Low-quality foam fenders may be an advantage in terms of purchase cost, but in practical applications, foam fenders essentially test its energy absorption and reaction performance, safety and long-term stability. If the long-term application cost is considered, low-quality foam fenders have no any advantage, which will directly lead to economic losses for customers and threaten the safety of personnel/ships/docks.

• Inferior foam fender have the problem of foam core collapsed, because foam core material is not properly selected (waste/mixturematerial), cannot withstand high-intensity repeated impacts, and foam fender will have non-elastic deformation, resulting in performance degradation, or even loss of performance and service life greatly reduced,damage to ships and docks.
• Inferior foam fender have the problem of Polyurethanecoating Due to the insufficient thickness and quality of Polyurethane reinforcement layer on the surface of foam fender, and the unreasonable layout of tire cord layers, the force on the surface is relatively concentrated and will be cracked. After long-term application, the foam core absorbs moisture and performance declines,the cracking gap will become larger and larger, affecting fender service life.
• Inferior foam fenderhave the problem of central axis damaged. The central axis with low strength will be bent,deformed or even broken during repeated compression. The foam fender loses its supporting function. If the inspection is not timely, it will bring direct economic losses.
