Linatex illuminates its customers


Ever been in a coal preparation plant? As you can expect, it can be a dark, challenging place to walk and navigate through. Workers have hard hats with lights installed to allow them to see the many pipes, hoses and equipment that may impede their progress.


Customers operate in other places similar to this environment: inside the hulls of dredging


vessels, in low lit equipment rooms and in mines. By supplying customers with a plain black rubber hose, manufacturers didn’t assist in improving the work environment. Until now. Starting in 2012, Linatex will offer a reflective


tape option for it’s hoses that can be used to increase the visibility of the hose helping to increase visibility.
