Pipe floats are always used with HDPE pipe and rubber hoses to provide great buoyancy. The shell of pipe floats is made of polythene, filling with PU foam. As the floating bodies of discharge hose on the water, it has the advantage of high float load capacity, shock resistance, aging resistance, and so on. It is the ideal substitute products for traditional float pontoon.

Performance of pipe floats
- Lightweight and large buoyancy
- Sunlight/ozone/seawater resistant
- Easy to install and low cost for maintaining
- Working temperature: -60-80℃
- Match with HDPE pipe, steel pipe, cable, and so on
Applications of pipe floats
- Connected with HDPE pipe, steel pipe, and rubber hose on the dredging project
- Protect cables during working
- Used as sinker stone by filling sand inside empty PE float
Storage and transportation of dredging pipe float:
- The PE floats should be kept away from fire and corrosive substance
- When not use, the floats should be stored in the clean and dry warehouse
- During transportation, if ship by LCL, the floats should be packed with wooden boxes and plastic bags or PE membranes. If ship by full container, no package is OK, but it is better to pack with plastic cloth.
