Unique design & pad material:

·        Attaches to most plate compactors with its universal size of

     19 inches wide x 24 inches long x 0.25 inches thick, flexible front lip and

       

     included low profile attachment clamps.

·        Allows for a quick attachment at any point during a 

     project, without slowing down the job! 

 

·        Keeps the travel speed and compaction force you need when making

     that critical final pass over the pavers and poly sand.

 

·        Relieves the stress on both the operator and the pavers.

·        Lasts for a long time because it has a high abrasion resistance and low

     coefficient of friction. 

 

·        May be cut down to fit smaller sizes.

Pad Material: 

Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE, UHMW) is a subset of the thermoplastic polyethylene. Also known as high-modulus polyethylene, (HMPE), or high-performance polyethylene (HPPE), it has extremely long chains, with a molecular mass usually between 2 and 6 million u. The longer chain serves to transfer load more effectively to the polymer backbone by strengthening intermolecular interactions. This results in a very tough material, with the highest impact strength of any thermoplastic presently made.^[1]

UHMWPE is odorless, tasteless, and nontoxic.^[2] It is highly resistant to corrosive chemicals except oxidizing acids; has extremely low moisture absorption and a very low coefficient of friction; is self-lubricating; and is highly resistant to abrasion, in some forms being 15 times more resistant to abrasion than carbon steel. Its coefficient of friction is significantly lower than that of nylon and acetal, and is comparable to that of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, Teflon), but UHMWPE has better abrasion resistance than PTFE
