InterTrade Awarded

Navy Contract For

Fenders—Literature

Offered

InterTrade Industries, Ltd. of

Huntington Beach, Calif., and

Washington, D.C. area, one of the world's largest suppliers of marine fenders, has been selected by the

U.S. Navy to protect their ships and piers at the U.S. Naval Base in Nor- folk, Va. The award, under contract

No. N00189-85-C-0556, is for 100 six-foot-diameter by 12-foot-long

Hi-Tec foam-filled marine fenders.

The InterTrade Industries' Hi-

Tec foam-filled fender has an inter- nal core of resilient closed-cell foam that is manufactured using the latest technology available, to pro- vide the highest energy absorption upon impact of the berthing ship.

Because of this feature, the manu- facturer claims that the Hi-Tec ma- rine fender is unsinkable even if severely damaged.

The outer skin of the fender is made from a specially formulated elastomer (Alphathane™) that is 15 times more abrasion resistant than steel. According to the manufactur- er, Alphathane offers a combination of toughness and durability beyond the range of most rubbers and plas- tics today. The outer skin can be provided with or without nylon fila- ment tire cord to assist the tough

Alphathane in achieving even high- er tensile strength and minimizing stresses.

The Hi-Tec marine fender uses an external chain and tire net that car- ries the attachments of the fender to the pier. This outer net reduces the stresses on the fender skin be- cause it can take all of the tensile loads, thereby reducing loads on the fender.
