Pipe float (Polythene float or pipe floater) shell is polythene, filling in polymer foam body. As the floating bodies of discharge hoses, 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.
The polyethylene foam float usually covers outside the HDPE pipe and rubber hoses to provide great buoyancy.
