What is foam-filled fender:
As an alternative to pneumatic rubber fenders, the Foam Filled Fenders can meet most stringent quality and performance demands. The manufacturing process of Foam Filled Fenders allows for any size to be constructed and selecting approperiate grade of foam core and elastomeric skin means the performance of a Foam Filled Fender can be precisely gauged to meet specific specification requirements.
Foam Filled Fenders are able to absorb 40% more energy than similar sized pneumatic fenders and their gently sloping reaction force curve provides ‘softer’ docking operations compared to buckling type fendering systems. This results in reduced stresses on docks, wharves, piers and vessels.
The Features of HVG Foam Filled Fender:
- 1. High energy absorption with relatively low reaction force. Compared with the typical pneumatic rubber fender, the same sized Foam Filled Fenders absorb up to 40% more energy.
- 2. Foam Filled Fenders can be used in any tough conditions to provide tough, heavy-duty protection for ship-to-ship, ship-to-dock, ship berthing and mooring applications.
- 3. Easy to maintenance. As the internal construction consists of a solid heat laminated foam core, there is no need to maintain air pressure, inflation, or relief valves as with the pneumatic rubber fenders.
- 4. Remains fully functional even if skin is punctured;
- 5. Easy installation;
- 6. Can be customerized in various colors, which increase the select range of customers.
