The Sandow Temano®: an innovation for moorings with retractable lines
Made from natural rubber and protected by a technical sheath, the Temano® bungee cord offers numerous advantages and features suited to marine environments.
- Long-lasting protection against UV rays and fouling
- Wide elastic operating range: 100 to 300%
- High mechanical strength
The result: no more chains. The retractable mooring line remains taut and straight, regardless of the tide, without ever touching the seabed.
No chafing, no impact on underwater habitats.
Its major advantages:
Keeps the buoy permanently above its anchorage
Reduces the turning radius
Lightweight and easy to handle
Adaptable to mooring buoys and Temano® anchors
Reduction in shocks and tension peaks
Adjustable performance: depending on the sheath chosen, the bungee cord has a variable elongation margin and a higher or lower resistance.
Technical customisation: possibility of adjusting the hardness of the material (e.g. 45 Shore A, 60 Shore A, etc.) as well as the cross-section to suit each specific need.
Applications far beyond mooring:
Elastic mooring lines that absorb shocks between boats and pontoons
Floating structures (modular pontoons, offshore platforms, technical rafts)
Tensioners and retaining devices for marine or port installations
And more broadly, any situation requiring shock absorption, flexibility and durability in a marine environment
Temano® bungee cord combines innovation, adaptability and respect for the marine environment, offering a sustainable solution for nautical professionals and port infrastructure managers.
