EVA foam fender uses high elasticity but light EVA foam as the inner material. The outer is the SPUA coating material.
Characteristics
- EVA solid foam-filled material + SPUA coating made the fender with high floating force. The tide will not affect the fender installation area.
- Compared with the pneumatic fender, we will not worry about the air-release problem. Don’t have the maintenance cost. Also, it doesn’t have the burst risk, the safety property is high.
- By comparison with the pneumatic fender, the energy absorption is higher.
- The foam fender could be any colour you want, bright and beautiful. Has good identification.
- Use the chain for the sling, easy installation, and easy to move position.
- Can use the chain tire net, it will prolong the foam fenders’ use life. Chain tire net foam fenders mean one chain tire net around the fender body. The outer tire layer protects the fender body from damage.
Marine Foam Fenders Applications
- Shipyard, shipside or ship bow area;
- It is suitable for the gravity-type or dolphin-type berth. Especially for the big tide berth yard;
- It is also suitable for the navy warship berthing, to ensure the safety of the berth;
- As for the bridge pier, the foam fenders will protect the bridge pier, to avoid damage to the ship;
- It is a kind of must equipment for yard protection, it has a flexible function for the emergency;
- Using the huge size of the foam fender, can increase the water depth of the berthing area, and update the yard levels;
- Can use the foam fender separately. And also can use it together with other protection devices, to protect the bridge pier and the ship together.

Absorption Theory
EVA high-efficiency elasticity foam brings Vinyl acetate from the Molecular chain, which increases the degree of crystallinity. Also increase the flexibility, anti-impact ability, filler mix and heat sealing ability.
Then the foam fender has good flexibility ability, anti-shock, and anti-environment force crack ability. And also have good lightweight performance, anti-lower temperature and no toxic characteristic, it is a very good ship anti-shock fender material.

Advantage of Foam-Filled Fender Compared with Pneumatic Fender
The pneumatic rubber fender has been widely used in the world by replacing the used tire. But the pneumatic fender has the problem of heavyweight, bad anti-collision defects.
And when the pneumatic fender is broken, we can not amend it easily and the fender can not be re-used again.
Foam-filled fender could make up for these disadvantages.
Just the price of the foam-filled fender is higher than the pneumatic rubber fender.
Portable Foam Filled Fender
Our foam-filled fender is fully customized.
It could be portable as the above Fender type. One end with rope for the sling.
Other advantages of Foam Filled Fender
- Closed cell foam, hydrophobic foam, lightweight, high energy absorption. Even if the fender is broken, it will not absorb the water;
- The SPUA protection layer has the property of anti-shock, anti-abrasion, anti-squeezing, anti-oil, anti-water and anti-climate changes characteristics etc;
- The function of the foam marine fender is reliable, the installation is convenient, and the maintenance cost is low. The boat foam fender is beautiful and functional.
- Customize the colours, has a cool appearance and have a clear identification function.
- You can choose the different sizes of the foam-filled fenders, we have the standard size, but we can custom all the sizes for you.
- We have the foam fender with net type and just body sling type. Also, we have equipped the swivel and shackle in the ends. We also have different flange styles for your choice.
