[ Craig Zola ](https://www.herculite.com/blog/author/craig-zola) Feb 4, 2017 --- ![Boat_Fabrics](https://www.herculite.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Boat_Fabrics.jpg?width=500&height=261&name=Boat_Fabrics.jpg)One of the most common textiles used in marine fabrics is vinyl. You might be wondering how can a plastic be a fabric? Well let’s define what vinyl is: Vinyl is created from ethylene and chlorine. When both of these elements are combined, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is formed and we know it as vinyl. Invented in 1920, vinyl is the [second-most manufactured plastic resin in the world](http://www.whatisvinyl.com/). Vinyl is also technically a specialty fabric. Most commonly, you will see vinyl in things like fabric structures, upholstery, and covers. In the marine industry, vinyl fabrics are also common. However, not all vinyl textiles are created or designed the same. In fact, vinyl can be coated and enhanced from its original form. But what does that all mean? For boaters, this means that when you’re choosing a cover, upholstery, or shade structure for your watercraft, you want to be sure you’re getting the best product for your needs. This is where Herculite Inc. steps in to help make your decision fast and easy. [Heculite’s Marine Fabrics](https://www.herculite.com/marine-fabrics) feature the Strataglass and [Regatta](https://www.herculite.com/marine-fabrics/weblon-regatta-fabrics) brands.
