What makes us different

100% fully enclosed EVA foam core.
Reinforced with PA6 filament and coated with polyurethane elastomer.
The outer layer is made tough and durable with sprayed polyurea.

Description

SME utilizes fully enclosed EVA foam: The EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate copolymer) foam is celebrated for its tightly packed closed-cell structure, which ensures that upon impact, the foam body effectively absorbs and distributes energy, thereby safeguarding vessels from collision damage. The closed-cell design inherently locks the gas within the foam, preventing compression or deformation over time, ensuring long-term stability and reliability.

Sturdy Reinforced Polyurethane Shell: The shell is crafted from reinforced polyurethane material, which not only offers an additional layer of protection for the foam but also significantly enhances the overall strength and durability of the fender. This shell is capable of withstanding harsh environmental factors such as seawater erosion and UV radiation, ensuring that the fender maintains its superior performance over extended periods of use.

The design of the closure head and axle core structure of foam fenders is crucial for ensuring their stability, especially in marine environments where they are subjected to various complex forces and dynamic changes. The use of high-strength, corrosion-resistant metallic materials is essential to ensure that they can withstand long-term erosion from the marine environment and heavy loads.
