We offer with Seaman Corp. an innovative fabric, the Elvaloy®  XR-Mariner™.

Elvaloy® is a high molecular-weight polymer classified as an Ethylene Interpolymer alloy. It acts as a toughener and a flexibilizer
when compounded into other polymers. Unlike conventional plasticizers used in PVC, Elvaloy® doesn't migrate to the surface
and therefore is not lost through evaporation or extraction.The result is an outstanding coating that fights weathering and
chemical attacks. It will maintain its soft touch feeling and its permanent flexibility. Its abrasion resistance is very high.

This formulation, groups together several characteristics that were, until now, incompatible:
    1- As this coating is plastic-based, you will be able to weld it by Hot air or High Frequency. It can also be glued.  With all
    assembly processes, you will experience very high adhesion levels.
    2- Because the coating is not subject to plasticizer migration, there will be no noticeable loss over time of flexibility, air
    tightness or degradation in the mechanical properties. Colors will NOT degrade or fade.
    3- Elvaloy® blended coatings are even superior to Hypalon compounds in their resistance to hydrocarbons and
    prolonged exposure to heat, UV and salt water.

SEAMAN , in addition to coating, is also a weaver of fabrics.  As such, they have specially designed a base cloth that is
noticeably superior in its mechanical properties compared to the standard 1100 dtx Polyester fabric HYPALON common in the
inflatable boat market (50% higher tear resistance, more than double abrasion).

SEAMAN . is a world class manufacturer and sole producer of the XR-5 Elvaloy blends in collaboration with Dupont.  These
products have been used in North-America for more that 20 years.
