Rubrail Black Shark - 16 Meters

Reinforce your boat's most vulnerable contact points with the Shark Fin EPDM Fendering Strip.

Designed for maximum impact resistance, this specialized "Shark Fin" profile provides an aggressive protective barrier for RIB and tender tubes. It is the ideal solution for reinforcing areas prone to heavy rubbing, such as the waterline, bow, or any section of the float tubes that frequently contacts docks, trailers, or rocky shorelines.

Crafted from premium EPDM rubber, this strip is engineered to absorb shocks and resist tearing. Unlike standard plastic trims, EPDM remains flexible across a wide temperature range and offers industry-leading resistance to UV rays and saltwater degradation.

Key Performance Features:

• Heavy-Duty Protection: Specifically designed to prevent tube punctures and abrasions by adding a rugged sacrificial layer.

• Shark Fin Profile: The raised 21mm "fin" acts as a shock-absorbing bumper, keeping the tube fabric safely away from abrasive surfaces.

• Marine-Grade EPDM: UV-stabilized and chemical-resistant, ensuring the strip won't dry-rot, crack, or "chalk" over time.

• Universal Compatibility: A professional-grade upgrade for all major RIB brands including Zodiac, Highfield, BRIG, and AB Inflatables.

Technical Specifications:

• Width: 87mm (approx. 3.4")

• Height: 21mm (approx. 0.8")

• Weight: ±700g per meter (approx. 0.47 lbs/ft)

• Roll Length: 16 Meters (approx. 52.5 feet)

Installation Note: For a permanent, industrial-strength bond, this strip should be applied to ORCA® Hypalon or PVC fabrics using ORCA 2-part Neoprene Glue and RFE Hardener.
