Nitrylon is a lamination of nitrile synthetic rubber and natural rubber over a 1,200-denier, low stretch polyester fabric. Nitrylon is very puncture and abrasion resistant. It is considerably stronger, easier to patch, performs better in cold weather, and is much more abrasion resistant than PVC. Some of our models, the K1, K2, and Seakers, use polyester reinforced PVC (Mirasol ) for the side chambers. Mirasol has better structural stiffness for long tubes than Nitrylon .
