ZHH Brand ISO Certified Cylindrical Marine Boat Yacht Pneumatic Floating Reinforced Synthetic Tire Rubber Fenders Black 0.5-4.5m

Pneumatic rubber fenders, also known as Yokohama fenders, are manufactured from rubber and multiple layers of rubber-dipped tire fabric. These fenders serve as premier anti-collision devices for marine applications worldwide.

Floating pneumatic rubber fenders are constructed from synthetic-cord-reinforced rubber sheets with compressed air inside. The internal air enables flotation on water and functions as a shock absorber between ships (ship-to-ship) or between ships and berthing structures during docking operations.

• Reinforced synthetic-tire-cord layers providing strong stability, heat resistance, fatigue resistance, and impact load resistance
• No mold vulcanization with surrounding molding process
• Single-formed rubber capsule wall eliminating secondary joints and improving overall strength
• Thin, soft walls with excellent contact deformation performance and high energy absorption
• Superior adaptability to inclined contact up to 15 degrees
• Floating capability for multi-directional ship docking applications
• Easy installation and handling

Ships typically make initial contact with docks or other vessels at oblique angles during STS operations. Unlike solid rubber or foam fenders, inflatable rubber fenders maintain rated reaction force and energy absorption even at inclined compression up to 15 degrees.

Zhonghaihang Pneumatic Rubber Fenders consist of three primary components vulcanized together:

• Outer Rubber: Protects cord layers and inner rubber from abrasion and external forces with superior tensile and tear resistance
• Reinforcement Synthetic-Tyre-Cord Layer: Maintains internal air pressure with exceptional strength
• Inner Rubber Layer: Seals pressurized air inside the fender

Fenders with diameters of 2500mm and larger include safety valves to release excess internal pressure during accidental over-compression. The assembly features metal end fittings with dual flanges and bolt clamping, similar to automotive tire valve systems.

• Maintain fender pressure within ±5% of standard air pressure
• Check air pressure every three months and adjust as needed
• Avoid contact with sharp objects
• When not in use for extended periods: clean, dry, inflate with proper compressed air, and store in cool, dry, ventilated areas
• Keep away from heat sources, acids, alkalis, oils, and greases
• Do not fold or stack during storage
