Introduction

At NANHAI, we've been at the forefront of pneumatic fender design for decades. Our commitment to innovation has led us to develop a superior fender structure that enhances both performance and durability. In this article, we'll delve into the key components of a pneumatic fender and how NANHAI's patented design sets us apart.

The Core Components of a Pneumatic Fender

A pneumatic fender is essentially a flexible, air-filled structure used to protect ships during berthing and mooring operations. It consists of several essential layers:

• Outer Rubber Layer: This layer provides mechanical protection, chemical resistance, and dissipates energy during impact. It's typically made of synthetic rubber.
• Tire Cord Layer: This layer carries the load of the membrane force and maintains the fender's geometry.
• Rubber Matrix Part: This layer ensures adhesion between the reinforcement material and the other layers, provides a distance layer for the fabric plies, and handles shearing force loading.
• Air Tightness Layer (Reinforcement Layer): This layer, a NANHAI innovation, strengthens the fender's airtightness and reinforces the rubber and tire cord plies.

NANHAI's Innovative Approach

While traditional pneumatic fenders typically consist of three layers, NANHAI has enhanced the design by adding an air-tightness layer. This innovative layer significantly improves the fender's airtightness performance and overall strength.

Benefits of NANHAI's Design

• Enhanced Airtightness: The additional layer ensures that the fender maintains its pressure for longer periods, reducing the need for frequent reinflation.
• Increased Durability: The reinforced structure makes the fender more resistant to damage, extending its lifespan.
• Improved Safety: The enhanced airtightness and durability contribute to safer berthing and mooring operations.

Conclusion

NANHAI's pneumatic fender design represents a significant advancement in the industry. By incorporating an air-tightness layer, we've created a product that offers superior performance, durability, and safety. Our commitment to innovation continues to drive us to develop even more advanced solutions for the maritime industry.
