Ultra Violet, Ozone and Weather resistance
Natural aging or oxidation of rubber products is accelerated out of doors by the sun’s heat and ultraviolet rays.
Tests show Hypalon Inflatables have a slow rate of oxidation degradation.
Thanks to the exceptional characteristics of its outer layer which protects from ageing,
Hypalon coated Inflatable Tubes offer a wide range of light fast colours.
Under actual exposure conditions, coated fabric samples of Hypalon were weathered for more than 10 years without any noticeable discoloration.
Fire resistance
Thanks to the rubber base, Hypalon Inflatable tubes retain all of their properties even when accidentally exposed to excessive heat.
Mechanical resistance
The combination of a high tenacity fabric and an outstanding coating, give Hypalon Inflatable Tubes a very high level of mechanical resistance.
Abrasion resistance
The chemical formula of the Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene (CSM) layer makes Hypalon Inflatable Tubes very abrasive resistant.
Hydrocarbon resistance
Thanks to its outstanding quality and performance, Hypalon is highly recommended for antipollution barriers and oil recovery barges.
This assures you that Hypalon Inflatables are resistant oils in surface water or spillage onboard.
Extreme condition resistance
Hypalon is intended for the leisure, professional and military markets. It meets the highest requirements for safe navigation in the most extreme conditions.
Flexibility
Their flexibility permitting an easy manufacturing and nice curves and cores.
Gluability
Hypalon Inflatable tubes are easily glued with the correct Neoprene glues, making them relatively simple
to repair providing the correct preparation is observed.
