To ensure the long-term performance and structural integrity of foam-filled fender systems, the installation of a high-quality protective sheet on the inner-side wall is essential. This protective layer plays a critical role in safeguarding the foam-filled fender body from mechanical stress, abrasion, and prolonged operational wear.

The recommended solution is a fiber cloth–reinforced polyurea protective sheet, specifically designed to provide superior protection in demanding marine environments. This sheet must be installed on the inner-side wall of the fender, forming a robust barrier between the foam core and external forces.

For optimal compatibility and performance, the protective sheet must be manufactured using materials with physical properties equivalent to those of the outer casing of the foam-filled fender. To guarantee sufficient strength and durability, the sheet is required to have a minimum thickness of 5 mm.

Wear resistance is a critical performance factor. Therefore, only highly wear-resistant materials that meet or exceed an NBS abrasion resistance test value of 200 should be used. This ensures reliable protection against repeated friction and impact, even under harsh operational conditions.

Depending on specific application requirements and operating environments, users may select either a rubber protective sheet or a polyurea protective sheet. Both options provide effective protection, allowing flexibility in design while maintaining strict performance and durability standards.

By incorporating these protective sheet solutions, foam-filled fender systems achieve enhanced longevity, reduced maintenance needs, and improved operational reliability.
