PVC is a thermoplastic, whereas CSM/CR Neoprene is a synthetic rubber.

PVC is a plastic material, easily industrialized with low product cost, but it also has a few disadvantages compared with CSM/CR (Hypalon®) ORCA.

It's true that CSM/CR is slightly more expensive than PVC due to its raw material, but in the long term, this difference is significant.

The advantages of PVC are

- Price
- weight

The advantages of ORCA CSM/CR neoprene :

- UV resistance
- Longevity (a CSM/CR (Hypalon®) float can last up to 25 years if properly maintained)
- Resistance to extreme temperatures, ideal for tropical areas
- resistance to bending, impact, friction and abrasion
- Ease of repair, thanks to the material's cold bonding properties
- Resistance to hydrocarbons

- Resale price The disadvantages of PVC are

- UV sensitivity and aging
- More difficult to repair
- Not recommended for intensive use
- Resale price

The disadvantages of CSM/CR are :

- Weight
- Purchase price

If you want a boat that's easy to repair, more resistant to the elements and retains a strong resale price, CSM/CR (Hypalon®) is the choice for you.
CSM/CR (Hypalon®) can last for many years if properly maintained with ORCA products (New magic / Shmuffex / Gumemp100).

The main criterion for choosing your fabric is the length of your inflatable boat, but it is also preferable to use the same quality as the original fabric (your dealer will be able to help you).

BOATS LESS THAN 5 METRES LONG: ORCA 820 or ORCA 828
BOATS LESS THAN 6 METRES LONG: ORCA 828 or ORCA 866
BOATS OVER 6 METRES LONG : ORCA 866
BOATS LONGER THAN 10 METRES : ORCA 859
Our range of neoprene fabrics is composed of 4 qualities of products, designed for different lengths of RIB boats.

In our online shop, you can buy our products by the linear meter (100x145cm), within the limit of 15 linear meters per reference, which is sufficient for use by a private individual or for repairers.

If you wish to place a larger order of fabric or if you are a professional (e.g. a float builder), please contact us directly at retail@orca.eu
