What's Hypalon-coated polyester fabric (CSM)?
Hypalon-coated polyester fabric, also known as CSM (Chlorosulphonated Polyethylene), is a composite material that combines a polyester fabric substrate with a coating of Hypalon, a synthetic rubber made from chlorosulfonated polyethylene.
This material is engineered to harness the benefits of both components. The polyester fabric provides structural strength, flexibility, and durability, while the Hypalon coating enhances the fabric's resistance to various environmental factors such as chemicals, abrasion, UV radiation, and extreme temperatures.
CSM, or Hypalon, is well-regarded for its superior performance in marine environments, making it a popular choice for applications such as inflatable boats, marine structures, and other water-resistant products. Its excellent weather resistance and low gas permeability make it suitable for use in challenging outdoor conditions.
