Description

Drop stitch fabric manufacturers providing woven drop stitch, the next evolution of inflatable SUP material, is thinner and offers increased tensile strength due to the way the internal fibers are woven. Drop stitch, also called “Double Wall Fabric”, consists of two parallel sheets of fabric that are connected by thousands of long threads. The interlocking threads of these drop stitch fabrics are strong and resilient enough to keep the two layers apart and parallel when stretched to a maximum. The connecting fibers of traditional knitted drop stitch have an angle of 90° to the upper and lower surface and thus, shear forces, which appear during bending stress, cannot be absorbed by these fibers. The bending stiffness can be increased by using thicker Drop stitch material or by attaching extra layers of fabric on the top and bottom of the material. Both methods are not satisfying as a higher thickness leads to a lower performance of the board and extra layers increase the weight of the object. Woven Drop stitch, this technology is by far the most reliable, lightest, and stiffest. It is the heart of the Inflatable structures, which constitutes the inner dynamics of the board.

The yarn threads are reduced per square centimetre for better reflex,
less plastic and a lighter product. Less weight, faster acceleration, easier to carry.

The drop stitch threads that give the thickness of the Board are no longer aligned vertically but crossed at different angles, forming oblique struts that are cleverly distributed to balance each other. This concept gives much more rigidity to the whole. This mesh is, therefore, tighter and more homogeneous. All this brings much more rigidity using less material. This optimized weave, therefore, makes it possible to considerably lighten the material, without altering its qualities. With this increase in strength comes a reduction in plastic that results in the material being >20% lighter. You end up with a paddleboard that is stronger, lighter, and ultimately has better performance.

There is increasing concerns from Europe and US regarding Phthalates. Phthalates refers to Phthalate Esters / PAEs, which are common addictive to soften plastics especially PVC in past 40 years and 80% of Phthalates are used in plastic products. It exists in others include inks, adhesives, sealant agents, paints, film coatings, glass fibers, leather, rainwear, footwear, dyestuff, perfume, softener, polish remover, lubricant, cosmetics and isolation for cables. Phthalates has toxic for reproduction. Based on the application and customer’s safety concerns, there are tests based on different Phthalates. The common testing are 3P, 6P, 7P, 15P and 16P. Our product has passed reach standard, and for higher requirement, we can make 6P/16P.
