Qingdao Florescence foam fenders share a construction technology centred on a closed cell polyethylene foam core and an outer skin of reinforced polyurethane elastomer. The closed cell foam structure makes punctures a thing of the past. Every cell is separate and so water can't migrate into the foam. Even after many years of active service, the foam core can be returned to the factory, re-skinned and made ready for a new lease of life. No matter how badly abused, foam fenders will not burst or explode. Damage is rare, but if the worst should happen our foam fenders will still function until repairs are possible.
Structure of foam fender
The EVA foam fenders are constructed of three parts each providing
an important function in the construction and lifespan of the
fender. The three parts are (1) The closed cell polyurethane foam.
(2) Outer nylon cord fabrics. (3) Polyurea spraying coat.
(1) Foam Core
The closed cell polyurethane foam core used inside offers un-sink
ability during operation.
(2) Outer Nylon Cord Fabrics
The outer nylon cord fabrics is specifically designed to seal
polyurethane foam inside ability during operation.
(3) Polyurea Spraying Coating
Polyurea coating is permanent spray on coatings that protect the
surface of fender body. It is more durable than rubber and flexible
in all weather conditions: no softening in heat or becoming brittle
in cold. Dent, scratch and chemical resistant.
Foam filled fender main applications:
· Yacht and Navy
· Container ships and Cruise ships
· Ferries
· Oil and gas tankers
· General cargo vessels

Differences between foam filled fenders and PVC fenders
| Item | Foam filled fender | PVC fender |
| Structure | Foam Core+ Nylon Cord Fabrics+Polyurea Spraying Coating | Polyvinyl Chloride PVC +Air Inside |
| Service Life | 8-10 years | 3-4 years |
| Feature | Solid, unsinkable,Ultra-tough | Hollow, easy to be ruptured |
| Energy Absorbing | High Energy absorbing,Low Reaction, Low hull pressures (just 172kN/m2) | Not as good as foam filled fenders |
| Safety | Because of unsinkable design, they can provide constant protection for ships | Because of easiness of rupturing, put ships in danger of collision |
| Maintain | Even at the end of their first service life they can be returned to the factory for refurbishment before going back to work | Once broken stop working |
Features of foam fender
1.Reinforced elastomer skin
EVA foam filled fenders have a nylon filament reinforced
polyurethane skin which has excellent resistance to water,
oil, ice, strong sunlight and abrasive surface. It remains flexible
even at -40°C (-40°F) making it suitable for Tropical or Arctic
operations.
2.Energy absorbing
The EVA foam filled fender absorbs impact energy so colliding
vessels will not damage the buoy or themselves.
3.Unsinkable foam
Only closed-cell foams are used in EVA foam filled fenders. The
micro-bubble matrix of the foam means it does not absorb water even
if cut or damaged. This makes EVA foam filled fenders impossible to
sink.
4.Permanent colors
The poly urea skin is pigmented through its entire thickness, so
colors will not wear off and will never need repainting. A wide
choice of bright colors can help improve safety and identification.
Advantages of foam fender
1. Having the capability of floating, not easily influenced by the ebb and flow of the tide.
2. Bright colors. Various colors are offered according to the customers' demands.
3. Compared with inflatable fender, it boasts the characteristics of safety and maintenance-free with working life as long as 10 to 15 years, wanting no inflating, resistant to scratching, pricking, friction, sea water, acid and alkali.
4. Solid but light, easy to install and move.
5. When compressed to 60%, reaction force grows obviously from little to largeness, and energy absorption is very high.
