Flexible, the inflatable boat means the boat will inflate and deflate, when the boat has been produced, it will be folded in a carton or bag for package and sales, the flexibility of the fabric is able to make the boat able to fold thousands times without creases. Also the flexibility means the level of raw material use, when there is a high level of PVC and plasticizer used with good technology of PVC coating, it will comes with good flexibility.

No curve on weft direction, The PVC boat fabric has its frame layer of base cloth made by polyester, it weaved with weft and warp direction, weft is fabric width direction and warp is fabric length direction. to make a inflatable boat, during the process of fabrication, when there is curve on base cloth, it will bring a not straight shape for the boat tubes, this will be effect the looking of boat and not stable(deformity).

Good for gluing or welding. The produce of PVC coated fabric is also a kind of chemical composition, a experience factory know how to make the fabric good for welding by hot air and high frequency or hot wedge welding, as well as for gluing.

High airtightness, this is the most important for the safety of inflatable boat and longer the time to use after inflate.

For example for the PVC halls, it should have a PVC coating material of at least 900g/m².

As these types of constructions are classified under B1 or Bs2d0, PVC must be varnished with fireproof varnish. Otherwise, there will be problems in obtaining a permit for the building.B1 or Bs2d0, Fire-safety class also requires that PVC material must have a fire-resistance certificate. Fire resistance is achieved either with varnish or with one component of PVC mass. Different manufacturers take different approaches. Truck tarpaulins, slurry tank covers, and other non-construction PVC coatings are made with very less fire proof ability when there is no further request. They are not suitable fabric for PVC halls, which is used as a warehouse.
