Materials used in the manufacture of Russian-made inflatable boats

Just like all over the world, at Russian enterprises manufacturing inflatable boats, the main production material is PVC - polyvinyl chloride and synthetic fabrics.

Fabrics determine the elasticity of the structure, for example, polyester fabric is stiffer than polyamide fabric. The elasticity of the polyamide fabric gives it better performance in tensile tests.

By itself, polyvinyl chloride is a solid, but with the addition of polyurethane, the alloy becomes acceptable for making strong and flexible inflatable boats.

For the manufacture of inflatable boats, a 5-7 multi-layer sandwich made of fabric and a mixture of PVC and polyurethane is used. This material is well glued, boiled and vulcanized. By the way, the patch on glue holds better than after vulcanization.

How to choose the right Russian-made inflatable boat

Choosing a boat is easy. Decide how many people will usually be on the boat. Calculate the required motor power based on the fact that one hp is needed for 20 kg of weight. and search the internet. Which boat you like, buy that one. But first re-read all the forums, with the testimony of witnesses about the boat you have chosen.

One piece of advice. In the passenger capacity column, divide everything by two. The boat, of course, can be loaded with the number of people indicated in the specification, for example, when evacuating drowning people, but such a number will not work on fishing. Therefore, 260 cm long cannot be a boat for two fishermen.

Tuning of Russian-made inflatable boats

Implies its weighting, so do not overdo it.

Nevertheless, the presence of a speedometer, a GPS navigator, a barometer, a bow electric motor with remote control, windshield wipers, an awning, an audio system, holders for spinning rods (holy), anchor rollers, searchlights, etc. will not hurt on board.

Look at the weight first. Determine what is more important for you tuning or speed and consumption.

The boat provides ample opportunities for lovers of outdoor activities on the water. Fishermen use watercraft to search for and get the coveted trophy, travel enthusiasts raft down the rivers, employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations help people in trouble. Inflatable boats made of PVC are in special demand. They are distinguished by an affordable price, can be transported in a car, and behave steadily on a wave. In addition, PVC material has high strength, resistance to mineral oils, acids, alkalis and solvents. There are many different designs, boats differ in size, capacity, carrying capacity. Therefore, when buying, there are many questions. Experts will help you find answers.

1. For fishing and leisurely walks in small water areas, compact rowing boats are suitable. They are equipped with oars, and inflatable boards are a closed circuit. These are the most budgetary small boats.
2. PVC inflatable boats for the motor instead of the rear wall have a rigid transom, to which the power unit is mounted. This type of small boats is very popular with trollingers, rescuers, travelers. The capacity of motor boats can reach 8 people.
3. Motor-rowing boats are a closed structure with a hinged transom on the rear cylinder. Such models are required by fishermen and hunters when they have to overcome both sections with clean water, and areas overgrown with grass.
4. As for parameters such as capacity or carrying capacity, the user must decide for himself whether he will rest alone or in the company of friends. It is important to strictly follow the manufacturer's restrictions to ensure maximum safety on the water.

Important rules for the competent choice of PVC boats

When choosing inflatable PVC boats, you need to pay attention to:

• length: for a single voyage, a size of 220-240 cm is enough, and for a group of fishermen, hunters of 2-3 persons the best option there will be models from 300 cm;
• the presence of a transom: suspended or glued transom;
• bottom design: inflatable bottom or rigid deck;
• shape, modification and other parameters.

When they get picked up PVC boats for fishing, then many take into account not only the thickness, but also the color of the material. Equally important are the diameter of the tanks, the type of nose and other nuances. Contacting our specialists guarantees qualified advice and right choice in each case!

Species by bottom type

The most common option is an inflatable bottom, which provides lighter product weight, ease of storage and sufficient load capacity along with optimal driving performance, making it easier to plan. By inflating modern (low pressure inflatable bottom) or models with a high pressure bottom to a pressure of 1 atmosphere, you can stand on them as confidently as on a hard floor.

