ships.
