The Fabric That Changes Everything
While most inflatable screens use a heavy, rigid PVC tarp, ours combine two technical fabrics, both made from DuPont materials.
Inflatable structures: the fabric used in airbags
A high-tenacity polyamide 6.6—the same yarn used in airbags and paraglider canopies, manufactured by DuPont de Nemours—woven in a ripstop weave and coated with polyurethane (PU). Waterproof, UV-resistant, washable, and exceptionally lightweight.
Projection surface: Dacron® 250 D, washable
A 250-denier Dacron® fabric, matte white (high-density polyester, 130 g/m²), secured with Velcro, machine-washable, gain 1.2, compatible with 4K and laser.
Inflatable Structure
| Feature | Our Screens | Classic PVC Screen |
|---|---|---|
| Fiber | High-toughness polyamide 6.6 (DuPont de Nemours) | Polyester |
| Armor | Ripstop | Coated fabric |
| Coating | Polyurethane (PU) | PVC |
| Fabric weight | ~110–200 g/m² | ~500–650 g/m² |
| Fiber Tenacity | 7–10 cN/dtex | ~6–8 cN/dtex |
| Tensile Strength | ~1,120 N (grab) | ~1,800–2,200 N/5 cm |
| Tear — tear line | ~370 N | ~250–350 N |
| Tear — propagation | Stopped by the ripstop | Spreads under tension |
| Abrasion (Martindale) | > 10,000 cycles | Correct |
| Fire Resistance | B1 | B1 |
Projection Surface
| Feature | Our Screens | Classic PVC Screen |
|---|---|---|
| Subject | Dacron® 250 D | Matte PVC fabric |
| Weight | 130 g/m² | about 590 g/m² |
| Gain | 1.2 | ~0.96 |
| Mounting | Velcro — the fabric stays in place | Eyelets every 20 cm + fasteners |
| Interview | Machine washable | Hand Wash |
| After the session | Can be removed in a single step | To be untied, up to ~470 ties |
A PVC fabric sometimes has a higher tensile strength: this is normal, since it is 3 to 4 times heavier. The only truly comparable measure is weight—our fabric is about 3 times lighter, and our surface area is about 4.5 times lighter (130 vs. ~590 g/m²). At the same weight, nylon 6.6 outperforms polyester in tear strength and abrasion resistance.
The fabric used in our screens is the same as that used in airbags: a material designed to deploy flawlessly and save lives. We incorporate this standard into every screen we make.
Weight: What Sets Us Apart, in Numbers
For screens of the same size, ours weigh about one-third as much. Comparison of total weights (frame + surface) with published data for a competitor's screen:
| Canvas width | Competitor Screen | Our Screens | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| ~9 m | 145 kg | 50 kg | ≈ 3× lighter |
| ~12 m | 249 kg | 80 kg | ≈ 3× lighter |
| ~16 m | 417 kg | 180 kg | ≈ 2.3× lighter |
| ~20–22 m | 868 kg | 280 kg | ≈ 3× lighter |
A hiccup doesn't stop the session
The “tear strength” rating only measures the force required to start a tear. What matters is what happens next: thanks to the ripstop weave, a tear remains localized—the screen stays inflated, the image holds, and the projection continues. On a welded PVC panel, however, a cut can spread under wind pressure.
For others, the rift is widening. For us, it is coming to an end.
Lightweight, so you can take it anywhere
Lightweight, flexible, set up by a single person, and transported in a van—no crane or forklift required. Our screens can reach locations that are inaccessible to a heavy screen delivered on a pallet:
- Rooftops and terraces — we bring the kit up in the elevator, no crane needed.
- Out in the great outdoors—fields, forests, beaches, mountain pastures, lakesides—anywhere where no trucks go.
- Heritage sites—castles, monuments, and designated gardens—where heavy machinery is prohibited.
- Boats, islands, peninsulas—access via a footbridge or shuttle.
- Inner courtyards and patios — a soft fabric drapes through a doorway.
Where others need a crane and a truck, all we need is a pair of hands.
Wind resistance and sharp image
The flexibility that provides cushioning
An inflated flexible structure flexes under a gust: the internal air mass acts as a damper. A rigid structure takes the load stiffly and fails more abruptly. Rated wind: 38 km/h in both cases; beyond that, the screen is deflated within a few minutes as a precaution.
Flexible, yet sharp
A screen that moves slightly loses none of its sharpness. The projector sits 15 metres away, often more than 30: at that distance, the depth of field is virtually infinite. A sway of a few centimetres represents less than 1% of the projection distance — the image never falls out of focus. Properly tensioned, the fabric stays flat and the image perfectly sharp.
| Our (flexible) displays | Rigid screen | |
|---|---|---|
| Under gusts | Bends — the internal air mass cushions the impact | Rigid, transmits the gust |
| At the very least | Deforms, followed by a precautionary deflation | Holds... then lets go more abruptly |
| Nominal wind speed | 38 km/h | 38 km/h |
The real cost of a heavy screen
On a competing screen, the weight increases faster than the size: the structure goes from 58 kg (6 m) to 750 kg (20 m) — the size is multiplied by 3, the weight by 13. Since the NF X35-109 ergonomic standard caps loads at 15 to 25 kg per person, the number of crew members rises exponentially.
| Size | Competitor's total weight | Lace-Up Fasteners | Team (estimate) | We |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 m | 70 kg | 125 | ~2 | 1 |
| 9 m | 145 kg | 180 | ~3–4 | 1 |
| 12 m | 249 kg | 290 | ~5–6 | 1 |
| 16 m | 417 kg | 380 | ~7–9 | 2 |
| 20 m | 868 kg | 470 | ~10–14 | 2–3 |
Staff: an entire team, or just one person
At about €200 per person per day, a 12-meter screen requires nearly 5 people at our competitor’s company, compared to just one at ours—a difference of about €800 per event, and tens of thousands of euros over a season of setups.
Transportation: a van, not a heavy-duty truck
A competing screen measuring 16 to 20 meters is shipped on two pallets and is very heavy. Ours, which is three times lighter, fits in a pickup truck: less fuel and less logistics for every trip.
Storage: A Fabric That Compresses
A thick, rigid PVC tarp takes up a lot of space and occupies several cubic meters of warehouse space all year round. Our flexible fabric compresses easily: less space tied up, better resistance to moisture.
Workplace Health: France's No. 1 Occupational Illness
Carrying heavy loads and tying hundreds of straps, night after night, is no small matter. The official figures speak for themselves:
- Musculoskeletal disorders account for nearly 90% of recognized occupational diseases in France.
- Lower back pain recognized as an occupational illness results, on average, in one year of sick leave and €44,000.
- Shoulder tendinopathy—typically caused by repetitive lacing—results in 220 to 298 days of time off work.
- The NF X35-109 standard sets the acceptable load at 15 kg and the maximum load at 25 kg per person.
Our screens—which are lightweight, flexible, and secured with Velcro—eliminate the risk at the source: just one person can install them without straining their back or wearing out their hands.
34 years of durability, 10-year warranty
A long-term warranty is only valuable if backed by a company that stands the test of time. Since 1992, Hallucine has been designing inflatable screens—with more than 1,000 screens sold worldwide. With 34 years of real-world experience, we offer a 10-year product warranty—while the industry standard is just 2 years. Longevity, proven durability, and a long warranty: these three factors reinforce one another.
