Polyurethane is typically used to make bend stiffeners, which prevent flexible pipelines from overbending at the termination point. A cable Bend Stiffener protects a cable or flow line from over bending and damage due to fatigue.
The cable will be significantly bent and maybe damaged at the point where it connects to the rigid structure in the middle of the ship during the installation and unloading of the cable. BEND STIFFENER was created to reduce this harm.
With more than 10 years experience in subsea cable protection system, Philson has produced a wide range of bend stiffeners for cables, flexible pipelines, and umbilicals in dynamic applications where continuous protection is essential. Inserts are precision-machined and molded into the stiffeners to meet customer-specific termination requirements. Urethane stiffeners can be formulated in various compounds, offering unmatched tensile and tear properties compared to other elastomers. Cable bend stiffener's flexibility can be fine-tuned to meet specific performance needs.
