Foam filled fenders PU

PU foam filled fenders are marine fenders with a tough polyurethane outer skin encapsulating a closed-cell foam core. This construction provides buoyancy and energy absorption during vessel contact while maintaining structural integrity. These floating foam fenders resist water ingress and abrasion, and are designed to deform under load to dissipate impact forces. Their materials and design make them suitable for use where continuous flotation and impact resilience are required.

Floating foam fenders are used to protect vessels, pontoons, and berthing structures from contact damage during mooring, berthing, and vessel handling operations. They serve as a resilient buffer between hulls and fixed or floating infrastructure, reducing transmitted forces and preventing abrasion. Applications include ship-to-ship transfers, tugboat operations, and protection of small craft and workboats. Selection should be based on operational conditions and expected impact characteristics.

PU foam fenders are generally low-maintenance due to their robust polyurethane skin and inherent flotation from the foam core. Routine maintenance typically involves periodic visual inspections for surface damage, cleaning to remove debris and contaminants, and checking the condition of mounting hardware. Significant damage should be evaluated and repaired by qualified personnel. For specific maintenance schedules and procedures tailored to operational conditions, you can contact our team for technical advice.

Inspect floating foam fenders regularly with a focus on the outer skin, seams, and mounting attachments. Look for cuts, abrasion, delamination, deformation, and signs of water ingress. Verify that fixing points, shackles, and ropes are intact and properly secured. Clean surfaces to remove marine growth and contaminants that could accelerate wear. Document findings and address any damage promptly with appropriate repair methods. For detailed inspection protocols relevant to your installation, contact our team for guidance.
