Hypalon from ORCA
Orca® is designed for extreme conditions, for stronger performance, higher reliability and longer durability. We only build tubes in Hypalon for these reasons.
Orca coated fabrics, available in 30 different colours and 4 surface finishings
There are three types of material used to manufacture RIB tubes, PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), Polyurethane and Hypalon. Manufacturing collars in PVC is a cheaper option as the process of building relies on the application of heat to seal the joints, although we can use PVC glue to repair tubes. Usually PVC is the prefered choice for mass produced RIBs.
Hypalon is the preferred material for those who require stronger performance and durability whether a commercial application using the higher Orca 866 heavy duty or leisure craft using the standard Orca 828 fabric.
The choice is simple. Hypalon !
