Safe, stable, light, fast, fuel-efficient, easy to transport, with multichamber tubes acting as shock absorbers.
Valiant craft are manufactured with a highly industrialised process, guaranteeing greater reliability with consistant and uniform quality. Through design, planning and development with the most advanced techniques of CAD/CAM, production of the craft is automated and robotised in the main production stages. Advanced environmental controls for the manufacturing of GRP, where applied high technology eliminates vapours and by-products.
Sports series material
This material, designed specifically for inflatable craft of recreational usage, is manufactured by MEHLER HAKU, group from Germany, with more than 40 years experience in the manufacturing of reinforced materials answering the technical demands of the RIB industry for high performance materials.
THERMOWELDING®
This process which combines fusion with calendering at high pressure is used to assemble the different parts of the tubes with a system of double internal/external tapes providing welds stronger than the material itself.
VITECH®
Derived from the technology of the aeronautical industry, the lamination process of the semi-rigid Valiant craft is a combination of advanced techniques in injection moulding achieving an excellent strength/weight ratio.
Professional series material
AKRON TPE®, with a High Abrasion Resistance, has been developed for our use in Professional, Military and Rescue Craft, having been approved for this purpose by the most demanding and prestigious organizations of rescue and safety at sea. AKRON TPE, a fabric developed exclusively for Valiant Boats, has received SOLAS certification issued by LLOYD’S REGISTER Nº. SASS030012 for use in the manufacture of inflatable and rigid hull inflatable SOLAS Rescue Boats.
The main characteristics of the material can be summarised as having an extremely high resistance to abrasion, five times greater than that of Neoprene / Hypalon, together with a very high resistance to pollution, to the action of U.V. rays and to impact in accordance to the puncture test, FD standard NO-101B (method 2031).
ISO 9001:2000 Certification
In 2001 the Quality Management System of Valiant has been certified ISO 9001:2000 which applies to: Design, manufacture and repair management for semi-rigid inflatable boats.
