What is a Rubber B Fender?
A Rubber B Fender, also known as a Double D Fender, is a robust rubber extrusion designed to absorb and distribute heavy impacts. Widely used in marine and industrial environments, these fenders help protect vehicles, vessels, and structures from collision damage.
Manufactured from solid EPDM or Neoprene rubber, their distinctive “B” or “D” profile offers excellent energy absorption and simple installation using a pre-drilled stainless steel fixing strip.
Ideal for both internal and external use, B Fenders provide long-lasting protection against impacts, abrasion, and harsh environmental conditions.
Key Properties & Benefits
- Superior Impact Absorption – the unique hollow shape efficiently absorbs and disperses energy from collisions.
- Durable Construction – made from high-quality EPDM or Neoprene rubber with excellent resistance to UV, ozone, seawater, and weathering.
- Easy Installation – supplied with a pre-punched stainless steel fixing strip for quick, secure mounting.
- Versatile Use – suitable for marine, industrial, and automotive environments to prevent damage from contact or abrasion.
Typical Applications
- Marine – installed on boats, quays, docks, and pontoons to prevent hull and structure damage.
- Industrial – used on warehouse walls, factory loading bays, and platforms to protect against vehicle or equipment contact.
- Automotive – fitted to vans, lorries, and loading bays to safeguard vehicle sides and edges.
