Material Composition | Marine platforms, docks, walkways | Industry: Polyethylene (ASTM D1248, standard marine material) Our Base: HDPE (ASTM D6222) ▲1 (lighter, 50% stronger PE) Our Advanced: Reinforced HDPE (ASTM D6222 + D6474) ▲2 (UV-resistant, 30% thicker) | HDPE offers superior UV/durability vs standard PE; Advanced resists harsher environments | Advanced versions may cost 20-30% more than industry standard |
Buoyancy Capacity | Floating docks in lakes/rivers | Industry: 500 kg/m² (ISO 9809, baseline standard) Our Base: 600 kg/m² ▲1 (ISO 9809 + 20% boost) Our Advanced: 700 kg/m² ▲2 (ISO 9809 + 40% boost) | Supports heavier loads (e.g., commercial use); Advanced handles industrial traffic | Higher buoyancy may require larger storage space |
Stability Design | Shallow water, uneven lake beds | Industry: Square/rectangular (ISO 12217, common but less stable) Our Base: Hexagonal shape ▲1 (ISO 12217 + 30% stability) Our Advanced: Hexagonal + anti-slip surface ▲2 (ISO 12217 + 50% stability) | Hexagonal reduces tipping risk; Advanced prevents slips in wet conditions | Custom shapes may complicate installation for non-professionals |
Customization Options | Commercial/residential docks | Industry: 2-3 colors, standard sizes (ISO 12217) Our Base: 5 colors, custom lengths ▲1 Our Advanced: 10 colors, custom shapes/sizes ▲2 | Tailor to aesthetics/functional needs (e.g., branded colors for resorts) | Custom orders may add 2-4 weeks to lead times |
Chemical Resistance | Industrial harbors, chemical storage | Industry: Resists 30 chemicals (ASTM D543) Our Base: 50+ chemicals ▲1 (ASTM D543 + 20 chemicals) Our Advanced: 70+ chemicals ▲2 (ASTM D543 + 40 chemicals) | Safe for chemical exposure (e.g., oil terminals); Advanced handles harsher solvents | Advanced materials may be less flexible for bending |
Durability | Long-term marine installations | Industry: 10-year warranty (ISO 12217) Our Base: 15-year warranty ▲1 Our Advanced: 20-year warranty ▲2 | Reduces replacement costs over time; Advanced lasts twice as long as industry average | Higher upfront cost offsets long-term savings |
