Our Keyhole Composite Fender is an advanced fendering solution engineered for high-impact and high-abrasion applications. It combines the superior energy absorption of a high-resilience rubber body with an ultra-low friction UHMW-PE facing pad. The two materials are permanently bonded through vulcanization, creating a single, robust fender that protects both vessels and structures from damage during contact.
Key Advantages
- Low-Friction Surface: The integrated UHMW-PE top layer provides a smooth, non-marking surface that significantly reduces friction and shear forces, allowing vessels to slide easily along the fender without snagging.
- High Wear Resistance: Built to withstand frequent and heavy impacts, the composite construction is highly resistant to abrasion, weathering, and UV degradation, ensuring a long and reliable service life.
- Superior Energy Absorption: The keyhole-shaped rubber profile is specifically designed to absorb large impact forces, offering reliable protection for the bows of tugboats and workboats, as well as quay walls and piers.
- Easy Installation: The fender’s design includes two mounting holes for simple and precise installation. It can be supplied in specific lengths, with beveled ends or pre-curved to match the hull of a vessel.
Ideal for a wide range of applications including tugboats, workboats, barges, pontoons, and port quays, the Keyhole Composite Fender is a highly effective and economical solution. Its heavy-duty design ensures reliable performance in the most demanding marine environments, providing essential protection for valuable assets.
