NIBS France fenders are designed for optimum shelf life. Their production meets the quality standard ISO 9001. The high-end materials make it a standard guarantee of safety during berthing operations at sea. The polyolefin polyethylene foam physically reticulated is associated with a coating of resin polyurethane (prepolymer amine Nibraprène®) without solvent, hot sprayed on the polyamide fiber reinforcement “rip stop».
This combination allows the realization of products having guaranteed quality. This manufacturing concept allows to fenders to undergo significant compression cycles without degradation of baseline characteristics. To maximize the life of foam fendering systems of NIBS France, our coating has an additional finishing touch with a wear layer in resin polyurethane Nibraprène ®. The dimensions and performance are determined basing on the characteristics of the boat to be equipped (length, width, draft, total displacement, impact speed, prismatic coefficient, …) Once the kinetic energy to be dissipated is determined, it remains to choose the kind of section, the coating thickness and the density appropriate of the foam in order to dissipate the energy levels, without being either too soft (crushing) or too rigid (bouncing).
It is important to know that all our boat fenders can be repaired and refurbished as new in our workshops, if the state of degradation requires. Onsite repair is also possible depending on the operations to be performed.
Our bout fendering systems can be installed on different types of boats (Pilot, Rescue, Military, Speed, Crew, Patrol, Diving, Oceanographic Vessels, Annex of Yachts, Skiff …)