Many anglers, hunters and water lovers choose pvc solder boats with folding or hard bottom. Rigid flooring is made in the form of a collapsible or solid bottom made of wood or aluminum treated with moisture-resistant impregnation and is most often used on keel models. The solid bottom ensures the comfort of being on board, creating maximum stability and safety. The disadvantages of a rigid bottom include the large weight of the structure, the difficulty of transporting using it, and the need for storage space.

Length and passenger capacity

Inflatable, keel and transom boats made of PVC are different in size, but the most popular of them are:

• single, having a length of up to 3 m and able to withstand a total load of up to 500 kg;
• double, made in sizes from 3.3 m to 3.5 m and designed to accommodate 2-3 people and 700 kg of cargo;
• triple, reaching a length of 4.5 m and suitable for family holidays or group hunting.

Our pvc boat site offers more lifting models, which differ in significant dimensions and are designed for boat trips or fishing.

* Calculations use average data for Russia

The organization of own production of boats requires a relatively large start-up capital (according to some sources, from 3-5 million rubles) and, no less important, the presence of great knowledge and experience in this area. The production of such products is a complex process that takes a lot of time. It can take several months to develop one model, including design, sample production and testing.

Inflatable boats are used by hunters, tourists and just vacationers. They are relatively reliable, compact, easy to operate and inexpensive.

There are several of the most well-known Russian manufacturers that specialize in the production of such products: Ufa Plant, Yaroslavl Plant, LLC PFC Mnev and K, Leader, LLC TD Fregat, TPS Center Mnev, Rotan, Mobile Group, Solar; joint ventures: Badger (St. Petersburg - South Korea), Korsar (Moscow / St. Petersburg - South Korea), Petroset (official representative of Yamaha in Russia). Among Western manufacturing companies whose products are actively promoted on Russian market, you can call Zodiak, QuickSilver, Suzuki Marine, Honda.

Inflatable boats are rowing and motor. The difference lies in their design. The first ones are quite simple and cheap. Their sides are usually divided into several compartments, which gives them greater safety: even if one compartment is damaged, the boat will not sink. The bottom (payola) of the boat is semi-rigid and rigid. In the first case, plastic or plywood is inserted into it, and in the second case, it is completely reinforced with plywood or a light alloy plate. In addition, sometimes, to make the hull more rigid, it is equipped with a rigid bench, which is installed between the sides. In addition to it or instead of it, inflatable pillows are also used as seats.

From boats of the first type, models with an outboard engine differ markedly in design. The nature of the differences depends on the power of the installed engine and the operating conditions of a particular model. The main difference between these boats and rowing boats is the presence of a rigid transom on which the engine is installed, and stronger elements for attaching it to the hull.

Boats with a small engine up to 2-3 Horse power have either an inflatable bottom or reinforced with transverse rails. They, like conventional inflatable boats, can be easily folded into a bag for transportation. Boats with a more powerful motor are equipped with hard floorboards.

Production technology of inflatable boats

In the production of inflatable boats, several basic materials are used: reinforced and non-reinforced PVC materials, rubberized fabric, polyurethane, hipalon and neoprene. All these materials differ in properties and operating conditions. Most domestically produced boats and cylinders for them are made of reinforced PVC. This material consists of several layers. It is based on a synthetic woven fabric, which is covered on both sides with several layers of PVC. Since polyvinyl chloride in its pure form is a non-plastic substance, polyurethane is added to it during production. There are such types of PVC fabrics as fabric, special for boats and construction. Special "boat" PVC material has several advantages. It is resistant to dirt, abrasion and UV radiation. It is easy enough to repair if suddenly the boat leaked. The only negative: this material does not lend itself well to local staining. It can be painted only completely and only at the production stage: special dyes are added to polyvinyl chloride.

