SOTAR Rafts Take Center Stage at the 2026 US Rafting Nationals
Three days of racing, one river, one goal: this past weekend, the United States Rafting Association wrapped up the 2026 US Rafting Nationals on the South Fork American River in Placerville, CA. It’s the event that ranks US teams for eligibility to compete internationally, and for the second year running, the rafts underneath the crews were built on Erez REZcoat™ TPU.
TPU vs PVC Packraft Fabric: What Engineers Need to Know
Neither material is simply “better.” PVC is a sound choice when cost and floor rigidity are priorities, such as for a first boat or a casual flatwater packraft. TPU is the choice manufacturers reach for when weight, packability, and resistance to sharp-impact damage define the product, which is why it’s become the standard for expedition and whitewater-focused pack rafts.
IMO & SOLAS Certified Fabrics: What Life Raft Manufacturers Need to Know
Navigating the transition from strict maritime safety standards to raw material selection is the most critical phase for product developers. For inflatable life rafts, a SOLAS approved fabric cannot simply be an off-the-shelf polymer; it must be engineered as a highly specialized IMO certified marine textile capable of surviving catastrophic failure conditions.

Medical-Grade TPU for Medical Devices: Meeting ISO 10993 Standards and Beyond
When you’re developing inflatable products—dynamic compression sleeves, therapeutic mattresses, specialized patient positioning equipment—the coated fabric isn’t just another component on your bill of materials.
Selecting the Right Flexible Ducting Material for Chemical and Abrasion Resistance
Selecting the right flexible ducting material is critical for industrial applications exposed to chemicals and abrasive particles. Learn why TPU-coated fabrics outperform standard PVC in dock seals, industrial connectors, and heavy-duty ducting. This comprehensive guide covers chemical resistance testing, abrasion ratings, and material specifications for manufacturers.
What you need to know about PU-coated nylon fabric
Most people don’t think about the fabric holding their life jacket together until they’re floating in the water. PU-coated nylon is that fabric—the workhorse material keeping rescue equipment, medical devices, and marine gear functional when everything else fails. At Erez Thermoplastics, we’ve spent decades perfecting these coatings because we know that “good enough” isn’t good enough when lives depend on your gear.

האם תקן NSF הוא חובה עבור מוצר האחסון הנוזל שלך?
כשמדובר בתקנים המוכרים בינלאומית, רק מעטים נבחרים הם מקיפים ומוכרים כמו תקני NSF/ANSI 61 (NSF 61). אישורי NSF מבטיחים שיצרן המוצר עשוי לצמצם את הסיכויים לזיהום כלשהו, וזה אחד השיקולים החיוניים ביותר בכל הקשור לאחסון מזון. סקירה כללית של NSF 61 NSF 61 פותחה … קרא עוד
