What is a Foam Filled Fender

Oct 31, 2022

Foam-filled fenders (or balls) are marine supplies for berthing buffering and protection, which are used in ships, offshore facilities, offshore platforms, port terminals, yachts and other fields. As a buffer medium for ship-to-ship berthing STS (ship and ship) and ship-to-dock berthing STD (ship and dock), foam-filled fenders can absorb the impact energy of ship motion, reduce the recoil force of ships, and greatly reduce the recoil of ships. Improve the safety of ship berthing.

The foam-filled fender has the same structural technology as the inflatable rubber ball, but the foam-filled fender is a solid fender with a closed-cell polyethylene foam core, and the surface of the fender is sprayed with polyurethane elastomer. Polyethylene foam absorbs impact effectively, while the outer layer of polyurethane resists friction and tearing from harsh external environments.

The product is made of environmentally friendly materials and new polymer materials with adjustable high elastic modulus. The appearance adopts a new type of spray polyurethane (polyurea) elastomer technology developed in recent years, which can effectively increase the elasticity of the product and resist corrosion such as seawater. sex. The product can be used alone or in combination with other protective products. Have a feature of high strength, high elasticity, high adhesion and maximum anti-penetration, anti-aging properties.

 Advantages of Solid Polyurethane Floating Fenders

1. With floating performance, the installation position is not affected by the tide difference.

2. No need to check in use, no inflation, no scratching, no friction, seawater resistance, acid and alkali resistance.

3. Long service life, up to 10-15 years.

4. Maintenance free.

5. No blasting, high safety.

6. It has better energy absorption performance and lower reaction force performance. When the compression is 60%, the reaction force is obvious from small to large, and the energy absorption is extremely high.

7. Specifications can be customized according to customer needs, and the specifications can be the largest among ship fenders.

8. The appearance of the fender can be selected in various colors, the product is smooth and beautiful, and the logo is obvious.

9. The chain is used for hanging, which is simple to install and easy to move. The chain tire net can be freely selected to increase the service life of the fender.

We have obtained CCS, BV, GL, ABS and other classification societies certification to meet the needs of all customers.
