CSM by Any Other Name is Still CSM

For years Achilles has used CSM manufactured by DuPont under their brand name Hypalon®. DuPont has ceased producing CSM so the Hypalon brand is no longer available. But Achilles still uses CSM manufactured to the same exacting specifications we have always demanded.

With DIN 4102 B1 certificate

Do you manufacture tents or other canvas products? Are you looking for a flexible PVC window film with excellent transparency and fire-resistant properties? Then choose the Vinistar FRX PVC window film from Achilles. This film has been developed for standard applications, and is available in a width of 1.83 m.

• Made in Japan
• UV resistant (Little to no risk of discolouration)
• B1 certificate
• Extremely high transparency
• Reach conform
• Non stick formulation
• Around 90% filtering of harmful UV radiation
• Good weather resistance (including against frost)

The Vinistar Extruded is made in Japan using a unique extruded production process in which the PVC is pushed through a mould. This results in a smoother surface and therefore a higher transparency than with calendared PVC film.

Vinistar Extruded also has a higher resistance to UV radiation, which makes the PVC Film last longer with less discolouration. This PVC film is suitable for high frequency and hot air welding. You can also easily stitch the film into, for example, polyester, nylon or PVC coated industrial fabric.

For distributors and manufacturers in Europe, the high-quality Vinistar Super PVC film has been the trusted choice for many years.

Vinistar Super PVC films are produced with Quick Release. This results in less cohesion which makes the PVC film less sticky, runs smoothly off the roll and is easy to process. The Vinistar Super is UV resistant and even in the most challenging weather conditions guarantees optimal transparency and a lasting beautiful appearance of your tents, boat covers and related outdoor products.

For processing, the PVC film is suitable for high frequency and hot air welding. You can also easily stitch the film into, for example, polyester-, nylon- or PVC-coated industrial fabric.

The Vinistar FRX fire retardant PVC film has been specially developed for applications where safety is very important. For example, tents, marquees, flexible partitions and domes. The retardancy is tested by an independent laboratory according to German DIN 4102-B1 and French NF P 92-503 (M2) standard.

Furthermore the PVC film is transparent, UV stabilised and suitable for the most demanding weather conditions. The PVC film can be processed by both high frequency and hot air welding. You can also easily stitch the film into, for example, polyester-, nylon- or PVC-coated industrial fabric.
