Ship Docking Protection Polyurethane Foam Fender
Foam filled fender is the perfect solution for storm conditions,
having the potential to outperform pneumatic units during severe
weather.
Foam Filled Fenders are versatile, robust and suitable for almost
all applications. The manufacturing process allows for virtually
any size of fender to be constructed and selecting the appropriate
grade of foam core and elastomeric skin means the performance of a
fender can be precisely gauged to meet specific specification
requirements.Characteristically Foam Filled Fenders have a high
energy absorption compared to their reactive load meaning they are
ideal for existing structures and certain hull types such as
catamarans and cruise ships
Construction of Florescence Foam Filled Fender
Foam Filled Fender is a kind of constructive fender with polyurea
materials as its outer protective layer and EVA foam core forming
the resilient inner part.
Our Foam Filled 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 EVA foam. (2)
Outer rubber + nylon cord fabrics. (3) Polyurea spraying coat.
Foam Core
The closed cell EVA foam core used inside offers un-sink ability
during operation.
Outer Rubber + Nylon Cord Fabrics
The outer rubber + nylon cord fabrics is specifically designed to
seal EVA foam inside and to prevent any leakage.
Polyurea Spraying Coating
Polyurea coating is permanent spray on coatings that protect the
surface of fender body. It is more durable than rubberand
flexible in all weather conditions; no softening in heat or
becoming brittle in cold. Dent, scratch and chemical resistant
Range
500mm diameter to 4500mm diameter in 1000mm length to 12000mm
length based on type and application.
Custom sizes can also be manufactured.

Features of foam fender
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.
Advantages of foam fender
1. Having the capability of floating, not easily influenced by the
ebb and flow of the tide.
2. Bright colors. Various colors are offered according to the
customers' demands.
3. Compared with inflatable fender, it boasts the characteristics
of safety and maintenance-free with working life as long as 10 to
15 years, wanting no inflating, resistant to scratching, pricking,
friction, sea water, acid and alkali.
4. Solid but light, easy to install and move.
5. When compressed to 60%, reaction force grows obviously from
little to largeness, and energy absorption is very high.
