Material Composition | Long-term marine exposure | Industry Standard: PVC (15 years UV resistance) ▲ Our Base: HDPE (25 years) ▲ Our Advanced: HDPE+UV Coating (35 years) (ASTM G154) | Extended lifespan in sunlight; chemical resistance | Higher cost for advanced UV-coated variants |
Buoyancy Capacity | Supporting heavy navigation equipment | Industry Standard: 500 kg (ISO 9809) ▲ Our Base: 600 kg ▲ Our Advanced: 700 kg (ISO 9809) | Supports heavier payloads; stable in rough seas | Larger size may complicate deployment; requires stronger anchoring systems |
Visibility System | Low-light navigation | Industry Standard: Reflective tape (100 cd) ▲ Our Base: LED (500 cd) ▲ Our Advanced: Solar LED (1000 cd, IEC 60598) | Enhanced nighttime visibility; solar-powered for maintenance-free operation | LED systems require periodic battery checks; reflective tape less effective |
Abrasion Resistance | High-traffic marine zones | Industry Standard: 100 cycles (ASTM D3389) ▲ Our Base: 200 cycles ▲ Our Advanced: 300 cycles (ASTM D3389) | Reduced surface wear from frequent contact with vessels or debris | More rigid materials may limit flexibility in certain applications |
Mooring System Strength | Harsh tidal environments | Industry Standard: 5 kN chain (ISO 13298) ▲ Our Base: 8 kN ▲ Our Advanced: 12 kN (ISO 13298) | Secure anchoring in strong currents; prevents buoy displacement | Heavier chains require stronger handling equipment; higher material costs |
Saltwater Corrosion Resistance | Coastal regions with high salinity | Industry Standard: 500 hours (ASTM B117) ▲ Our Base: 1000 hours ▲ Our Advanced: 1500 hours (ASTM B117) | Longer service life in saline conditions; minimizes rust and pitting | Advanced coatings add complexity to manufacturing and repair processes |
