Product Description

Product Description

Polyceramoplast pads for dock fenders reduce friction in the hull/fender pair, thereby minimizing damage to the ship's hull. 
They are manufactured from modified HDPE (PE500) and UHMWPE (PE1000 / PE9000).
 
Even without light stabilization, UHMWPE degrades extremely slowly under UV radiation: no more than 1 mm per year. 
Full corrosion resistance in seawater. 
Density ~0.94–0.96 g/cm³ (buoyant; the pad remains on the surface if dropped into water). 
Highest wear resistance among commercial plastics (widely used as lining in ore concentrators). 
Environmentally safe and biologically inert; combustion produces only carbon, carbon dioxide, and water vapor.
 
Key grade differences:
 
HDPE / PE500 — higher tensile, bending, and compressive strength; resistant to shear loads and detachment from fastenings during mooring.
UHMWPE / PE1000 / PE9000 — low coefficient of friction and enhanced wear resistance; optimal for applications involving mainly sliding contact with the ship's hull at the dock.

Company Profile

Shenyang Gelar Composite Materials Co., Ltd. is a joint venture invested by the Europe-based Gelar group, utilizing advanced European technologies and specializing in the R&D, production and sales of high-performance engineering plastics. As the manufacturing base of the European enterprise in China, we produce high-quality products by advanced production equipment, strict quality control system and continuous R&D capability. Our "polyceramoplast™"product series are composite materials manufactured from ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and modified additives through modification technologies. Among them, the polyceramoplast™ α,β,γ series—polyceramic composites—benefit from unique production technology and specialized equipment, significantly enhancing the modified properties of UHMWPE to achieve superior wear resistance and anti-adhesion performance. 

Gelar aim to become a world-leading high-performance engineering plastics and composite materials manufacturer.

FAQ

Q: 
Procedure for Establishing the Product Warranty Period (Policy)?
A:
Typically, we provide a warranty that the material complies with the specifications outlined in the technical data sheet (wear resistance, tensile strength, impact toughness, etc.)—this can be considered the policy and the primary aspect of the warranty.

In individual cases, we offer a warranty on the performance of the lining or product within a specific unit/mechanism (for example, a "turnkey" bucket)—for up to 1 year. The decision is made based on a completed questionnaire.
