Foam Fenders - Alternatives to Pneumatic Fenders
Foam fenders, also known as foam filled floating fenders, are strong, durable and ideal for vessel protection. Compare to traditional pneumatic fender, this one has a better performance in that once the skin of a foam fender gets punctured, it will not deflate and lose its function as the pneumatic fenders do.
Composition:
- Closed-cell polyethylene foam core - high density 100% closed-cell foam core with superb energy absorption and low reaction force. Meanwhile, it is lightweight and not easy to rupture.
- Filament reinforcement refers to continuous nylon filaments used to maximize the strength, toughness and durability of foam fenders.
- Polyurethane skins are used to protect fenders taking advantages of excellent properties over rubber, such as high durability, lower friction and lower specific gravity. Additionally, it is non-marking and available in various colors.
- Internal chain system refers to heavy duty internal chains which used to transmit tensile loads by means of connecting end swivel structures together.
Applications:
- Tugboats.
- Workboats.
- Navy berths.
- Oil and gas tankers.
- Ship to ship transfer.
- Rescue boats.
- Bulk cargo.
- Cruise ships.
- Pilot boats.
