The origin of the inflatable boat is military, but, for the last 50 years, its development is primarily situated in leisure and professional boating. This evolution has been possible due to the improvement of materials and inflatable boat design.
Coated fabrics have known some spectacular perfectioning, from cotton, a natural fiber, to synthetic fibers of high durability, such as polyamide or polyester.
The coating which protects the textile and assures the air-tightness has equally known large revolutions, passing from natural rubber, sensitive to aging, to synthetic Neoprene and Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene (CSM) rubber; incontestably the most resistant product used in the profession today.
PENNEL & FLIPO has not only followed the progress, but for the last 40 years has provoked it and occupied the position as leader in the production of fabrics destined for the inflatable. The result has been obtained by the ideology, which relies on three principles:
QUALITY
RELIABILITY
DURABILITY

The versatility of glass as a fiber makes it a unique industrial textile material. Fiber glass in fabric form offers an excellent combination of properties from high strength to fire resistance. Wide ranges of yarn sizes and weave patterns provide huge number of design potential allowing the end user to choose the best combination for material performance, economics and product flexibility.

Finding its origin in the velvet weaving industry, Parabeam® 3D Glass Fabric is a fabric woven out of a 100% E-glass yarn and consists of two decklayers bonded together by vertical piles. These piles are woven into the decklayers thus forming an integral sandwich structure.
We can distinguish two directions in the fabric: warp and weft. The warp direction can be recognised by the length of the roll and the eight-shaped piles. The weft direction can be recognised by the width of the roll and the I-shaped piles.

FR E-glass chopped strand mat is a multi-compatible chopped strand mat designed for use in polyester, vinyl ester and Epoxy resin systems. It is made from fiberglass strands chopped to 25 or 50mm length and bonded together with polyester powder binder. Typical products include boats, swimming pools, corrosion resistant equipments, storage tanks, etc.
Properties: ¡¤Uniform thickness
¡¤Easy wet-out
¡¤Good covering and degassing properties
¡¤Good mold conformability
¡¤High wet-strength retention
¡¤High translucency and smooth surface of laminates

Hexcel manufactures a complete line of HexForceTM woven and non-crimp fabrics from carbon fiber. The range includes traditional fabrics (3K, 6K, 12K, 24K), flat-tow 12K and heatset-unit fabrics, plus non-crimp, multiaxial reinforcements.
Hexcel's carbon fabrics meet the specification requriements of BMS 9-8 as well as other major aerospace manufacturers' specifications for carbon fabric. These fabrics use fibers that are produced under stringently controlled conditions, extensive testing and documentation.
Our commercial carbon fabrics utilise many of the same carbon fibers that have been produced with less extensive testing and documentation. Standard Modulus carbon fiber, supplied to the commercial market, yields typical property values of 530KSI (GPA) for tensile strength and 34 MSI for tensile modulus. Higher performance carbon fabrics with increased tensile and modulus properties are available from Hexcel for special applications.

HexPly® prepregs are specially formulated resin matrix systems, that are reinforced with man-made fibers such as carbon, glass and aramid. When cured at elevated temperatures, the themoset resin undergoes a chemical reaction that transforms the prepreg into a solid structural material that is highly durable, temperature resistant, exceptionally stiff and lightweight.
Initially developed for the aerospace industry, HexPly® prepregs are now used in a wide range of applications - from golf clubs to satellite arrays, and from wind turbine rotor blades to life-saving Formula 1 monocoques. Hexcel has its own in-house supply of carbon fiber and world class weaving facilities for the development of optimum reinforcement technologies to complement the prepreg resin formulations.
Prepregs are supplied to customers in roll form, to be stored frozen and defrosted before use. When cured at elevated temperatures and under pressure, prepregs form molded components that are extremely strong and stiff. A broad range of formulated resins are used to impregnate the woven and unidirectional reinforcements.
Epoxy resins provide the highest levels of toughness and good environmental resistance. Phenolic resins provide fire-resistance and bismaleimide resins provide high temperature resistance. Cyanate esters provide excellent dimensional stability and are used primarily for satellite applications.
