- Adhesion Strength: ≥ 100 N/5cm (coating to fabric)
- Flame Retardancy: Optional (meets various standards)
Parameter Analysis
- Thickness (0.9mm): Provides a balance of flexibility and rigidity, making it easy to handle while offering sufficient puncture resistance for recreational and professional use.
- Tensile and Tear Strength: The high tensile and tear values ensure the fabric withstands stress from water pressure, impacts, and handling.
- Adhesion Strength: Strong adhesion between the PVC coating and the polyester base prevents delamination, even under prolonged exposure to water and sunlight.
- Flame Retardancy: Optional treatment enhances safety in marine environments.
Application Scenarios
- Inflatable Boats: Ideal for hulls, tubes, and air chambers.
- Kayaks and Canoes: Lightweight yet durable for paddling crafts.
- Rafts and Dinghies: Suitable for rescue, leisure, and commercial use.
- Repair Patches: Used for patching and reinforcing existing inflatable products.
Installation Guide
- Cutting: Use sharp tools to cut the fabric to the desired shape, allowing for seam allowances.
- Welding: Use hot air welding or high-frequency welding equipment to join panels. Ensure surfaces are clean and dry.
- Sealing: Apply PVC adhesive or sealant to seams for extra watertightness.
- Valve Installation: Attach valves according to manufacturer instructions, ensuring airtight seals.
Usage Method
- Inflate the boat to the recommended pressure (usually 0.25–0.3 bar for tubes).
- Avoid over-inflation, which can stress the fabric.
- Use on clean water surfaces to minimize abrasion.
- Follow local regulations for safe operation.
Maintenance Advice
- Rinse with fresh water after each use in saltwater.
- Dry thoroughly before storage to prevent mildew.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Inspect regularly for signs of wear or damage.
Repair Tips
- Clean the damaged area and cut a patch larger than the damaged spot.
- Apply PVC adhesive to both surfaces, press firmly, and allow to cure.
- For small punctures, use a repair kit with PVC patches and glue.
Procurement Advice
- Specify your required width, color, and any special treatments (e.g., flame retardant).
- Request samples for testing before bulk order.
- Consider minimum order quantities and lead times.
- Verify compliance with relevant marine standards if required.
Packaging List
- Rolls of fabric (typically 50–100 meters per roll)
- Protective wrapping (kraft paper or PE film)
- Packing list and quality certificate
