With a dual tube design that prevents it from rolling on itself and protects a larger surface area, the Fendertex Tandem Fenders is a specialty option that finds a useful role for many different boaters. Boaters will find them useful when tying a tender to the main yacht, "med tie" or stern tying to a dock when there is a swim platform on the vessel, for the widest points of sailboats, among many other applications. Each fender is constructed of a high-tech polyester textile material on its outer shell, with a welded polyurethane bladder interior. This construction is unlike the common rubber or plastic material of your standard fender, which are just heavy, cumbersome, and difficult to store. These fenders are much easier for kids and smaller crew members to use, especially with larger fender sizes, and compact themselves down to fit in smaller spaces. The outer shell of the Fendertex offers great abrasion resistance, high compression strength, and features a patented salt-resistant knitting which limits abrasion on the hull and paint, keeping your boat protected and in pristine condition. The outershell also is dyed in mass, making them highly resistant to UV degradation and color fading. For the boater that simply wants to make their docking needs more painless, look to the Spherical Fenders from Fendertex to make for a more enjoyable experience while protecting your investment.
Features:
- 316 stainless steel D-ring.
- Suspension strap sewn into a cross for added strength.
- Retention strap to prevent deformation of the collar during compression.
- Highly elastic inflatable inner bladder. Water can be added to act as ballast for the fender.
- A technical textile made from polyester with high abrasion resistance. Does not absorb salt, thus avoiding micro scratches on the hull. Easy to clean with water or in a standard washing machine.
Temperature Resistance:
- Textile Cover: 284°F (140°C) static / 320°F (160°C) dynamic
- Inner Bladder: 293°F (145°C) static / 257°F (125°C) dynamic
