What are Saturn rafts made of?
SATURN inflatable boats and rafts are made of 1,100 Dtex 3rd Generation UV-resistant PVC fabric with polyester support that has excellent resistance to tearing, tension and breaking. Tested in South Florida under the tropical sun, this light gray PVC does not change color or become sticky over time. Hypalon: Hypalon is a synthetic rubber material that is more durable than PVC. It’s resistant to UV rays, extreme temperatures, and chemicals, making it a popular choice for commercial and military-grade inflatable boats.There are two types of materials for inflatable boats — Hypalon (CSM) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). CSM boats generally last seven to 15 years but can last up to 20 years if well maintained. PVC boats can last two to 10 years. A welded PVC inflatable boat will outlast boats made with glue.In fact, every Saturn inflatable boat comes with 2 year limited warranty, showing you that they stand behind their product. Having the warranty is great, but if you keep your inflatable boat in top shape, you could expect it to last up to 10 years.
