CHOOSE FROM TWO SUPER-TOUGH MATERIALS

1. DURABLE MEHLER HAKU® PVC FABRIC

Mercury Inflatables are produced with Mehler Haku®, a heavy-duty, longlife fabric, which offers excellent resistance against UV, cuts, abrasions and normal wear and tear. This fabric also offers maximum resistance against high temperature, moisture and dirt. Mercury Inflatables offer one of the best guarantees in the market including 3 years warranty on the Mehler Haku® fabric and air holding thermowelded seams giving you assurance of our commitment to quality (excluding Dinghy Series). Mercury applies the exclusive technique of THERMOWELDING when assembling the Mehler Haku® PVC fabric of its tubes. This process combines fusion welding with high pressure bonding of double internal/ external tapes, and is used to assemble the different parts of the tubes with welds stronger than the material itself.

2. SUPER-TOUGH ACHILLES® HP FABRIC

Our Achilles® HP range features a premium quality, extra heavy-duty fabric, which offers superior performance in most extreme conditions… including resistance to abrasions, hydrocarbons, fire, ultra-violet light, and fading. > Achilles® HP is a super-tough synthetic rubber fabric with an inner layer of Neoprene. Extensive testing has shown that Achilles®

HP out-performs other materials, such as PVC in abrasion, oil, petrol, chemical, and weather resistance. > Its extreme resilience… plus its lightness, toughness and buoyancy, makes it an ideal material for inflatable boats.

> Achilles® HP is a fabric that sets the standard for inflatables around the world!

*3 year warranty on Mehler Haku® PVC except for Dinghy models which have a 1 year fabric warranty. Different Warranty Terms may apply for countries outside Australia and New Zealand. Please see https://www.mercurymarine.com/en-gb/au/service-and-support/warranty for the latest warranty information.

FLOORS TO SUIT ALL MODELS

AIR FLOOR

The Dinghy series features a traditional air mattress flooring which is comfortable, easy to inflate and convenient.

ALUMINIUM FLOORBOARD

Mercury’s Heavy Duty inflatable models are built for their strength and durability. Equipped with reinforced aluminium floorboards, they are incredibly resistant and suited to demanding applications or extensive use. Aluminium floorboards are easily installed and provide a nonslip surface to enhance traction in wet conditions.

AIR DECK FLOOR (X-STITCHED)

All Air Deck models feature a X-stitched inflated floor that provides 50% more floor rigidity when compared to the traditional drop stitched air floor systems. Our Air deck floors also feature anti-slip patches.

RIGID HULL FLOOR – FIBREGLASS

The Ocean runner and Dynamic models feature rigid fibreglass hulls which incorporate a stable and firm deck. The Ocean Runner has a sandwich-laminated fibreglass v-hull for incredible performance and a flat floor. The Dynamic RIB series features a laminated fibreglass hull with VITECH® (Vacuum Injection Technology) process, moulding the hull and transom as one piece for incredible strength-to-weight ratio.

SPORT FLOOR – FIBRE REINFORCED POLYMER

Sport models are equipped with a removable fibreglass sectional floor that offers durability, additional buoyancy and a lower cost compared to aluminium floorboards. Fibre reinforced polymer flooring is also waterproof and won’t degrade.

RIGID HULL FLOOR - ALUMINIUM

New to the Mercury Inflatable range are the Aluminium RIBs with their flat painted Aluminium checker-plate flooring designed for strength, durability and slip resistance even when wet.
