Extended finishing range
The world leader in Hypalon coated fabric, Pennel & Flipo, is expanding its range of finishing textures for inflatable and semi-rigid boats. Presented several months ago, the new Orca Perlage should be visible on boats at the next boat shows. This new fabric integrating half pearls, distributed over the entire surface, joins Orca Fabric Impression with a matt and rough texture inspired by textiles, Orca Silver / Metal, Orca Carbon with carbon fibre motif and Orca Camo and its camouflage prints.

Aesthetics
The new Orca Perlage and its rounded pimples give a slightly shiny, pearly, silvery appearance. Available in anthracite grey or arctic grey, it extends Pennel & Flipo's aesthetic range.
Practice
Thanks to its slightly rough surface, Orca Perlage provides good grip and makes the hypalon less slippery than a classic finish. The width of the grooves between the pearls, more important than on a textile aspect, allows an easy cleaning and thus a better maintenance.
"The creation of this new fabric is the result of our discussions with shipyards and end users," explains Fabrice They, sales manager at Pennel & Flipo. Appointment is taken on the boat shows to see the result.
