The Highest Brightness for Flexible Life-Saving Items

The Orafol^® ORALITE^® FD 1403 Marine Reflective Tape complies to several international standards for maritime equipment, meaning it has proven its qualities in numerous tests. Most prominently, it conforms to Type I and II (passed 750 respectively 1500 hours of accelerated weathering test) of Resolution A. 658 (16) by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), carrying the corresponding SOLAS imprint that is recognised worldwide.

It also complies with specification USCG 46, section 164.018 of the U.S. Department of Transportation and carries the wheelmark logo as proof of its certification to the European MED (Marine Equipment Directive).

Purchasing the sew-on version enables you to equip flexible items like PFDs (Personal Flotation Devices) with a certified tape for maritime uses. The textile backing makes it possible to sew the tape onto devices, resulting in a reliable bond between the materials.

The retroreflective system of cube corner microprisms delivers an exceptional brightness in all conditions and at wide angles. These features are essential in maritime emergencies where rescue forces may look for persons in distress by boat (from the side) or by helicopter (from above). The polymeric film itself is made up of a single-layer structure. This accounts for the superb performance in harsh environments that include continuous contact with sea water and extreme temperatures. It makes it impossible for water or other substances to enter the structure and cause damage.

Altogether, the ORALITE^® FD 1403 is a high-performance tape with convincing qualities in all essential areas for maritime reflective materials. Investing in this product means getting the best solution on the market.
