PVC is a thermoplastic whereas Hypalon Neoprene is a synthetic rubber.
PVC is a plastic material, easily industrialized with a low product cost but also entails some disadvantages compared to ORCA Hypalon.
It is true that Hypalon, due to its raw material, is slightly more expensive than PVC, but over time, this difference is significant.
The advantages of PVC are:
• The price
• The weight
The advantages of ORCA Hypalon neoprene:
• The UV resistance
• Longevity (a hypalon float can last up to 25 years if well maintained)
• Resistance to extreme temperatures, ideal for tropical areas
• Resistance to folding, shocks, friction, and abrasion
• Ease of repair thanks to the material and cold bonding
• Resistance to hydrocarbons
• Resale value
The disadvantages of PVC are:
• Sensitivity and aging from UV
• More difficult repairs
• Not recommended for intensive use
• Resale value
The disadvantages of Hypalon are:
• Weight
• Purchase price
If you want a boat that can be easily repaired, more resistant to the elements, and maintain a strong resale value, choosing Hypalon is preferable.
Hypalon can last many years if well maintained with ORCA products (New magic / Shmuffex / Gumemp100).
Orca Retail is proud to offer you a wide range of 36 colors and finishes (Carbon / Perlage / Fabric Impression / Matt / Honeycomb / and Smooth) for our range of neoprene repair fabrics to allow you to repair and restyle your inflatable according to your tastes.

- Degreasing cleaners, especially before applying our neoprene fabrics, or more generally to remove grime, persistent grease stains, or other residues of old waxes and silicones.
- Antifungal products to eliminate fungi and mold.
- Protective waxes to shield your vessel from UV rays and salt, for more shine and resistance.
Refer to our maintenance guide for more information.
