PFDs AND LIFE RAFTS
Built to Perform. Trusted When Lives Are on the Line
Coated Fabrics Engineered for PFDs, Life Rafts, and Survival Gear
When it comes to inflatable life vests and personal flotation devices (PFDs), performance and reliability aren’t optional – they’re mandatory. That’s why leading manufacturers across marine, aviation, and defense industries trust E Squared’s coated technical fabrics.
Our TPU and PVC-coated nylons and polyesters are rigorously tested for air retention, weldability, and environmental durability. Whether you’re developing life rafts for aviation emergencies, PFDs for commercial boating, or survival suits for tactical missions, E Squared materials are engineered to deliver safety-critical performance under pressure.
Why TPU Works for Life Vests and Rafts
- Superior air retention for consistent buoyancy
- Saltwater, UV, and mildew resistance for harsh environments
- Weldable seams for leak-free inflation chambers
- Lightweight, compact profiles for easy storage and deployment
- Soft-touch options for long-duration wearability
Featured Materials
- 8 oz Reinforced TPU-Coated Nylon Inflatable
- Heavy-duty construction with exceptional durability and air retention. Ideal for rugged use and larger PFDs.
- 7 oz Reinforced TPU-Coated Nylon – Inflatable
- Lightweight and flexible with strong weldability. Perfect for compact vests and recreational designs.
Expanding into Aviation Safety
E Squared materials are now being used in the next generation of inflatable aviation life vests and life rafts. These safety-critical applications require rapid inflation, long-term durability, and compact storage profiles—all of which are core design strengths of our coated fabrics.
We’re proud to support products that protect lives not just on water—but also at 30,000 feet.
