ocean floating ball for the ship to determine the position and direction ocean floating ball

Ocean floating ball is a buoy which is set up on the water. It is used for the ship to determine the position, direction, avoid danger and make the safe navigation along the waterway or course as navigation aids by specific signs, lighting, sound, radio signal, etc. With the development of Marine economy in China, there is a growing demand for the ocean floating balls in every port and channel. Most traditional ocean floating balls are made of EVA, PE, PVC and other materials which are smelly and environmentally harmful during the forming process. They often have poor corrosion resistance, poor impact resistance and short service life. The harmful substances decomposed by these materials after corrosion are not conducive to water protection.

It also takes a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to send vessels and personnel to inspect and replace the floating balls in the whole channel periodically.

Ningbo GMF New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. has been committed to the research and development of E-TPU materials for many years. The research shows that, compared to the traditional materials, ocean floating balls which are made of E-TPU special polyether materials have better corrosion resistance, toughness, and higher energy storage modulus that can withstand the changes of natural environment such as sea water and low temperature invasion. Besides, the balls also have better shock resistance and wind-wave resistance. The material itself and the whole process of molding process are friendly to the environment. In the field of ocean floating ball material, it has great potential.

Founded in 2013, Ningbo GMF New Material Technology Co., Ltd. is a new high-tech enterprise founded by Dr. Qin Liu in
CIXI, NINGBO. The company mainly carries out TPU foaming technology, material (industry commonly known as "popcorn") and terminal application of TPU foaming material in research, production and sales. The new E-TPU material researched by Ningbo GMF New Material Technology Co., Ltd has the characteristics of ultra light density, high resilience and high wear
resistance. It also has remarkable advantages in low temperature, environmental protection and yellowing resistance(up to level 4).The new material can be applied to shoe material industry, exercising runway, protector, cushion gaskets,
packaging materials and tires, etc..So it has a good development prospect.

The company has modern E-TPU production line with independent intellectual property rights and has introduced E-TPU
molding production line in 2018. While providing customized E-TPU special materials to customers, the company can also directly provide E-TPU molding products according to customer requirements.

The company adheres to the tenet of unity cooperation, development of integrity and diamond quality. It creates real value
for customers, the development chance for staff, long-team benefits for investors. Working together to create a better
future!
