Raw Material of Fender
Yutung Marine manufactures all kinds of marine fenders, shipp rubber airbags for launching, dock bumpers, port fenders and STS (ship to ship) operation pneumatic fenders.
Commonly when you ask for a quote from YT Marine or other Fender manufacturers or suppliers from China or India etc., you will not pay attention to the new or recycled rubber material they will quote.
But actually, it is very very important!
If we don’t mention it, definitely YT Marine will quote you the price of the new rubber material.
But we are not sure if other suppliers will quote you the fender with the new rubber material.

Of course, the recycled material fender will be cheaper, but not too much, maybe 10%-15%.
Which type you will choose?
Clever as you, which type of material you will use for the rubber fender?
Of course, you will choose the new one. But due to the cheaper price, maybe you will get the recycled material fender from the material.
I’m here to assure you that YT Marine does not use recycled rubber for our fenders. I just want to remind you not to just look at the price when buying a RUBBER fender.
