| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF DOCK BUMPERS AND FENDERS | |
| Material: | EPDM (Ethylene Propylene-Diene-Monomer) |
| Range of Service: | -60° F to 150°F (continuous duty) |
| Durometer: | 70±5 shore "A" scale |
| Compression Recovery: | Instantaneous recovery of 90-95% is observed over a 20,000 to 200,000 lb. static load on one foot sample lengths of designated cross-sections. Samples have been compressed 70% by overall height without any damage. |
| Impact Resiliency: | As a function of fendering cross-section, high reaction loads with large energy absorptions have been transmitted with no damage experienced. |
| Shear Strength: | For rubber and rubber-like materials, average shear strength is usually taken as 50% of tensile or compressive strength as per application. |
| Water Absorption: | Negligible. |
| Life: | Excellent for weather condition in ozone. |
