Highfield OM640 - PVC or Hypalon

[BC_explorer]

Hello,

I purchased a used 2018 Highfield OM640 and realized that I don't know if it's PVC or Hypalon. I'm trying to contact the original seller but I'm wondering if there is an easy way to tell?

On the font of my rear bench seat base there is a plate that details model, size, loading etc. On there there is an entry for the tube style - may be worth seeing if you can find a plate?

I reckon theres a 100 myler PVC units out there for every hypalon and yours certainly looks the norm from the pictures .Not sure why people worry about this as the modern myler was at least designed to modern standards this millenium ,my highfield looked the same when i sold it after 4 years as the day i bought it !

Thanks. My main reason for trying to determing the material is for selecting a cleaning agent. I understand you can't use solvents on PVC?

It’s PVC (we are a Highfield dealer) you can tell as the seams are welded
