How to Repair A Broken Ship Launching Airbag

Now the quality requirements of ship supplies are getting higher and higher, because there are more and more accidents on board. Some ship supplies are not disposable or thrown away when they are broken. Marine launching airbags, as crew safety supplies, may encounter punctures, scratches, abrasions, etc. during use, and the airbags cannot be used normally due to gas leakage.

How to repair a broken marine airbag? Marine airbags are mainly composed of natural rubber-based mixed rubber and nylon cords, so we can use some methods to repair them.

Marine launching airbags are made of tough nylon dipped cords, with thick texture and strong tensile strength. Generally, they will not be damaged within the normal service life. However, sometimes during the launching process, the customer does not clean the site, causing the airbag to be cut by sharp iron sheets and other objects. So it needs to be repaired. How to repair a broken airbag?

1. Leakage at the edge of the airbag mouth and airbag flange
   This situation is mostly caused by excessive extrusion and collision, and is generally repaired by cold bonding and adding raw rubber pads.
   A. Cold bonding method: remove the flange, polish the leaking area (with gauze, etc.), clean it, apply adhesive, cut a rubber sheet of appropriate size (such as car inner tube, etc.), polish it and paste it, then fix the flange and tighten it.
   B. Adding raw rubber pad method: prepare a 20mm thick raw rubber sheet (raw rubber sheet generally uses raw rubber sheet with similar physical properties to rubber materials such as car tires). Remove the airbag flange, clean the leaking area, cut the appropriate size to block the leaking area, and then cut a piece of rubber sheet of the same size as the flange. According to the size of the airbag flange screw, dig a hole in the area and paste it on the airbag, put on the flange, and tighten it.
2. Leakage of the airbag body
   This situation is mostly caused by collision and contact with sharp objects during use. Generally, cold bonding and hot patching are used.
   A. Cold bonding method: prepare elastic cooked rubber sheets such as car inner tubes, polish them clean, and treat the damaged leaking area in the same way. Use an adhesive with high bonding strength and water resistance to paste and compact it.
   B. Hot patching method: generally suitable for larger cuts. If the cut is less than 80mm, it can be repaired on site.
