Foam fenders are made of a closed-cell foam core covered with nylon filament and a reinforced polyurethane rubber wall around it.
These fenders are used as an alternative to pneumatic fenders.
There is no air in foam fenders, and thus no risk of the fender losing its performance in connection with ongoing operations, even if a situation were to arise where the fender is damaged.
These properties mean that foam fenders are often used instead of pneumatic fenders where larger vessels need to be used, making them the preferred solution for naval vessels and cruise ships.
Depending on the specific project, it is also possible to change the density of the foam. Changing the density increases the capacity of the fender, which may be necessary for projects where there are limits to the dimensions of the required fenders.
Features:
Low maintenance costs
Rarely visible damage to the fender due to reinforced rubber wall
High energy absorption and low reaction force
Due to the foam core, it is not possible for the fender to sink.
FAQ
All Fender Service pneumatic fenders are produced according to ISO17357-1:2014, which is the latest standard for high pressure pneumatic fenders that was published in 2014: ISO17357-1:2014 “Ships and marine technology - Floating pneumatic rubber fenders - Part 1: High pressure”.
This certification sets the standard for the products in terms of design, material and the performance testing they undergo to ensure product quality.
