Understanding how fender performance is impacted by the manufacturing process
The rubber element is a critical component in developing the characteristics of a marine fender system. The mixing process, the equipment used and the impact of carbon black dispersion on fender quality are all discussed in “Rubber Fenders: Mixing It Up”.
Find out;
- How a Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis test evaluates chemical composition – but doesn’t guarantee final performance
- Why the mixing process and equipment used are critical
- The role that carbon black dispersion has to play in the performance of fenders
- How measuring carbon black dispersion informs modulus value and means more robust specifications
