Marine Floating EVA Foam Filled Ocean Polyethylene Fender

Our floating foam fenders also have a simple yet unique internal structure, which allows the shear loads to be absorbed by a through-chain arrangement terminating in end-shackles rather than the body of the fender itself.

Marine Floating EVA Foam Filled Fenders - Polyurethane Ocean and Dock Protection Systems

 

 

Product Overview: What are Polyurethane and EVA Foam Filled Fenders?

Polyurethane foam filled fenders and EVA marine fenders are premier floating protection systems designed to perform exceptionally well both in commercial harbors and during ship to ship transfer operations. Engineered with an extremely low hull surface pressure, these floating ocean fenders provide an ultra gentle cushioning effect that effectively protects soft skinned vessels, such as white hulled luxury yachts, naval craft, and large cruise liners, without leaving marks or scratches on the hull finish.

These versatile fenders can be deployed via floating or suspended configurations against a concrete quay wall, or directly between two vessels. They are fully adaptive to all maritime environments, performing reliably in ports with either small or large tidal changes, and working perfectly on both brand new and aging port structures.

Key Engineering Advantages of EVA and Polyurethane Fenders

 

 

Unsinkable and Deflation Free Safety: Utilizing a high density closed cell elastic foam core, these fenders will never absorb water, sink, or deflate even if the outer skin is punctured.

Non Marking Toughened Finish: The exterior skin is highly resilient and specifically formulated to be non marking, making it the ideal choice for high end commercial and recreational berths.

Extremely Low Maintenance: The polyurethane elastomer coating exhibits superior resistance to the degrading effects of atmospheric ozone and ultraviolet light, minimizing regular inspection costs.

Exceptional Environmental Adaptability: Built to withstand heavy wave actions, extreme marine environments, and severe temperature fluctuations without structural deformation.

Factory Refurbishment Value: At the end of their initial long service life, the fender bodies can be returned to the factory for complete refurbishment, significantly extending their operational lifespan and saving capital investment.

Innovative Internal Structure: Through Chain Design

Our marine floating EVA foam filled fenders feature a unique internal engineering layout. Unlike standard foam fenders where the end fittings are permanently integrated into the body, our system absorbs heavy shear loads through an independent through chain arrangement that terminates in heavy duty end shackles.

This advanced engineering ensures that if the system experiences an extreme overload, any damaged steel component can be replaced in isolation. This eliminates the risk of the entire fender being written off due to isolated shear force damage, providing massive long term cost savings to fleet and port operators. While standard units are supplied as cylindrical floating structures, our flexible manufacturing process allows us to deliver custom shapes including spherical, rectangular, and cog type fenders to meet unique architectural requirements.

Optional Chain and Tire Net Configurations

While a chain and tire protective net is more commonly associated with pneumatic rubber Yokohama type fenders, Florescence can provide a heavy duty chain and tire net for foam filled fenders upon specific client request. This configuration provides an additional protective shield for the fender body in aggressive berthing environments, though it may increase the risk of being hooked by hull projections and requires higher maintenance. This option is available for foam fenders with a minimum diameter of 1.5 meters up to an upper limit of 4.0 meters.

Premium Three Part Construction and Materials

Every Florescence foam filled marine fender is constructed using environment friendly polyurethane and new polymeric materials featuring an adjustable high elastic modulus. The system consists of three critical layers vulcanized together:

Closed Cell Polyurethane Foam Core: Highly elastic, lightweight, and completely impervious to water absorption.

Nylon Cord Reinforcement Fabrics: Multiple high tensile heavy tire cord layers wrapped at optimized angles to distribute impact loads.

Polyurea Spraying Coat Outer Skin: A high strength, high adhesion outer elastomer skin offering maximum anti permeability and anti aging properties.

FAQ

 

Q1: How long has your company been involved in marine equipment manufacturing?
A: Founded in 1992, we have more than three decades of experience producing marine protection systems, including rubber fenders, pneumatic fenders, foam-filled fenders, and ship launching airbags. Our production facility is managed under ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 quality systems.

Q2: Which overseas markets have you supplied?
A: Our marine products are delivered to clients across over 140 countries and regions, covering Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and Latin America. We serve shipyards, port authorities, offshore companies, and marine engineering contractors globally.

Q3: What materials are commonly used for steel panels and protective pads?
A: The front frames are typically fabricated from marine-grade steel with protective anti-rust treatment, while the surface pads are usually made from UHMW-PE due to its excellent abrasion resistance and low friction properties.

Q4: What factors influence the choice of a marine fender system?
A: Selection is normally based on ship dimensions, berthing impact energy, tidal conditions, dock configuration, and site operating requirements.

Q5: Is it possible to supply a complete fender assembly package?
A: Yes. We can provide integrated solutions including chains, anchor fasteners, shackles, steel panels, UHMW-PE facings, and mounting components.

Q6: What surface protection options are available for steel components?
A: Common anti-corrosion solutions include hot galvanizing, epoxy protection systems, marine-grade coatings, and zinc-based primer applications.
