GREY TIRE REPAIR KIT

Function and technical context

Inflatable and semi-rigid boats are made with air chambers that, with continued use and exposure to the elements, can suffer perforations, punctures or separations in the seams of the fabric. This gray inflatable repair kit provides all the necessary components to permanently seal any damage to the canvas or float chamber material, restoring the watertightness and structural integrity of the boat. The reference SOR74330 is formulated to adhere correctly to the synthetic materials commonly used in the construction of inflatables, guaranteeing a repair that is resistant to both immersion and temperature changes typical of the marine environment. Keeping the flotation chamber in perfect condition is not a question of aesthetics, but of active safety: loss of pressure in a chamber compromises the stability, loading capacity and navigability of the boat.

When to replace or use this part?

The most common symptoms that indicate the need to resort to a repair kit are the progressive loss of pressure in one or more chambers, the appearance of bubbles when the suspect area is submerged in water, or the visual detection of cuts, deep scratches and seam detachments on the canvas. It is recommended that the integrity of all cameras be visually inspected at the beginning and end of each boating season, as well as after any grounding or contact with abrasive surfaces. Carrying out the repair immediately after detecting the fault, instead of postponing the intervention, prevents a small perforation from becoming a major damage that requires replacing entire panels or, in the worst case, compromising the safety of the crew while sailing.
