Anfibio uses state-of-the-art lightweight materials such as fiberglass, carbon, TPU, and nylon in all components of their products. Most are composite structures such as coated nylon for boats, clothing, and bags, laminated fiberglass for paddles, and fiber-reinforced injection-molded plastic for accessories.
Anfibio exclusively uses TPU-coated nylon fabric with varying fiber strengths and coating thicknesses for their boats and many accessories, depending on the requirements and area of use. This material class provides excellent basic properties for packraft construction. Anfibio uses a translucent TPU coating for their tube materials to save weight and cost by reducing the use of color pigments. The color comes exclusively from the colored nylon base fabric, which is colored anyway. The smooth and shiny surface of the transparent tube coating is especially scratch-resistant.
Anfibio's special textile fabric with different yarn thicknesses and weave densities achieves high tear resistance. The interaction of these properties results in a unique ratio of weight to durability, which is demonstrated through continuous measurement and test procedures to verify adhesion and tear resistance.
