What type of material
is used in inflatable manufacturing?
A
A cold-air inflatable is made with Vinyl
Coated Nylon (VCN). VCN is manufactured with use of nylon
“scrim” which gives the fabric its support. Liquid vinyl is
then colored, poured over the scrim and set to harden. VCN
comes is various weights from 3 ounce to 22 ounce. The design
and use of the inflatable determines which weight VCN is used.
The inside support system of an inflatable is made of 210
or 420 Dinear. Dinear is very similar to parachute materials
and it is standard for this fabric to be Flame Retardant.
Q
Can VCN be Flame Retardant (FR)?
A
Yes, VCN can be purchased FR. In fact, the material Interactive
Inflatables uses meets the NFPA 701 FR test (extinguishes
within 3.7 seconds), the highest industry standard.
Q
Can VCN be ordered in any color?
A
Yes, VCN can be matched with the international Pantone
Matching System color code (PMS) supplied by the buyer.
Choosing a preferred PMS color may delay the production
time. Our fabric vendor upon request manufactures these
specific colors, only. Check with Interactive Inflatables
for approximated lead-time.

use and supply the client with country-specific electric
plugs.
