Polyurethane is a synthetic material with increased elasticity and wear resistance. It is used to manufacture fender systems – rubbing strakes and fenders. These are essential for protecting ship hulls and berths during docking and mooring in ports.

In this field, polyurethane has successfully replaced rubber thanks to its huge number of positive attributes. It withstands high mechanical and dynamic loads, is unaffected by temperature fluctuations, and does not corrode. Using polyurethane for berth and port equipment works well because the material stands up to contact with various destructive agents. These include:

This field of activity places the following requirements on the materials used:

Polyurethane — a new-generation material that has found wide application across many industries and in berth equipment — possesses all of these qualities.
