Subject: Re: [baidarka] PVC skin data
George Privett recently asked me for specifics of
my PVC skin material. Sorry for the long delay,
but at last here is what I could find out:
there www site of STAMOID is
http://www.stamoid.ch.forbo.com
but there is nothing useful about that
specific skin material.
the skin comes in doublesided or singlesided
PVC covering on a polyester fabric.
singlesided weighs 280grams/square meter
doublesided is 430g/m2
tensile strength is better than 1200N over 5cm width
the singlesided stuff is covered with a dirt protecting
finish, which makes glueing and welding impossible
and thus has to be removed in the contact area.
Cheers,
Hendrik
