Composite Hybrids

SIT has developed several composite systems for RIB collars to enhance their puncture resistance and enable craft to remain operational if the air chamber is breached. All materials are SOLAS approved and the design can be tailored to suit individual requirements. The inner bladder is protected from external punctures by 40 or 80mm low-density foam, yet the tube maintains its shape in the event of a deep stab or gun shot. The outer cover is standard Hypalon coated fabric, providing the benefits of oil, UV and abrasion resistance.
