Introduction
Foam fenders for boats are essential components in the marine and
industrial sectors. These fenders are designed to protect vessels,
structures, and equipment from damage caused by impacts,
collisions, and abrasion. They play a crucial role in safeguarding
valuable assets and ensuring smooth operations in various
environments.
What are Foam Filled Fenders?
Foam fenders for boats are essentially energy - absorbing devices.
They consist of a durable outer shell, which is usually made of
materials like high - density polyethylene (HDPE), rubber, or a
combination of both. Inside this shell, a special type of foam is
inserted. The foam used is often a closed - cell foam, which has
excellent buoyancy, shock - absorbing properties, and resistance to
water, chemicals, and UV radiation.
Working Principle
When a vessel or object comes into contact with a foam fender for
boats, the fender compresses. The closed - cell foam inside the
fender absorbs the kinetic energy of the impact. As the foam is
compressed, it deforms, spreading the force of the impact over a
larger area. This reduces the peak force exerted on the vessel or
structure, minimizing the risk of damage. Once the impact is over,
the foam returns to its original shape, ready to absorb the next
impact.
LUHANG Structural Design
LUHANG can reflect unparalleled performance, mainly due to the
fender Excellent Structural Design, Superior Original Material and
World-Leading Production Technology.
01-Closed Cell Foam Core (100%)
Due to the molecular structure of Closed Cell (Isolation of Gas),
so the foam core can maintain excellent elasticity which is the
basis of foam fender performance. LUHANG utilizing only
cross-linked, closed cell polyethylene
02-Cord reinforced Layer
LUHANG is constructed Continuous Tough and Thick Nylon Filament
Reinforcement in Polyurethane skin which provides superior
strength.
03-Outer SPUA Layer
High performance Polyurethane skin: Anti-acid, Alkali and salt
corrosion, Anti-UV resistant, Non-marking which makes the LUHANG
skin extremely durable to all types of weather, forces and marine
conditions.
04-Central pipe
Heavy Duty Chain Connecting Swivel End Fitting Type (The internal
chain guarantees maximum pull-through strength, even distribution
of energy and stresses.) and Heavy Duty Internal Pipe Fixed End
Fitting Type optional. All fittings are constructed of top-quality
steel.
Application Scenarios
1. Docks and Ports: Serve to safeguard dock structures and mitigate
impact when ships are berthing.
2. Ships: Placed on either side of the hull, they prevent
collisions between ships and docks or among different ships.
3. Offshore Platforms: Used for the protection of offshore
installations like oil drilling platforms and wind power platforms.
4. Inland Waterway Channels: Appropriate for inland docks,
navigation locks, and other aquatic infrastructure.
