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.
