Hypatex

HYPALON is the trademark registered by Du Pont to indicate chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSM), a synthetic rubber that is supplied to the rubber industry, as a raw material to be transformed and vulcanized to obtain a wide range of finished products.

The HYPATEX trilaminate is produced with Hypalon, consisting of:

• Hypalon
• fabric (Polyester 1670 Dtex or 2200 Dtex)
• neoprene in the state of pre-extrusion, i.e. not inflated (CR)

Features:

• thickness 1.00 – 1.25 mm (h 145 – 150 cm)
• weight 1300 / 1500 gr / m2
• high resistance to UV rays
• anti abrasion treatment
• resistant to contact with hydrocarbons
• easy to clean

The cheaper alternative is BOTEX, consisting of PVC-fabric-PVC.

In combination, the BAND-TEX tape is available: a neoprene tape for welding the internal seams.
The revolutionary ” cross ” diagonal structure gives elasticity and extensibility, allowing easier application on curved surfaces.
