F1 Series Polyform U.S. Twin Eye Fender - Ø 15 cm - White and Blue

The upper part and eyes are molded from a harder and more impact resistant PVC, the eyes are additionally reinforced with stiffeners to withstand heavier loads. The hull is made of a softer material for better flexibility and shock absorption, and the chamber walls are thicker for greater reliability and long service life. Designed for long-distance voyages and harsh operating conditions.

Such devices are used to place them as a protective buffer between the side of the yacht and the pier wall during and after mooring. Their task is to protect the outer coating of the case from chips, scratches and dents. The price of a fender is much cheaper than repairs, so shipowners buy a stock of such protective fenders to keep them on board at all times. Devices are inflated using a compressor or boat pump and hang from the side at potential contact points.

PVC inflatable fenders have replaced logs on ropes, wicker baskets and car tires:

• they are easy to transport and easy to maintain;
• weigh little and do not take up space when deflated;
• do not require permanent fixation and are freely adjustable in height;
• can be placed vertically or horizontally along the board.

Polyvinyl chloride itself does not rot and does not germinate with algae, does not become a breeding ground for mold, and is also not affected by ultraviolet radiation and sea water.
