The Floating-type Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fenders are kind of a cylindrical air bag with hemispherical heads at both ends. Basic body construction of this fender consists of an outer rubber layer, cord layers and an inner rubber layer. All of these are vulcanized together, and then proven by hydraulic pressure test.
Outer Rubber
The outer rubber layer protects the cord layers and inner rubber layer from abrasion and other external forces. This compound has sufficient tensile and tear strength to withstand any weather condition and hard usage. Standard color is black, but other colors such as grey and creamy white are available on request.

Synthetic-tire-cord Layer
The reinforcement cord layers, which are made of Synthetic-tire-cord, are arranged at ideal angles to hold the internal pressure and to distribute the stress evenly. As the main fibers of the synthetic-tire-cord are not braided like synthetic canvas fabric or synthetic belt fabric, there are advantages for its fatigue-resistance performance and pressure-holding performance.
Inner Rubber
The inner rubber layer seals the air inside, utilizing a compound equivalent to that of the liner or tube of an automobile tire.
