Trelleborg introduces new hovercraft skirting

Trelleborg, a Swedish-based producer of specialty polymer-coated and calendered materials including neoprene-coated polyamide fabrics and nitrile rubber-coated cotton fabrics. Among the company’s featured products is its solution for hovercraft skirts: a polyamide fabric coated on two sides with neoprene. It is engineered to cushion the weight of a hovercraft against seawater, ice and sand, while withstanding the pressure of the air held and providing high abrasion resistance and strength.
