RED TIRE REPAIR KIT

Function and technical context

This repair kit for inflatable boats in red brings together all the elements necessary to seal and restore the structural integrity of inflatable tubes damaged by cuts, punctures or abrasions. It works directly on the boat's buoyancy system, which constitutes the most critical passive safety element in areas bathed in salt water or subjected to intensive use. Without correct repair of the air chamber, the boat progressively loses lift, compromising the stability and safety of the people on board. The SOR74340 reference kit is formulated with materials compatible with red PVC tarpaulins, guaranteeing optimal adhesion and a long-lasting repair that resists humidity, UV radiation and pressure variations typical of navigation.

When to replace or use this part?

The most common signs that indicate the need to use this kit are the visible and progressive loss of pressure in one or more inflatable tubes, the detection of bubbles when submerging the suspicious area in water, or the presence of superficial cuts and tears in the canvas. It is recommended to inspect the condition of the tubes at the beginning and end of each season, as well as after any contact with rocks, docks or abrasive surfaces. Carrying out the repair preventively as soon as the first symptom appears prevents the affected area from spreading and a minor breakdown ending up requiring the complete replacement of the tube while sailing.
