    Manufactured with a durable polyurethane coated fabric, all Zodiac throw over liferaft are assembled using the advanced ZODIAC hot assembly technique, thermobonding.
Being computer controlled, thermobonding eliminates the inconsistencies inherent in the old fashioned gluing methods still used by other manufacturers.
The fabric's chemical nature and the thermobonding process make ZODIAC throw over liferaft especially inert to ageing factors in the marine environment.
Due to the fabric weight and structure, ZODIAC throw over liferaft are easy to service and require light, short sized but remarkably strong, glass reinforced plastic (GRP) containers.
ZODIAC 6 to 25 person throw over liferaft can be dropped from up to 36 meters.

The double insulated canopy is fitted with ventilation and observation portholes, a rainwater collector and large easy to close doors, successfully tested using immersion suit gloves. Supported by a strong inflatable arch it is able to withstand gale force winds and extreme conditions. Finished in a high visible colour, it also features retroflective tapes and radar attachments to help search and rescue services to locate its position.
The outside signalling light and inside comfort light, fitted with a manual on/off switch to help conserve the 12 hours drycell batteries during daylight hours, automatically activate when the canopy is erecting.
The unique rust-proof ZODIAC firing head allows quick inflation even at -30°C (-22° F) in less than three minutes whatever the size of the liferaft.
The remarkable, new and exclusive, built-in floor is a major breakthrough in survival equipment, providing encased protection against hypothermia and increased comfort.
