HDPE Plastic Water Surface Floating Marker Ball Buoy
HDPE Plastic Water Surface Floating Marker Ball Buoy is made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE, content ≥ 95%) as the main raw material through blow molding process; It can be connected, fixed, combined and installed into various shapes with the help of other metal or plastic accessories (pins) according to actual needs or engineering design, and can be used for floating products in wharf, floating bridges, oil platforms, deep-sea aquaculture farms and other places.
Structural composition
1.Housing: Usually made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials, such as reinforced polyurethane elastomer, linear polyethylene (LLDPE), etc.. The outer layer of the enhanced polyurethane elastomer has high wear resistance, fatigue resistance and UV degradation resistance, which can protect the internal structure from Marine environment erosion; The LLDPE shell has the characteristics of high gloss, high strength, bright color, anti-impact, etc.
2.Foam filling layer: Generally use closed cell PE/EVA elastic foam and other materials. The foam is impermeable, high-strength and provides good buoyancy and cushioning properties, even if the shell is punctured, the buoy will not absorb water and sink.
3.Internal steel core and connectors: Some floats have an internal steel core to provide better support and balance. Both ends are equipped with various connectors, such as galvanized or painted steel rings, cross-shaped connectors, quick release hooks, etc., for connection with mooring chains, anchors and other equipment.
Characteristic advantage
1.Excellent buoyancy performance: The low density of the foam filler material provides high buoyancy, ensuring that the float is stable in various sea conditions, carrying a certain weight of load or providing mooring support for the ship.
2.High impact resistance: the shell material has high strength and good toughness, and the internal foam can absorb and disperse the impact force, even if it is subjected to ship collision or wave impact, it is not easy to damage, and can effectively protect itself and surrounding facilities.
3.Good corrosion resistance: the material used in the shell itself is resistant to corrosion, and does not react chemically with seawater, without frequent anti-corrosion treatment, and can be used for a long time in harsh Marine environments.
4.Easy to operate and maintain: relatively light weight, easy to install, disassemble and move, maintenance work is mainly to regularly check whether the shell is damaged, whether the connector is firm, low maintenance costs.
5.Good visibility: The surface is usually painted with eye-catching colors, such as yellow, orange, etc., and some are also installed with lighting equipment or reflective materials, which can be easily identified at night or in low visibility conditions.
Application field
1.Mooring field: As an important auxiliary equipment for ship mooring, it provides reliable mooring points for ships, which is easy for ships to dock and fix, and is widely used in ports, docks, yacht clubs and other places.
2.Channel identification: can be used to mark the channel boundary, shoals, reefs and other dangerous areas, guide the safe navigation of ships, and ensure the navigation safety of the channel.
3.Offshore engineering: used in the construction and operation of offshore oil platforms, offshore wind power facilities, etc., to mark construction areas, isolate hazardous areas, or serve as positioning and connection points for offshore equipment.
4.Marine monitoring: Equipped with Marine monitoring instruments, such as measuring seawater temperature, salinity, flow rate and other parameters of equipment, used to collect Marine environmental data, to provide support for Marine scientific research and weather forecasting.

Q1: What are the main functions of an offshore mooring steel buoy?
A: The primary functions include serving as a mooring point for vessels, marking important maritime positions (such as channels or hazards), and assisting in navigation. Some buoys can also be used to house monitoring equipment for environmental data collection.
Q2: How are offshore mooring steel buoys anchored?
A: They are usually anchored to the seabed using heavy - duty chains, ropes, or cables connected to anchors like drag - embedment anchors or suction - pile anchors. The type of anchoring system depends on the seabed conditions and the buoy's size and load requirements.
Q3: How do you protect offshore mooring steel buoys from corrosion?
A: Multiple methods are employed. Surface coatings like epoxy paints, zinc - rich primers, or hot - dip galvanization are commonly used. Additionally, sacrificial anodes may be attached to the buoy; these anodes corrode instead of the steel, thereby protecting the buoy structure.
Q4: Can offshore mooring steel buoys withstand severe weather conditions?
A: Yes, they are engineered to endure harsh marine environments, including strong storms, high waves, and extreme winds. Their robust steel construction, combined with proper ballasting and anchoring, allows them to maintain stability during adverse weather.
Q5: What determines the size of an offshore mooring steel buoy?
A: Several factors play a role, such as the intended use (e.g., for small boats or large tankers), the water depth of the mooring area, the expected loads from vessels, and the environmental conditions of the location. Larger buoys are generally needed for deeper waters and heavier loads.
Q6: Are offshore mooring steel buoys easy to maintain?
A: While they are durable, maintenance is still required. Regular inspections are needed to check for signs of corrosion, damage to the mooring hardware, or malfunction of additional equipment (like lights). Anti - corrosion coatings may need periodic touch - ups, and worn - out components should be replaced promptly.
Q7: Do offshore mooring steel buoys have any environmental impact?
A: When properly maintained and disposed of at the end of their life cycle, the environmental impact is minimal. However, if not managed correctly, rust and debris from corroded buoys can potentially affect marine life, and improper disposal can contribute to marine pollution.
Q8: Can offshore mooring steel buoys be customized?
A: Yes, they can be customized according to specific requirements. This may include adding specialized mooring fixtures, integrating different types of monitoring devices, modifying the shape or size, or applying unique paint schemes for identification purposes.
