SOLAS stands for the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea. This group is an international maritime agreement that sets safety standards in the construction and usage of the equipment used on ships. SOLAS requires flag states to make sure that ships flagged by their specific state comply with the SOLAS standards. Examples of these kinds of equipment are lifeboats, safety vests, radio equipment, fire-fighting equipment, and safety tapes.

One of these liquids can cause an extremely dangerous situation like a fire, an explosion, or other leakages that can harm people as well as onboard equipment. According to the SOLAS amendment chapter 2-2 regulation, ships should apply an appropriate protection system to prevent dangerous situations.

SOLAS Life Support items use Solas Retro-Reflective Tape to reflectorize equipment such as rafts, lifeboats, jackets, and vests. We designed our tape for the marine and offshore industries. This Retro-Reflective Tape is an encapsulated lens-type sheeting with a flexible and highly transparent plastic film. Because of this, it ensures long durability, high brightness, and anti-delamination. All products use an encapsulated lens optical design that generates high reflectivity, even over a wide range of entrance angles. Wet or dry, it doesn’t matter. As a result, the light output will always be the same. The tape itself has a silver color and reflects a bright white light.
Our Solas Retro-Reflective tape complies with the IMO A586(16) regulations. Also, the tape meets specifications set by the US Coast Guard and is approved by Wheelmark, Russian Register, and Korean Register. Above all, Solas Retro Reflective tape is a type-2 tape, which makes it suitable for in- and outdoor use. The tape is suitable for all applications and is made for continuous outdoor exposure.
