Ecology and Environment
Today humanity is finally thinking about the way it behaves towards nature and everyone is attempting to contribute with a bit of their own ecology (perhaps the sorting of waste).
A huge burden is the greatly widespread use of PVC material for the manufacture of an extensive range of products, including some boats. Phthalates are released from each PVC product which are substances that are very harmful to the human organism. It is now that inflatable Gumotex/INNOVA boats are greatly appreciated, because our materials NITRILON® and NITRILON® Extra which we use to manufacture boats, are not made from PVC.
Our inflatable boats are not made from PVC.
Gently to nature with GUMOTEX boats
Materials we use
NITRILON® DROP-STITCH
Material composition: outer coating based on synthetic rubber (1), anchoring layer (2), high-strength PES cloth (1 100 dTex) (3), anchoring layer (4), natural and synthetic rubber coating (5), natural and synthetic rubber coating (6), anchoring layer (7), top sheet of drop-stitch cloth (8), spacing fibres of drop-stitch cloth (9). Minimum tensile strength is 3 600/3 100 N (20 × 5 cm sample). Minimum weight is 1,270 g/m2.
NITRILON®
Material composition: high-strength PES fabric (1) with outer synthetic rubber coating (2) and inner natural rubber blend coating (3). The material is highly resistant to abrasion, ageing and UV. Tensile strength min. 3 000/3 000 N (sample 20 × 5 cm). Minimum weight 920 g/m2
DOUBLE SIDED - NITRILON®
Material composition: high-strength PES fabric (1) with double sided synthetic rubber coating (2). The material is highly resistant to abrasion, ageing and UV. Tensile strength min. 3 000/3 000 N (sample 20 × 5 cm). Minimum weight 1 192 g/m2 .
NITRILON® - EXTRA
Material composition:high-strength PES fabric (1) with inner and outer layer of synthetic rubber (2) coating and outside NITRILON® EXTRA (3) coating.The top quality material for maximum load and for use in demanding climatic conditions. Tensile strength min. 3 000/3 000 N (sample 20 × 5 cm). Minimum weight 1 487 g/m2.
PES - PUR
Material composition: PES fabric of RIPSTOP (1) type with inner polyurethane layer (2) and Teflon water-repellent finish (3). The material is abrasion, ageing and UV radiation resistant. Minimum pull strength 1 100/900 N (specimen 20 × 5cm).