The second most popular material in our country that is used for the production of boats is rubberized fabric. Its main advantage is its low price. Unfortunately, among the shortcomings, experts note a slight resistance to fading, abrasion, susceptibility to decay, etc.

Boats made of non-reinforced PVC are produced mainly by Western companies. They are inexpensive, lightweight and easy to use. The disadvantages include the ability of this material to stretch under the influence of high temperatures, poor elasticity at low temperatures and low strength. It is also worth noting that if in the production of ordinary inflatable boats the technology of gluing the seams is used, then in the manufacture of models from non-reinforced PVC, the seams of the boat are glued, which increases its reliability.

Ready-made ideas for your business

Hipalon and neoprene are relatively new materials, but they are already actively used in the production of sports equipment, including wetsuits, boats, etc. They are also multi-layered and are made on the basis of synthetic fabric. But unlike PVC, the first woven layer is covered first with a layer of neoprene, and on top of layers of hypalon. This technology is expensive, so it is not used by domestic companies. In addition, the specificity of the raw materials used does not allow welding such material, which further increases the cost of the finished product. However, boats made from this material are different. high quality and long service life.

Inflatable boats are also made from polyurethane itself - the same one that is added to polyvinyl chloride to increase the plasticity of the latter. This material has a high porosity, so it is easily glued to the fabric base. Boats made of this material are ideal for use in extreme conditions.

PVC boats are becoming more and more popular every day among the fishermen of our country. Every fisherman at least once thought about having his own swimming facility: a boat or a boat. No one needs to explain how significantly a PVC boat expands the possibilities of an angler in catching fish. Owning your own boat or boat is not cheap, but there is an alternative: a PVC inflatable boat.

An inflatable boat, unlike a regular one, has a large number of advantages:

• An inflatable boat takes up significantly less storage space, it can be stored in a garage, utility room, even in an apartment.
• It is much more convenient to transport an inflatable boat to the place of fishing, there is no need to purchase a car trailer, install a tow bar.
• There is no need to look for a special place to launch an inflatable boat, an inflatable boat weighs much less, so even one person can easily launch it into the water.
• The price of an inflatable boat is several times cheaper, so a large number of people can afford to buy it.

The first inflatable boats were made of rubber, they were not very reliable in operation, but they were inexpensive, anyone could afford to buy such a boat for fishing, hunting or tourism. basis rubber boat is a synthetic mesh or cotton fabric coated on both sides with rubber for gas tightness. Over time, manufacturers of rubber boats have improved the technology of their manufacture, began to use rubber with a high content of natural rubber, so that the boats have become much better and more reliable.

In the 90s, the first inflatable boats appeared from a new, more modern material, polyvinyl chloride (PVC). PVC fabric was a nylon mesh coated on both sides with a layer of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is an elastic and airtight material. PVC boats were significantly superior to rubber boats in terms of performance, but at first they cost much more than rubber boats. A little later, an increasing number of manufacturers began to appear on the market and the prices for PVC boats dropped significantly. To date, PVC inflatable boats have become the most popular view boats of all.

