Fishing boat yacht use gray foam filled fender

Polyurethane foam fender is a kind of constructive fender with polyurethane materials as its outer protective layer and polyethylene or plastic foam core forming the resilient inner part. Through compressive deformation to absorb impacting energy of the ship when using. So that it can reduce destructive effect to the pier and the ship.

The EVA foam fenders are constructed of three parts each providing an important function in the construction and lifespan of the fender. The three parts are (1) The closed cell polyurethane foam. (2) Outer nylon cord fabrics. (3) Polyurea spraying coat.

(1) Foam Core
The closed cell polyurethane foam core used inside offers un-sink ability during operation.

(2) Outer Nylon Cord Fabrics
The outer nylon cord fabrics is specifically designed to seal polyurethane foam inside ability during operation.

(3) Polyurea Spraying Coating
Polyurea coating is permanent spray on coatings that protect the surface of fender body. It is more durable than rubber and flexible in all  weather conditions: no softening in heat or becoming brittle in cold. Dent, scratch and chemical resistant.

1.Tankers, Gas Carriers and Bulk Cargo Ships
2. Fast ferries and aluminum hulled vessels
3. Temporary of permanent installations;
4.Rapid response and emergency fendering
5. As stand-off fenders to realign ships with shore facilities.

1.Reinforced elastomer skin
EVA foam filled fenders have a nylon filament reinforced polyurethane skin which has excellent resistance to water,
oil, ice, strong sunlight and abrasive surface. It remains flexible even at -40°C (-40°F) making it suitable for Tropical or Arctic operations.

2.Energy absorbing
The EVA foam filled fender absorbs impact energy so colliding vessels will not damage the buoy or themselves.

3.Unsinkable foam
Only closed-cell foams are used in EVA foam filled fenders. The micro-bubble matrix of the foam means it does not absorb water even if cut or damaged. This makes EVA foam filled fenders impossible to sink.

4.Permanent colors
The poly urea skin is pigmented through its entire thickness, so colors will not wear off and will never need repainting. A wide choice of bright colors can help improve safety and identification.

1. Good floatability makes the installation site not affected by tidal range.
2. Non-pneumatic operation, free from scratch and fiction,seawater corrosion resistance and high salt-alkalia tolerance, longer service life up to 15 years without regular maintenance.
3. Higher safety factor, free from explosion risk.
