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

Porous or non porous PTFE coated glass fabrics, adhesive (silicone et acrylic) or non adhesive, bands or full Width Special PTFE products (seal, bands, treatment...).
The non porous adhesive version is used as a release sheet for permanent removal of the components.
The porous version is used as a bleeder. |
|
| Thermoshrinkable peel ply and thermoshrinkable films bands or full width. Hot drying of the laminate. |
|
Complete range of peel plies : from 50 to 125 gr/m2, dyed, white or undyed with stripes, polyamide or polyester, bands or full Width
PA85 is the standard quality, taffeta weave, 85 gr/m2, white with stripes.
Those fabrics are used to impart a textured surface to the moulded component to improve adhesion in secondary bonding or painting.
We are able to manufacture your own peel ply with specific characteristics.
All our peel plies are treated in order to remove all pollutant products
(like silicones for example) which could be find on the laminate. |

INFUPLEX is a multilayer system used in manufacturing processes for vacuum infusion of composite materials.
Vacuum infusion of composite materials involves using a number of vacuum consumables that have an effect on the fabrication and quality
Some of these are used in successive layers, such as peel ply, perforated film, net bleeder, and vacuum-bagging film. Standard procedures involve applying each one separately (e.g., peel ply, perforated film, net bleeder), which can be difficult, especially when moulding is done against a vertical mould (spray glue is required). This type of procedure can result in overlapping on very large parts, or even the omission of a layer. Overlapping can cause deformation on thin parts, creating weak areas, or it can affect the porosity of subsequent layers. Omissions can have dramatic consequences on the moulded part's final properties.
The solution to these problems was created by Diatex in 2007 in the form of INFUPLEX a multilayer system to be laid down on one side of the fibber or on top of the peel ply. The system combines the two above mentioned vacuum consumables into a two-layer unit : the perforated film, permeable to resin and gases; and the net bleeder on top. This easy-to-use solution has eliminated the risk of overlap or of omitted layer.
INFUPLEX is also a very simple solution to apply the bagging materials. Save time and optimise the production with INFUPLEX. |

| BalsaMarine panels have been tested in the Laboratories of Technique du Bois in France, and it is worth noting that the resistance to deflection, or elasticity, is comparable to Okoume plywood, and even greater in the transverse direction. In addition, despite the low density, hardness is equal to about 50% compared to plywood BalsaMarine Panels, with an end grain balsa core, have been developed to provide the user with a strong, lightweight structural panel. Our Composite Panels are 4' x 8' in size and can be produced in-house with a variety of decorative veneers: Teak, Cherry, Afromosia, Maple, Teak & Holly etc. |
