RuptureSeal™ Marine Test Results!
RuptureSeal™ Marine was designed to effectively seal
through-hull punctures from either the inside or the outside of the hull of a
watercraft.
We were recently asked a question by one of our customers,
our friends at Landfall Navigation. Would RuptureSeal™ Marine be effective in
maintaining air pressure in the pontoon of a rigid inflatable boat.
An intriguing question and fortunately Jason Champagne at
SeaMasters in Dartmouth NS Canada, who repairs rigid inflatables, offered to do
a test. Jason and his colleague Simon
Yip used the product in a repair to an RIB that came in to SeaMasters.
Here’s what Jason said about the test.
Good afternoon Karl, We did
some tests on your product with a Zodiac and it works fairly well. There
is a small leak that comes out through where the wire tie pull is but it enabled
us to keep half of the pressure in the Zodiac for at least 2 hrs. (1.5)
psi was the pressure. I am truly surprised that it worked but pleased
with the results. Hope that this helps you a bit?
Thanks
Jason
Yes, thanks Jason, this certainly
does help.
This means that if you use
RuptureSeal™ Marine in a puncture or gash on an RIB you will likely be able to
get back to safe harbor since the air pressure will be maintained at a
functional level for about two hours.
Here are some images and
explanations of the test that took place.
Thanks Jason and Simon, much
appreciated.

Safe boating.
