    The marine rubber fender is a very important maintenance item in the ship's post. However, all ships sailing must be equipped with marine fenders, so as to ensure the personal safety of the personnel on the ship.The following introduces the issues that should be paid attention to in the whole process of application of  rubber fenders.


    At ordinary times, pay attention to check whether the fender is damaged, and whether the standard air pressure is normal.Whether there are sharp objects on the surface touched by the fender rope, attention should be paid to prevent damage to the rubber fender. The place where the rubber fender is stored should avoid the pyrogen, and not place it in a place with higher temperature.


    The rubber fender should avoid acid, alkali and alkaline substances and pay attention to its cleanliness.


    Please note: Rubber fenders often need to be in contact with corrosive seawater. The rubber formula contains antioxidants and anti-ozone layer, which can protect the rubber from the oxidation and degradation of ultraviolet rays and ozone, so special maintenance is not required.
