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.
Installation
Netless fenders are designed for easy installation. Their buoyant
construction allows the option of a floating installation. The
unique end fittings and ultra heavy duty internal chain are also
ideal for a
fixed hanging installation. Both installations can include a
2-point and 4-point mounting arrangement. Typical mounting hardware
includes dock plate pad eyes, anchor bolts, shackles, swivels and
stud link chain.
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.
