BLACK HYPALON REPAIR KIT

Function and technical context

Hypalon is the reference material in the construction of professional range inflatable boats and semi-rigid boats (RIB), recognized for its resistance to UV rays, chemicals and the extreme conditions of the marine environment. This specific repair kit for black hypalon allows you to restore the structural integrity of the float tubes, repairing tears, perforations, abrasions or detachments in the joints of the air chambers. Unlike universal adhesives or patches, the components of this kit are formulated to guarantee long-lasting adhesion and full chemical compatibility with the hypalon fabric, avoiding air leaks that compromise the buoyancy and safety of the boat. An incorrect repair or repair with incompatible materials can lead to progressive failure of the chamber, with loss of pressure during navigation and real risk for the occupants.

When to replace or use this part?

Symptoms that indicate the need to repair hypalon tubes include gradual loss of pressure in the chambers without apparent cause, visible bubbling when submerging the area in water, peeling or lifting of previous patches, or the presence of cracks and superficial abrasions that may progress to perforations. It is recommended to visually inspect the condition of the tubes at the beginning and end of each nautical season, as well as after any grounding or contact with abrasive surfaces. Applying this repair kit as soon as damage is detected – even on small defects – prevents the affected area from spreading and a simple repair from becoming an expensive intervention or a complete replacement of the tube.