Advantages of PVC boats

• Easy to store PVC boats. Before storage, the rubber boat must be thoroughly washed, dried properly, sprinkled with talc and stored, if possible, deployed, in a partially inflated state, so that the boat does not rot and become moldy. There are no such problems with the PVC boat, I rolled it up and put it in storage until spring: in the garage, on the loggia, in the basement. PVC boat storage temperature from -40 to +50 degrees. It is advisable to store a rubber boat at a temperature of -5 to +35 degrees.
• PVC boats are more resistant to tearing and abrasion. PVC fabric in its structure is denser and coarser, therefore it can better withstand mechanical stress. The rubberized fabric of the rubber boat does not resist longitudinal cuts well, so the rubber boat must be protected from sharp branches, snags, sharp stones and glass fragments.
• The seams of PVC boats are much stronger and more aesthetically pleasing than the seams of rubber boats. The seams are the most weak point rubber boats, to reinforce them, the seams are glued with special tapes, so they look much less aesthetically pleasing. And despite the reinforcement of the seams with tapes, the strength of the seams of a rubber boat is still worse than that of a PVC boat. The tensile strength of the seams in a PVC boat is 3.5-4.5 kg., in the seams of a rubber boat 0.5 kg.
• PVC boat cylinders hold a higher pressure, their working pressure is 0.3, for rubber boats the working pressure is 0.15. The pressure in the cylinders of a rubber boat must be carefully controlled, otherwise, in the heat, pumped cylinders can burst, this can especially happen with an old boat that has served its owner for many years. This does not happen with a PVC boat.
• PVC boats are lighter than rubber inflatable boats. This moment becomes especially sensitive with a large inflatable boat.
• The fabric from which PVC boats are made is much more practical than rubberized fabric. It does not rot, is not exposed to fungi and bacteria, does not absorb moisture, is not afraid of frost, ultraviolet radiation.
• PVC boats are well suited for use with a motor, as PVC fabric is not afraid of contact with petroleum products: gasoline, engine oil.
• PVC fabric manufacturers produce more than 20 colors and shades of their fabrics, which allows PVC boat designers and builders to create beautiful and aesthetically pleasing boats for every taste of their customers.
• PVC boats are considered safer, even in the event of a boat cylinder puncture, the air from the PVC boat cylinder leaves much more slowly, leaving the boat owner more time to take measures to save the boat and property in the boat. Rubber boats sink faster.

Disadvantages of PVC boats

• PVC boats, due to the greater rigidity of the material, take up more volume when folded. A rubber boat of the same size, when folded, will take up less space than a PVC fabric boat.
• In late autumn, at low temperatures, when folding a PVC boat, difficulties often arise due to the fact that the fabric of the boat coarsens, becomes stiff and hard to fold. Although speaking about this disadvantage, it should be noted that very few people use the boat at sub-zero temperatures, most owners use an inflatable boat at an ambient temperature above 15 degrees.
• Repairing a PVC boat is considered more difficult compared to repairing a rubber boat. In the early days after the first boats made of PVC fabric, it was very difficult for the owners of such boats to find glue and a repair kit to fix their boat. Currently, each PVC boat comes with glue and a set of patches to repair punctures and cuts in the field. In addition, through the ads, you can find craftsmen in your city who can repair your PVC boat in a quality manner, eliminating any problems with your boat.
• A PVC boat is usually much more expensive than a rubber boat. Although in Lately prices for PVC boats are almost equal to the prices for rubber boats.
• The PVC material of the fabric can be easily burned by a cigarette or coal from a fire, so you need to be careful and attentive when using the boat, especially if you are a smoker.

PVC boat selection

A lot of questions arise in a person when choosing an inflatable boat, especially if this is his first boat. When choosing a boat, you need to consider several important points:

• The size of the boat should match the size of the water where you will be fishing. How larger size body of water, the larger your boat should be.
• Be sure to consider the number of people who will be on the boat with you.
• For fishing in a small body of water: a pond or a small river, a simple rowing boat is enough, designed for one, maximum for two people. For fishing in a large body of water: a large reservoir, a large river, a lake, it is better to purchase a PVC boat with a transom to install an outboard outboard motor.
• Pay attention to the number of cylinders in the boat, there should be at least two, even better three. The more tanks in the boat, the safer it is.
• Boats differ in the density of the PVC fabric from which they are made. The greater the density of the fabric, the thicker and stronger the fabric, but at the same time, the weight of the boat increases. It is advisable to choose boats with a sufficiently high density of PVC fabric.
• The bottom of the boat may be different in design. There are boats with an inflatable bottom, as well as boats with a bottom made of plywood or even aluminum.
• If for you great importance have the driving characteristics of the boat and its stability on the water, try to test the model of your future boat by taking a boat of the same model from your fellow fishermen and trying it on the water.
