Engineering comparison covering performance, cost, fabrication and service life from JSLT Marine field data.
| Property | Option A | Option B |
|---|---|---|
| Density g/cm³ | Per material datasheet | Per material datasheet |
| Friction coefficient | 0.10 – 0.20 (UHMWPE) | 0.20 – 0.40 (alt) |
| Service temperature | -200 to +80 °C | Per spec |
| Abrasion resistance | Excellent (UHMWPE benchmark) | Moderate |
| Joining | Mechanical fastening / counter-bored bolting | Application-specific |
| Typical service life | 5 – 10 years field-proven | 2 – 5 years |
| Cost trend | Higher unit cost, lower TCO | Lower unit cost, higher replacement cycle |
For most heavy-abrasion applications JSLT Marine recommends UHMWPE PE1000 due to lowest friction coefficient and longest field service life. For lower-cost projects with shorter service requirements, HDPE PE500 is acceptable. PA6 / PA66 are preferred where ambient or contact temperature exceeds 80 °C. POM is preferred where dimensional precision is critical.
All UHMWPE and HDPE products from JSLT Marine are joined by mechanical fastening — counter-bored bolting, T-bolt capture, tongue-and-groove, fillet plates, or adhesive bonding. We do not rely on heat-fusion for structural integrity; mechanical fastening with stainless hardware delivers proven multi-year field life.
