How tough are the materials?


The Aquaclip seal:

Made of injection-moulded plastics and very tough indeed. Before we introduced our first Aquaclip it was submitted for independent tests by the School of Engineering at Bath University. They certified that it was still waterproof after being opened and closed 10,000 times.

The soft case:

The flexible cases are made from a variety of special polymers, and bonded with a technique called high-frequency welding. HF radio waves cause the different layers of material to form a chemical bond, so the joins are as strong as any other part of the material. All our materials are UV-stabilized, so they will not break down or become discoloured through exposure to sunlight.

Stormproof

Our Stormproof range uses Nylon and Polyester materials which are coated with either PU or TPU to make them completely waterproof. The bags are made using either HF welding or sewn and then taped with a hot-melt tape to seal up any sewing holes.
