Premium Hose Floats for Dredging Pipelines
Hongruntong Marine offers top-quality Hose Floats, purpose-built to provide reliable buoyancy for floating pipelines in dredging and marine operations. These floats are constructed with a tough HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) outer shell, ensuring excellent resistance to UV rays, saltwater, and abrasion. Inside, the EPS Foam (Expanded Polystyrene) core delivers superior floatation and lightweight strength, making these floats ideal for harsh marine environments.
Designed with efficiency and durability in mind, our hose floats help keep pipelines stable and aligned, reducing wear and maximizing operational uptime. With 35 years of manufacturing expertise, Hongruntong Marine continues to provide trusted solutions for the dredging and marine industries worldwide.
