Polyurethane foam fender is a kind of constructive fender with polyurethane materials as its outer protective layer and polyethylene or plastic foam core forming the resilient inner part. Through compressive deformation to absorb impacting energy of the ship when using. So that it can reduce destructive effect to the pier and the ship.
Structure of foam fender
The EVA foam fenders are constructed of three parts each providing
an important function in the construction and lifespan of the
fender. The three parts are (1) The closed cell polyurethane foam.
(2) Outer nylon cord fabrics. (3) Polyurea spraying coat.
(1) Foam Core
The closed cell polyurethane foam core used inside offers un-sink
ability during operation.
(2) Outer Nylon Cord Fabrics
The outer nylon cord fabrics is specifically designed to seal
polyurethane foam inside ability during operation.
(3) Polyurea Spraying Coating
Polyurea coating is permanent spray on coatings that protect the
surface of fender body. It is more durable than rubber and flexible
in all weather conditions: no softening in heat or becoming brittle
in cold. Dent, scratch and chemical resistant.
Application of foam fender
1. Tankers, Gas Carriers and Bulk Cargo Ships
2. Fast ferries and aluminum hulled vessels
3. Temporary of permanent installations;
4. Rapid response and emergency fendering
5. As stand-off fenders to realign ships with shore facilities.

Features of foam fender
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.
Advantages of foam fender
1. Good float-ability makes the installation site not affected by
tidal range.
2. Non-pneumatic operation, free from scratch and fiction,seawater
corrosion resistance and high salt-alkalia tolerance, longer
service life up to 15 years without regular maintenance.
3. Higher safety factor, free from explosion risk.
