FAQs Archive - Falcon Inflatables

Q: Will Falcon last in hotter climates?

Yes. Valmex and TPU in hotter humid climates lasts longer than some Hypalon boats, as the glue with Hypalon boats can fail.

Q: Why does Falcon not use Hypalon?

Hypalon is an exceptional material, but the fact that it needs to be glued on the seams makes it vulnerable to failure. Pressure relief valves can also get dirty and fail, resulting in constant re-inflation. Our tube construction with Valmex and TPU has seen longer lifetime than Hypalon boats.

Q: Will the hull get damaged when I beach the boat?

Some scuffing may appear over time, but the hull is exceptionally durable and strong with our composite support structure.

Q: Are Falcon RIBs safe at sea?

Apart from the 4 – 8 safety compartments in the tube, the hull can also float on its own with the tubes deflated due to our signature hull design.

Q: Can I fish with my Falcon RIB and will it puncture easily?
