Quality check before packing
All Da Vinci® kayaks are manufactured under fair working conditions and undergo rigorous testing quality controls to meet our demands. The kayaks will be sent for after completion 72 hours checked for leaks and only packed after passing a final check.
HAWT - Hot Air Welding Tech
With glue alone the durability limit of inflatable kayaks is reached comparatively quickly. That is why the seams of all Da Vinci kayaks are sewn welded with hot air. The PVC melted by HAWT (Hot Air Welding Tech) reinforces the seam line taped over with glue and prevented a possible escape of air. A dropstitch kayak made with both glue and welding lasts longer and is safer.
Patented Selytech U-Lite SCSL (TM) double layer dropstitch fabric
U-Lite ist die neueste SELYTECH Dropstitch Leichtgewicht Innovation vom Marktführer Woosung. Die aufblasbaren Da Vinci SUPs und Kajaks werden vollständig aus dem patentierten SELYTECH SCSL Dropstitch Gewebe gefertigt.
Diese Technologie bringt aufblasbare SUPs und Kajaks auf ein neues Level. 30% mehr Fäden sorgen für die einzigartig starre Dropstitch Konstruktion. Dadurch erreichen die Produkte im Test trotz extrem niedrigem Gewicht eine in diesem Bereich einmalige Leistung, Stabilität und Performance. Der Twist konnte durch die hohe Fadendichte um bis zu 50% reudziert werden.
New market requirements called for a fundamental change in the chemical and physical structure the dropstitch threads and the PVC laminates. The inflatable DS fabric must rough use and tough conditions withstand. It is rolled up and stowed in the trunk of the car, stored in a boat, exposed to extreme heat and cold, and must last for years, without breaking. Nevertheless, thanks to innovation, the SUPs and kayaks through innovation are mobile (because they are light and inflatable) and at the same time extremely rigid and performant.
Extra strong and durable
The new Selytech glue V2 - Made in Germany
Excellent adhesion and tensile strength
Extreme density, up to 30% higher than other adhesives - the V2 makes the board noticeably stiffer
Resistant to UV radiation and anti-oxidation
The SELYRECH adhesive is heat resistant up to 150 ° C (302 ° F), which is very valuable compared to other manufacturers (100 ° C / 212 ° F), especially in the equatorial region where the temperatures are high
Water-repellent: Basic impermeability to moisture - the main reason for most damage - can be used in regions that have the rainy season or generally have a lot of moisture
Welding system: superior adhesion by fusing the glued parts together
High plasticizer resistance: Long-term extra protection from plasticizers with high resistance, even at high temperatures
