Marine protection recycled plastic fender
Fender Introduction
The best marine fender solution-Combining rubber fender with plastic fender
The functions of fender is to transfer the berthing load of a vessel to the berthing structures, to protect both the berthing vessels and structures from damage and to reduce the berthing load with appropriate fender.
Mainly there are three kinds of marine fender
1. Hardwood timber fender,which is the earliest fender type but with many fatal problems |
2. Rubber fender, which has most types and of most widely application areas, but with poor stiffness. |
3. Recycled plastic fender, which is the best fender material,but with limited application areas. |
Details of three main type of marine fenders
The feasibility of combined fender systems
Almost all the problems of rubber fender is mainly resulted from UV degradation and frequent friction with the berthed vessels. If they can be used behind plastic fenders, the degree of UV and friction influence on rubber fender will be reduced in a large scale, and its life also will be much longer than it’s used alone. And by this way, the plastic fender’s application areas also will be enlarged. Therefore, plastic fender, rubber fender , harbor and boats will all benefit in this combined fender systems.
Now in some areas, this kind of combined fender systems has been developed and widely used. Attached some drawings for your reference.
