PVC or Hypalon – How do I know what material my boat is made of?
If you are planning to repair or glue something to a RIB or inflatable boat, it is important to find out what type of fabric your boat is made of, as choosing the right glue depends on the material.
There are two main types of boat fabrics: PVC and Hypalon (rubber/neoprene). Here are a few ways to identify what type of fabric your boat is made of.
- Back of the fabric: PVC fabric has the same color on both sides. Hypalon fabric has different colors on the front and back. The back is dark gray or black.
- Sandpaper test: Sand the fabric with sandpaper. Hypalon material becomes dull and dull, leaving a dusty, velvety surface. With PVC, sandpaper leaves scratches and the surface remains shiny, with no discoloration at the sanding point.
