Under the slogan "A Clean Sea for Future Generations", Matt Chem, a company specialized in cleaning, maintenance and renovation products for boats and caravans, announces a new reformulation of its products.

Following the decree of new regulations that inhibit the use of biocides in cleaning products, the company has selected a new formulation using enzymes and bacterias, with the aim of ensuring a high level of human and animal health as well as environmental protection.

Enzymes are proteins found in living organisms which are key elements in the development of life. Products like beer, yogurts or cheese are formulated through these proteins.

The role of enzymes in Matt Chem products is to ensure that organic matter is transformed into smaller, water-soluble deposits resulting in the following key factors:

1. NEUTRAL PH Cleaning

2. Detergency + Environmentally-friendly

3. Sustainable development

4. User safety

In the background, naturally, enzymes and bacteria digest and deteriorate organic matter, fats, limestone and allow unpleasant odors to be controlled.

The rescueME EDF1, developed by Ocean Signal, is the Electronic Distress Hand Flare more compact in the world, providing to its users a safe and last visual signalization solution in case of emergency situations.

While a pyrotechnic handflare burns for 60 seconds, the light of the electronic Hand Flare allows a much longer duration that can reach six hours in Economic Mode and two hours in Ultra (intense) Mode with emission of SOS signal.

In case of emergency, the use of a pyrotechnic handflare can be lucky or unlucky, once its burning may not be seen by other vessels, reducing the chances of locating and rescuing. The EDF1 increases this probability once it can be repeatedly used in any of those four modes, guaranteeing a continuous visibility for a long period. This device is safe to store and to use, eliminating any warnings associated to its discard.

Also, it doesn’t need police authorizations for its acquisition or destruction. It is an excellent complement to pyrotechnics with a long-lasting light emission, compact size and rugged design, what makes the rescueMe EDF1 an ideal safety product to include in the drop bag, liferaft or in a backpack.

Features and specifications:

• Advanced LED Technoloy - Safe Operation
• 360º good visibility on the azimuth
• Good visibility for airplanes and helicopters
• Four operating modes plus SOS signaling
• Reach up to 7 miles

• Storage Temperature: -30°C to + 70°C
• Dimensions: 187 mm (high) x 42 mm (diameter)
• Weight: 155gr
• LiMnO2 Primary Lithium Battery
• Battery with test function
• Battery Operational Life: + 6 horas 

Developed by Ocean Signal, MOB1 is an AIS personal locator equipment with incorporates a DSC. Its size, really small, makes it compatible even with the most compact inflatable lifejackets for a local fast rescue.

It alerts all the vessels in the accident area who use AIS, and this alert can also arrive to them via VHF from DSC message sent. The DSC message can be single DSC All Ships Distress Alert model, with an alert for all the navigation at the zone, or can be Individual Distress Relay model, to alert only the vessel’s VHF.

You can change the device setting if you change boats. It is enough to do this with the new boat MMSI at Ocean Signal website.
