Abstract

Marine fender prototypes play a critical role in protecting the ship and the berthing infrastructure from damage during docking. Recycling waste polymers, such as waste tires, into composite materials for marine fenders, can contribute to environmental sustainability and resource conservation. In marine Fender applications, compression testing often plays a crucial role; we should also test factors such as elasticity, stiffness, and hardness. In this study, pressure and hardness were selected, and Young's modulus was calculated for two types of composite materials: one manufactured from waste tires and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and the other from waste tires and room-temperature vulcanized (RTV) silicone both in varying proportions. These types of materials were produced using a press machine equipped with a PID controller, which enables the adjustment of the temperature to a desired value, thereby achieving the best results. Prototypes containing 85% waste tire with 15% HDPE and 50% waste tire with 50% RTV silicone showed superior energy absorption and durability for marine fender applications. Despite achieving satisfactory hardness and hardness values, the waste tire and RTV silicone composite did not exceed those of the waste tire and HDPE composites, which had Young's modulus and Shore hardness values of 1.74 MPa and 56.6, respectively. The compression test showed that the waste tire and RTV silicone composites achieved higher values, surpassing 1990 kN. The findings provide a crucial foundation for utilizing waste composite materials in marine fender production.
