The main factor affecting the service life of rubber boats is ultraviolet light. Therefore, the main means to prolong the service life is UV protection.
1. In the production process of PVC boats, UV resistant materials are added to PVC materials.
2. UV protection in use. Foreign yacht docks and rib boats are put on the dock for a long time. They should be covered with UV protection ship covers and regularly brushed with UV protection maintenance oil (extracted from the user manual of PVC boats). In this case, they can be used for 10 years.
However, if you just play the assault boat, do not do commercial use, but occasionally go into the water, you can't play it for a month in a year. If puncture and scratch are excluded, the service life should be longer. Of course, it's better to pay attention to maintenance at ordinary times:
Pay attention to the inflation pressure. Do not inflate too much. The gas will expand and contract when heated, and the pressure will be greater after exposure; The air pressure in the air chamber shall be balanced; After playing, wash and dry with fresh water to avoid frequent folding, because the crease will be tired; If possible, it can be stored with 60% or 70% inflation, which has many advantages and can prevent rat bites; Avoid contact with corrosive liquids. Clean gasoline and diesel with neutral detergent. This mainly depends on your use and maintenance. What's more, what's the material you buy? It's OK to use it for a few years.
In addition, the brand and material of the rubber boat are also very particular. If it is the products of general non brand manufacturers or unknown small factories, it will also have a great impact on the service life. Therefore, it is recommended to choose some well-known brands. Although the price is more expensive, the durability and safety are guaranteed.
