Foam Filled Fender

Foam filled fenders are often used in ship-to-quay and ship-to-ship berthing operations. They are used as alternatives to the normal pneumatic fenders. These fender are made of polyurethane elastomer skin( or rubber skin), nylon reinforcement layer and closed-cell resilient foam. The performance of foam elastomer fenders is comparable to that of a pneumatic fender, but the fenders will not lose their function in case the skin gets punctured, and they have a high degree of wear resistance.

Foam filled fender, also called EVA solid fender, is a new type fender using light weight high elasticity foam as cushion medium, widely applied to harbour, offshore,STS and STD operation.

Henger Foam Filled Fender is made of environmental protection material and high elasticity polymeric material. Long service life and high economic value of this product is achieved by the high quality material with performance of high strength, high elasticity, high adhesion, anti-leakage,and aging resistance.

Performance

There are some reports of foam-filled fenders that absorb 40% more energy than pneumatic fenders.

However, performance of foam fenders really depends on the manufacturer. We have heard cases of customers using foam fenders that deformed easily during operation. Once deformed, the fender is not suitable for use any more. Not only the energy absorption is not efficient, it may even damage the vessels or dock.

Therefore, it is important to not blindly assume that all foam fenders are better in performance. It is better to check and order from a manufacturer with a strong track record of delivering great products.

our foam fenders have been used for various projects globally in countries.

Durability

One obvious advantage a foam-filled type has over a pneumatic rubber fender is that they do not deflate.

When pneumatic fenders got punctured, they fail to perform any more. Whereas for foam fenders, they would still be able to be deployed, albeit having much less efficient energy absorption.

At the very least, they could still be used sparingly for temporary purposes.

Our pneumatic fenders generally last more than 8 years, similarly with foam fenders. However, Do note that the external hot-dip galvanised chain and tires net would have to be changed in 2-3 years interval to ensure their integrity.

For foam fenders, it is the ultra-efficient closed-cell foam core that absorbs fully the energy (repel the excess energy back as reaction force). so the amount of materials used is much more than the rubber, for a similar sized fender.
