One good measure of bond strength and rubber greatness is a deflection test.

Our Dock Fenders test out with a whopping 70% deflection. Still bonded, still with tons of energy absorp- tion power for more pro- tection.

Super Heavy-Duty

Modular Fenders. Steel mounting plates mean fast, strong welded installation.

Installation and maintenance cost less. Replacement is less expensive, too —the damaged module or segment (it happens, you know) can be replaced individually.

Choose from two basic styles that make up con- tinuous protective fenders.

Customized to fit curves,too.

Super Extruded Rubber

Fenders. Choose from six basic shapes in lengths up to 20 feet. They can be pre- curved, with special modifi- cations for unusual needs.

All six are easy to install, either suspended or bolted into place.

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL, FOLKS!

If the three lines above don't fit your needs, BJ fendering specialists can help you custom engineer the best protection.

Super Fenders are from BJ rubber and bond- ing specialists (and the great engineers of Borg-Warner).

And protection is our business.
