Foam-filled fenders are able to absorb 40% more energy than similar sized pneumatic fenders and their gently sloping reaction force curve provides 'softer' docking operations compared to buckling type fendering systems. This results in reduced stresses on docks, wharves, piers and vessels.
Features and Advantages:
High energy absorption and low reaction force
Conforms to hull protrusions
Tough, nylon filament reinforced rubber skin
Remains fully functional even if skin is punctured
Low maintenance
Easy installation

A test above the main material of Foam Filled Fender, PE-Foam and Rubber should be conducted by executing request to an authorized inspection agency. An acceptance criterion should satisfy article “3-5” and “3-3”.
(2) Test in Function
When compressing 60% of Foam Filled Fender’s diameter, absorbing energy and reaction’s value should satisfy an article “3-5” functional value. (Pilot Test)
(3) Test in Recovery.
During load removal after compressing 60%, it should recover 90% of compressing diameter within 2 minutes and to 90% within 30 minutes.
