Barrel Mooring Buoys

Product catalog summary

Overview of Barrel Mooring Buoys
Barrel mooring buoys are a type of mooring buoy characterized by their barrel shape. They are constructed with a central steelwork core surrounded by resilient closed-cell polyethylene/EVA foam, covered with a polyurethane outer skin. This design ensures the buoy is self-fendering and unsinkable, even if damaged. The polyurethane skin is resistant to abrasion and UV degradation, and can be reinforced with nylon for enhanced durability in extreme environments.

BARREL MOORING BUOYS Barrel mooring buoy is one kind of representative mooring buoys. Barrel type mooring buoy has a barrel shape. The steelwork construction through the buoy’s middle vertically. It can be supplied with handling crucifix and chain-through design. The barrel mooring buoys are constructed by resilient closed cell polyethylene/EVA foam around the inner central steelwork, covered by polyurethane (PU) outer skin. The resilient closed cell polyethylene/EVA foam core guarantees self-fendering and unsinkable even in case of damage. And self-colored polyurethane elastomer skin is resistant to abrasion and ultraviolet ray degradation. Closed cell PE/EVA foam core in a range of densities Reinforced high performance polyurethane elastomer skin Mooring buoys available with chain through, pad eye or handling crucifix configuration, non-slip decks, self-contained LED lantern Un-skinable closed cell rigid foam core Polyurethane elastomer outer skin Polyester reinforced skin Self-fendering with high impact absorption Various end fitting options available Robust construction and low collision Various color for choose Customized size and shape available For extreme service environments, the polyurethane elastomer skin can be reinforced by nylon to protective coating has higher tear strength, making the buoy long-lasting and virtually maintenance-free. www.doowinmarine.com - [email protected]
