If my research is correct the material used on a 2007 Zodiac CFR 310 which is listed as Duotex 2 X 1100 Decitex is a fancy name for PVC not Hypalon. Is this correct? Looking at a 2007 CFR 310 which has a inflatable floor but I do not want PVC as it will be used on our sailboat in HI.

Duotex is Zodiac's proprietary PVC material. Not Hypalon.

Dennis, you have it right. Their plastic elastomer material is actually called "Strongan". The Duotex refers to the thread lay in the weave (a 2 threads x 1 thread weave) [see image]

A 2007 Fastroller 310 would be PVC material, not Hypalon.

Hypalon was a Dupont trademark. They quit making it. There is similar stuff out there made in Japan and I think France.
