Damel launches auto-inflatable water-safety wear

Damel is determined to win market share in the US, through the commercialisation of the SeaB2. The SeaB2 is used as a part of regular clothing i.e. jacket, overalls or vest and is built, completely unnoticeable, on the outside of a lifejacket.

“The SeaB2 inflation system is activated automatically as soon as it hits the water and it is the only system with lifejacket, worldwide, with a lifejacket that allows the user to swim crawl and access the nearest vessel or platform,” said Victor Paiva, manager of Damel.

The materials used in SeaB2 have a high resistance to tearing and perforation. In addition to being waterproof and heat-insulated, these garments protect against fire and against electric arc discharge. With built-in harness and lifeline, it allows for helicopter rescues at sea.

“We seek to combine functionality with an appealing, comfortable and practical design. The SeaB2 allows the user complete freedom of movement and can be used for sailing, fishing and other water sports, by oil and naval station workers, by the navy and even, for example, in the assembly of off-shore wind towers,” Paiva added.
