Norfloat International’s RB range of heavy duty inflatable rod mooring buoys have been used by harbours, local authorities, sailing associations and mooring contractors for nearly 50 years. Manufactured from a UV stabilised marine grade PVC, Norfloat International’s inflatable buoys will not degrade. The RB range of mooring buoys can be pressure filled using marine grade polyurethane foam, to a density of 36kg/m3. Chain connection is made through the galvanised 18mm steel rod and forged swivel. The RB range provides reliability, quality and value for money. Special steels designed for corrosive water applications are also available upon request.
Irremovable lettering and numbering can be moulded into the buoys at time of manufacture. This is ideal for identification.
The Norfloat International valve is reliable and effective, allowing easy inflation and deflation, and is sealed using threaded plastic screw which is impossible to cross thread. The plastic design ensures seawater will not cause corrosion.
Norfloat International does not recommend using the large top eye for mooring connection.
