Creating Durable Labeling for WING Inflatables
In 1991, the same year Bill earned his 500 ton master’s (Captain’s) license, an aluminum boat builder in the Seattle area, ALMAR, decided to give polyurethane a try. The polyurethane air-holding tubes designed by Wing In flatables for ALMAR and adopted to a fleet of RIBs, (Rigid In flatable Boats) for use on off -shore tours in Hawaii were the best of their kind. Soon after in ’92, the Navy came back to Wing for polyurethane tubes on its Explosive Ordinance Disposal craft.
In the new millennium, polyurethane thermo-welded fabric has become the industry standard, and along with it, Wing In flatables is recognized as the premium quality fabricator of polyurethane in the world. Wing is working with R & D teams in the military, commercial marine industry, and a host of other industries to further wed welded-fabric technology to an exotic blend of applications including stealth technology, ballistic protection, port security, and air-sea rescue among others.
Flexsystems durable PVC labels with heat seal adhesive is the perfect labeling solution for WING In flatables as they are as durable and rugged as the polyurethane thermo-welded fabric that Bill Wing pioneered.
