Engineered with high-density, lightweight materials, our inflatable ball provides exceptional buoyancy, making it perfect for floating and supporting equipment, supplies, or personnel in aquatic environments.
Inflatable rubber fenders have been used for about 50 years. It is the leading anti-collision device for marine applications in the world. This compressed air filled rubber fender is used for protective media for ship to ship contact (STS), ship to quay (STQ) and ship to berth (STB)
Our inflatable rubber fenders mainly consist of 3 layers: inner rubber, reinforcing tire cord and outer rubber. After bonding, they are molded in one step in a vulcanizer under high temperature and high pressure. Each fender must be inspected and qualified according to ISO 17357 before delivery to customers.
Inflatable fenders can be made in various sizes and types. Usually we recommend the use of chain and tire net (CTN) type which is to protect the fender body, but sling type can also be selected.
1. The initial pressure is divided into 0.05MPa and 0.08MPa pneumatic rubber fenders.
2. In addition to the above, other sizes can also be customized.
3. All fenders comply with the latest ISO 17357 regulations.
Main attributes
Inflatable fenders have many advantages including:
Easy to deploy quickly
Low reaction force and high energy
Change performance by changing the initial pressure
Applicable to any marine environment
Maintain the gap between the hull and the structure
Optional heavy-duty chain tire net cover
Application
Inflatable fenders are suitable for many applications including:
Tankers, liquefied gas carriers and bulk carriers;
Fast ferries and aluminum hulled ships;
Can be used as temporary or permanent facilities;
Quick response and emergency fenders;
As protection for ship-to-shore facilities
The main structure of the inflatable rubber fender has an outer cord layer and a rubber layer, and an inner rubber layer. All these structures are vulcanized and bonded together in a high-temperature and high-pressure tank. The end flanges have air inlets, pressure relief valves and other uses.
1. The outer rubber layer is a special composite rubber that can provide additional tensile and tear strength to ensure that it can still work normally in severe weather conditions and frequent use.
2. The inner rubber layer is specially designed to seal the compressed air inside to prevent leakage, just like the inner tube of a tire.
3. The cord layer is made of synthetic tire cord ply to maintain the internal air pressure. The external wear and aging performance of the fender is improved by strengthening the internal and external rubber layers.
4. The steel flange connection is installed at the end of the fender and is equipped with an air valve
5. The tire cord fender is applicable to the international standard ISO17357
