All of these fenders are foam filled. The advantage of foam filled fenders is their high energy absorption performance, with low reaction forces. The strong durable outer skin of each fender is produced of a high abrasion resistant material This outer skin is further strengthened with fiber applied with a filament winding machine. The result is an outer coating with the ultimate in strength and durability.

NOTE: The InterTrade coating will not mar ship surfaces as rubber does.
