Our General Surface Support Buoys are manufactured from a polyethylene thermolaminated foam core, encapsulated within a self-coloured polyurethane outer skin.

All General Surface Support Buoys have a flotation core manufactured from resilient closed cell polyethylene foam, thermolaminated around internal steelwork and encapsulated within a tough, abrasion resistant polyurethane elastomer skin. Use of a polyethylene foam core rather than a conventional polyurethane foam ensures that the buoy will not absorb water even if the skin is punctured, increasing the lifespan of the product and reducing maintenance costs. The resilience of the material and high impact absorption capacity make the buoys self fendering.

The durable and flexible polyurethane elastomer is self coloured and does not attract marine growth. It is resistant to both abrasion and ultraviolet degradation. For extreme operating conditions, the skin can be reinforced to add further strength.
