adhesive for Hypopolymer

I have an inflatable made from hypopolymer, and I need to patch it. I think hypopolymer is a type of PVC but am not sure....also don't know a good adhesive/glue brand to look for.

I would talk to the manufacturer. Most of them have some sort of patch kit available with the correct glue.

"HYPOPOLYMER is not a Hypalon, Hypalon equivalent or a new fabric. The word Hypopolymer appears to mislead users into thinking the fabric is Hypalon rather than the PVC that it actually is."
PVC vs. Hypalon

Apparently you have a PVC dink and what you need is a PVC patch kit.

go to Adhesive on NRS - kayaking gear rafting supplies and boating equipment

they are great, can call or email their support with the manufacturer of your boat...and they will let you know what the correct stuff is. Just a happy user of their gear.
