Do You Know Marine Fender?

Marine Fender also known as the ship's fender, is a kind of elastic buffer device used by the dock or the edge of the ship, including wood and rubber.Mainly used to reduce the impact force between ships and docks or between ships in the process of landing or mooring, to prevent or eliminate the damage of ships and docks.

Rubber fenders are generally classified into two broad categories depending on the structure: solid rubber fenders (non-floating) and floating rubber fenders.

Solid rubber fender (non-floating type) is an anti-collision device for dock ships with a long history of application and a wide range of applications. According to the force of the rubber fender, it can be divided into shear type, rotary type and compression type; according to the structure of the fender, the solid rubber fender can be further divided into D type, cone type, drum type, sector shape, rectangle shape, cylinder Shaped fenders and so on.

Floating rubber fenders are free to float on the surface of the water and can be divided into: inflatable rubber fenders and filled rubber fenders depending on the internal cushioning medium.

Inflatable rubber fenders use compressed air as a medium to work with compressed air to consume collision energy;

The foam-filled fender is also known as a solid polyurethane fender, and the interior cushioning medium is mainly a closed-cell foaming material such as foamed EVA, foamed polyurethane, and foamed rubber.
