ISO 14409 Certified Marine Rubber Airbag with 80kPa Working Pressure and Natural Rubber Material

Our Marine Rubber Airbag is a versatile and heavy‑duty inflatable solution engineered for ship launching and landing, salvage assistance, flotation support, and heavy load shifting. Manufactured from premium natural rubber and reinforced with multiple layers of high‑strength synthetic cord, these airbags deliver exceptional load‑bearing capacity, elasticity, and durability, making them indispensable tools for shipyards, salvage companies, and construction projects worldwide.

The airbag is constructed from top‑grade natural rubber compounds, chosen for their outstanding resilience, abrasion resistance, and tolerance to seawater, UV radiation, and extreme temperatures. The rubber cover is reinforced with multiple plies of nylon or polyester cord, ensuring high tensile strength and resistance to punctures. Both ends of the airbag are fitted with stainless steel metal fittings as standard – offering superior corrosion resistance and reliable connection for towing or lifting operations. The entire assembly is vulcanised under precise heat and pressure to guarantee a seamless, airtight structure that maintains integrity even under repeated high-compression cycles.

Our Marine Rubber Airbag is fully certified to ISO 14409, the international standard for ship launching airbags, confirming its compliance with rigorous safety and performance requirements. Each unit is designed for a standard working pressure of 80 kPa, providing optimal lifting and rolling force for vessels up to several thousand tonnes. Before packaging and dispatch, every airbag undergoes a comprehensive quality test – including pressure hold testing and visual inspection – to verify that it meets our strict criteria. Only after passing these tests is the airbag deflated and carefully packed for shipment, ensuring you receive a product that is ready for immediate and trouble‑free use.

We understand that each project has unique demands, so we offer full customization of dimensions to suit your specific vessels or operational conditions. The airbag diameter can be tailored from 0.4 m to 3.0 m, and the length from 5 m to 25 m – accommodating everything from small fishing boats to large bulk carriers and floating docks. Additional customization options include working pressure adjustments, different end fitting materials (upon request), and reinforced layers for extra heavy loads, all designed to match your exact requirements.

• High Load Capacity: With a working pressure of 80 kPa and reinforced construction, our airbags provide reliable support for vessel launching, landing, and heavy lifting, minimising friction and damage to hulls and slipways.
• Excellent Buoyancy & Flexibility: The natural rubber core ensures rapid inflation and deflation, while the closed‑cell structure offers stable flotation, making the airbag ideal for salvage operations and underwater lifting.
• Durable & Weather‑Resistant: The rubber compound resists ozone, UV, and saltwater corrosion, ensuring a long service life even in harsh marine environments.
• Easy Handling & Storage: When deflated, the airbag is compact and lightweight, allowing for easy transport, storage, and deployment without specialised heavy equipment.

• 

• Ship Launching & Landing: Used on slipways and dry docks to roll vessels safely into and out of water, reducing friction and structural stress.
• Salvage & Refloating: Employed to provide buoyancy for sunken or stranded vessels, facilitating recovery operations.
• Heavy Load Shifting: Ideal for moving heavy structures, such as offshore platforms, barges, or concrete caissons, by using the airbag as a roller or jack.
• Temporary Fendering & Mooring: Can also serve as emergency fenders or mooring buffers in port and offshore projects.
