FABRIC
TYPE
The OL-KS fabric range is manufactured from HT nylon 6.6
in a double-ripstop fabric base which is coated with
silicone and polyurethane based compounds. This finish
gives the fabrics a fuller, firmer and crisper handle to
allow for easier inflation of the glider without
sacrificing tear strength.
FABRIC FINISH
The finish is an extremely durable and
hard-wearing polymer coating which gives zero
air-permeability and sufficient fabric rigidity for good
aerofoil maintenance. To give added protection against
ultra-violet light and dirt adherence, the fabric is
further treated on both sides with UV inhibitor and soil
release agents.
PERFORMANCE
OL-KS fabrics are extremely resilient.
They will recover quickly from being packed up and will
retain their crisp handle and appearance even after
continuous usage.
