TUBES The tubes serve to keep the craft afloat; they are usually divided internally into from 3 to 6 tubes, independent of one another, and this makes the inflatable boat the safest craft in the world because it is unsinkable. The various inner tubes also permit constant balancing of the inflation pressure, which is normally kept at from 0.18 to 0.20 bars and also contribute to the stability of the craft. PRODUCTION The tubes are made of technical polyester or polyamide fabric (Trevira or Nylon) saturated by coating and calendering with mixtures of specific elastomers, the best known of which are Neoprene and Hypalon.

Fabrics of this type, which require constant technological research and specific and careful preparation by hand, are used to make the shaped edges of the tubes, which are then glued together with special cold chloroprene-resin glues.
