Polyvinyl chloride (PVC): This is a common plastic material that has good flexibility, wear resistance, and waterproofing. It has a relatively low price and is widely used in various inflatable products, such as inflatable swimming pools, inflatable toys, etc.
For example, common inflatable castles for children are mostly made of PVC material.
Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU): This material has excellent elasticity, wear resistance, and weather resistance, and is relatively environmentally friendly. Commonly used in high-end inflatable products, such as inflatable mattresses, inflatable boats, etc.
For some professional outdoor inflatable boats, TPU material is used to ensure their durability and performance.
Nylon: Nylon material has high strength, wear resistance, and tear resistance. It is usually used in combination with other coatings to enhance the durability and waterproofness of inflatable products.
For example, some high-quality inflatable tents may use nylon fabric.
Rubber: Rubber has good elasticity and sealing properties, suitable for inflatable products that require high air tightness, such as inflatable tires.
The inflatable tires of bicycles will be made of rubber material.
Different inflatable products will choose suitable materials based on their purpose, cost, and performance requirements.
