HYTEX PVC Fabric Technical Specifications.

Our inflatable boats and RiBs are all manufactured with hand-laid seams being rather labour intensive. Each seam is strengthened with four layers of bonded fabric for maximum strength and durability. EXCEL seams are virtually indestructible and will not delaminate even after many years of use in any weather although some care must be exercised in long term exposure to Ultra Violet Light. All seams are quadruple overlap for better protection as shown here:
