Foam Filled Fender
Foam fenders are made from high-compressive strength memory foams surrounded by durable nylon. Performance can be customized by changing the foam grades. For harsher applications, foam-filled fenders can also come equipped with a chain and tire net. Florescence polyurethane foam-filled fenders are the very good solution for protecting ships and docks in storm conditions, as they have the potential to outperform pneumatic units during severe weather.
Advantages of Foam Filled Fender
1.Foam-filled fenders can absorb high levels of energy and minimize the reaction force, allowing them to withstand impacts even in bad environments.
2.Polyurethane Foam fenders are typically lightweight, making them easy to install and maintain.
3. Polyurethane foam-filled fenders provide very good weather resistance, making them a superior choice for stormy conditions compared to pneumatic fenders.
4.Even if its skin is punctured, it remains fully functional.
5.The foam core is usually surrounded by a soft and abrasion-resistant polyurethane layer, as well as a fabric reinforcement layer that is highly resistant to corrosion.
6.Foam Filled Fenders do not need to be re-inflated or adjusted regularly.
7.Regardless of how badly they are abused, foam filled fenders will not burst or explode.
8.Foam filled fenders are made of high-density foam of superior quality
9.Foam filled fenders are both in good looking and durable.
Feature of Foam Filled Fender
1. Easy to install and maintain.
2. Low reaction force and high energy absorption.
3. Heavy-duty, unsinkable, impact-resistant.
4. Available colors: orange, red, yellow, etc.
5. Used on yachts, docks, bulk carriers, large tankers, ocean platforms, floating structures, harbors, wharf etc.
- Good floating performance unaffected by tidal range.
- Can provide various colors according to client's requirements.
- No need for inspection during use; no air inflation required; good resistance to seawater, acid and alkali.
- No risk of explosion; high safety level.
- Suitable for open sea terminals and gravity ports due to its high energy absorption
and adjustable reaction force; especially suitable for large tidal range docks and ship-to- ship or ship-to-dock operations.
- Long service life of up to 10-15 years.
Types of Foam Filled Fender
Portable foam filled fenders
Without nets (only the fender body), usually smaller in size.
Flanged foam filled fenders
Can be equipped with chain nets, chain nets with tires, or without nets, usually used for larger sizes. We can supply foam fenders fitted with chain & tyre net. This will offer additional protection of the coating (outer layer) and foam core.
Material of Foam Filled Fender
The foam filled 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.
Construction Parts of Foam Filled Fenders
The closed cell polyurethane foam
The closed-cell EVA foam core used inside offers un-sink ability during operation. The energy-absorbing foam core of our foam-filled fender shall be heat-laminated. Chipped or granulated particulate foam, as well as adhesives to bond the foam together, are not acceptable. Also, our foam core is 100% closed-cell foam. Each closed cell is completely enclosed, which prevents it from compressing or settling over time.
Outer Polyurethane Protective Layer + Nylon Cord Fabrics
Specifically designed to seal EVA foam inside and prevent any leakage.The outer nylon cord fabrics is specifically designed to seal polyurethane foam inside ability during operation. The outer skin of our foam-filled fender is constructed of elastomer with filament reinforcing as specified. The polyurethane skin is reinforced with nylon 6 for extra strength. The reinforced skin’s tensile strength can reach 31Mpa, with tear strength around 78.8kN/m. The skin is thick enough to provide enough nylon wraps. They transfer shear forces from berthing and the rated reaction force.
Polyurea Spraying Coating
Permanent spray-on coatings that protect the surface of the fender body. It is more durable than rubber and flexible in all weather conditions; with no softening in heat or becoming brittle in cold. Spraying polyurea can make them tough. It makes them resist chemicals, weather, and damage. It also keeps them flexible in extreme temperatures.

Process of Foam Filled Fender
Foam fenders are produced using a fender building machine to construct a foam core on top of a metal mandrel. A resilient PE closed-cell foam strip or sheet is used as the main energy absorbing component of foam fenders. By applying heat, these foam strips or sheets are laminated together to form a one-piece integral structure.
The use of this foam filled construction process makes the fender unsinkable and able to function even if punctured.
The outer layer, which covers the foam core, is constructed through a spraying process which uses a special synthetic polyurethane or polyurea elastomer. This layer is reinforced with nylon tire cord filaments during spraying process.
Multiple layers of continuous nylon filament reinforcements are applied, using a filament winding machine, to produce a high strength reinforced coating. The filament winding process produces a fender skin that has reinforcing fibres oriented in the optimal direction for maximum strength. Due to continuous filament winding, local loadings are distributed over a wide area of fender surface, minimizing stresses in the fender skin and increasing its tensile strength.
Why Choose Qingdao Florescence Marine Foam Filled Fender ?
Made with 100% Enclosed EVA Foam
This foam is built with tightly packed, fully sealed cells that don’t compress or change shape over time. The closed cell structure of EVA foam absorbs the hits well. It won’t get damaged, crushed, or lose shape easily. Since each cell is sealed, water can’t get in. So, the foam keeps its form and buoyancy, even if the outer polyurethane layer gets scratched.
Polyurethane Coating
The polyurethane layer is applied over the marine foam fender surface. It protects against corrosion, weather effects, abrasion, and other damaging factors. Polyurethane is suited for protecting fender skins and other marine and floating products. All thanks to its durable characteristics.
Strengthening Techniques
We use a variety of reinforcement materials for our floating foam fenders. Those include metal or synthetic tyre cord fabrics, per construction guidelines. These reinforcement layers increase the strength of the fender. They also improve the grip of the polyurethane or SPUA coatings, making them more durable and effective.
Unique Designed Internal Structure
Our skilled engineers design specialized steel structures. These include axles for fenders and frames for buoys and floats. They tailor these structures to specific needs in our metalwork shop. Before starting production, our engineers perform stress analysis. This is done to refine and optimize the designs. It ensures the final products are of the highest quality.
