Frequently Asked Questions About Inflatable Structures
What types of inflatable structures do you develop?
We design flexible technical structures such as protection cushions, medical devices, comfort components, and custom inflatable safety systems.
What materials do you use?
We work with TPU, PVC, silicone, and composite textiles, selected according to the product’s pressure, usage, and environment.
Do you produce prototypes and perform testing?
Yes, we create in-house prototypes and validate each product through leak, pressure, and durability testing.
