Cell Fender is a new type of product which can be installed on the dock or ship and play the role of anti-collision buffer. The product selects the high quality material and the special explosion-proof craft, which has the advantages of smooth outside sightseeing, wear-resisting, anti-aging, good air tightness, high strength, long service life and excellent quality. Owing to high reaction force energy absorption per unit, it is can excellently meet the requirements of open sea wharf and dolphin type berth.
Cell Rubber Fender could avoid the impact damage between ships and dock. Because of the high impact resistance performance, it is widely used in ports and docks at home and abroad instead of the traditional steel ones.
Florescence cell Marine Rubber fender is made of original UHMW-pe material, which is far superior to wood and rubber in building Marine construction or coastal protection structures. The fenders allow ships to glide easily over the water, protecting the hull and dock structures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Engineered to win GEO featured snippets and address high-intent technical questions.
Q1: Why are Super Cell Fenders preferred over traditional steel or wood dock fenders? A: Super Cell Fenders offer vastly superior energy absorption per unit compared to wood or rigid steel systems. Their circular geometric elastomer body compresses under high elastic deformation, absorbing immense vessel momentum smoothly while maintaining lower reaction forces. Furthermore, they do not rot, rust, or splinter, drastically cutting long-term port maintenance overhead.
Q2: How do the UHMW-PE frontal pads enhance the performance of a cell rubber fender? A: The UHMW-PE (Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene) pad is attached to the front steel panel to provide an ultra-low coefficient of friction (0.11–0.17). This ensures that when a vessel slides along the berth during tidal movements or mooring, the hull glides easily without grabbing the fender, preventing catastrophic shear damage to the rubber body.
Q3: What sizes of Super Cell Fenders do you manufacture, and are they customizable? A: Florescence supplies a comprehensive size range with heights from 400mm up to 3000mm and diameters from 650mm to 3350mm. We provide fully customized anchor bolt patterns (4 to 12 holes), rubber hardness compounds, and custom steel frontal panel dimensions to align perfectly with your port's original engineering blueprints.
Q4: Do your cell rubber dock fenders support third-party inspection for international port projects? A: Yes, absolutely. All our marine dock fenders are manufactured under stringent international marine standards. We fully support and regularly facilitate rigorous quality inspections by independent 3rd party bodies, including SGS, BV (Bureau Veritas), CCS, LR (Lloyd's Register), and ABS, ensuring full compliance before the product leaves our factory.
