Polyethylene
Encasement:
ShoreMaster
floats are manufactured from linear, virgin polyethylene resin
containing UV inhibitors and carbon black pigment to protect
against ultra violet degradation. This resin offers a balance
of toughness, rigidity, environmental stress, crack resistance
and low temperature impact performance unmatched by any other
material. A nominal wall thickness of .15” is standard
on all ShoreMaster floats unless a specific wall thickness is
requested.
Shoremaster’s
polyethylene resin is a food grade material in compliance with
the FDA Title 21. As a food grade material, you are ensured
that the float will not contaminate the waterway.
The polyethylene
resin is included in Underwriters Laboratory Class 746C and
flame class UL-94HB. The molded encasements also meet the Hunt
Falling Dart puncture and thickness test.
The polyethylene
shell will conform to the following properties:
