Material Composition | Marine environments, industrial zones | Industry: Generic plastic (ASTM D6470) | Our Base: HDPE (ASTM D4459) with 20% UV stabilizer ▲ | Our Advanced: Reinforced HDPE (ASTM D790) ▲▲ (▲ = 30% stronger than Base) |
| | | Enhanced durability and UV resistance for long-term use. | Reinforced HDPE may increase weight and cost. |
Buoyancy | Floating docks in waterways | Industry: 12 lbs/cubic ft (ISO 2281) | Our Base: 15 lbs/cubic ft (ISO 2281) ▲ | Our Advanced: 18 lbs/cubic ft (ISO 2281) ▲▲ (▲ = 25% buoyancy boost) |
| | | Ensures stability in rough waters and heavy loads. | Requires stronger anchoring systems for Advanced versions. |
UV Resistance | Outdoor installations | Industry: 500 hours UV exposure (ASTM G154) | Our Base: 1000 hours UV exposure (ASTM G154) ▲ | Our Advanced: 2000 hours UV exposure (ASTM G154) ▲▲ (▲ = 2x lifespan) |
| | | Reduces degradation from prolonged sunlight exposure. | Advanced versions may have higher upfront costs. |
Load Capacity | High-traffic docks | Industry: 500 lbs/sq ft (ASTM D638) | Our Base: 750 lbs/sq ft (ASTM D638) ▲ | Our Advanced: 1000 lbs/sq ft (ASTM D638) ▲▲ (▲ = 50% load tolerance) |
| | | Supports heavy machinery and vehicles safely. | Higher load capacity adds weight, complicating installation. |
Installation Ease | Quick setup projects | Industry: Bolted connections (ASTM F1852) | Our Base: Interlocking modules ▲ (ASTM F1852) | Our Advanced: Magnetic coupling ▲▲ (ASTM F1852) (▲ = 40% faster assembly) |
| | | Reduces labor time and costs. | Magnetic systems may require periodic lubrication. |
Customization | Aesthetic or functional adaptations | Industry: Limited color options | Our Base: 5 standard colors ▲ | Our Advanced: Custom colors/textures ▲▲ (▲ = 10+ color choices) |
| | | Matches diverse architectural styles or branding needs. | Custom options may extend lead times. |
