Product catalog summary
Introduction
Polyform® was founded in 1955 in Ålesund, Norway, as the first company to produce inflatable, rotomolded soft Vinyl buoys. The company has been a pioneer in innovation, developing unique machinery and technologies for buoy and fender production.
Historical Development
Polyform introduced the first inflatable plastic buoy in 1955, significantly impacting the marine industry. Over the years, they have enhanced their production technology, including the introduction of fully automated and robot-assisted machinery in the 2000s.
Product Range
Polyform's product line includes inflatable buoys and fenders, expanded foam marina fenders, purse seine floats, and hard-plastic products for various marine applications.
Technological Innovations
Notable innovations include the POLYMATIQ® production machine and WELCOTEC© welding control technology, which ensure high product quality and durability.
Valve Technology
Polyform products feature flexible all-plastic valves, such as the V-10 and V-40, designed for easy inflation and deflation, ensuring air retention and product integrity.
Quality Assurance
Regular destructive testing is conducted to ensure product strength and reliability. Over-inflation is discouraged as it can reduce product strength and void warranties.
Foam Filling Options
Products can be filled with Polystyrene (EPS) or Polyurethane (PUR) foams for added durability and versatility.
Product Specifications
The catalog details various series of buoys and fenders, including the A-series and F-series, each designed for specific maritime applications. The A-series is known for its rib-reinforced ropeholds and seamless construction, while the F-series is recognized for its heavy-duty cylindrical design.
