Product catalog summary
Product Overview
The Polyform® SMB100 modular buoyancy system is designed for both submerged and surface applications. It features a rotomolded polyethylene (PE) outer shell filled with polyurethane (PUR) foam, providing compressive strength suitable for various depth ratings. The buoy is equipped with a high-quality chain terminated by hot dip galvanized steel discs to prevent damage, and it can be easily attached to an anchor line using a shackle. For enhanced visibility, the buoy can be fitted with four yellow, daylight reflective tapes.
Company Background
Polyform AS, based in Ålesund, Norway, is a leading manufacturer of buoys, fenders, and floats. Known for pioneering the modern inflatable plastic buoy, the company operates in a highly innovative maritime environment. Their product range includes inflatable buoys and fenders made from soft vinyl plastics, purse seine floats, and hard-shell buoys made from PE filled with foam.
Technical Specifications
The SMB100 consists of four modules with gross dimensions of 77x77x84 cm. It is available in different models with varying depth ratings (-10 m, -100 m, -250 m, -500 m), each with a gross volume of 440 liters. The weight ranges from 83 kg to 222 kg, and net buoyancy varies from 357 kg to 215 kg depending on the depth rating. The PU core density increases with depth rating, from 50 kg/m³ to 400 kg/m³.
Material and Performance
The buoy body is made from linear low-density polyethylene (LLPE) with a hardness of Shore D 57, tensile strength of 17.5 MPa, and ultimate elongation of 650%. It is recommended for use in temperatures ranging from -25°C to 40°C, with a maximum temperature limit of 50°C. The specific gravity of the material is 0.94.
Additional Information
The breaking load of the chain is 260 KN. All measurements and weights have a deviation tolerance of +/-5%. Illustrations may differ from the actual product.
