Fender having blended crystalline polyethylene impact layer

摘要

The present invention provides a novel fender, which has a sufficient shock absorbing action to a ship and is capable of dispersing compressive force when a ship comes alongside at a pier and reducing the friction force when a ship is moored at a pier. The fender of the present invention comprises a fender body (10), and a surface layer (16) with which at least an impact receiving surface of this fender body (10) is coated, wherein the surface layer (16) is made of a blended polymer of a crystalline polyolefin resin and a diene rubber and the proportion of the crystalline polyolefin resin in the blended polymer exceeds 50% by weight and not more than 85% by weight.
