New chemical- free fabric
Evohide Mistral FRee is the latest addition to Morbern’s MorGreen collection of eco-friendly coated fabrics produced without any chemical fire-resistant additives. The fabric is vegan friendly, phthalate-free and REACH compliant. It is formulated with bio-attributed PVC resins that originate from agricultural and forestry biomass and bio-based plasticisers that are derived from
USA-sourced soya bean oil – the fabric uses 75% sustainable content.
The polyester backing fabric is 100% recycled, made from used plastic water bottles. The fabric achieves the European Fire Norm EN1021 (Part one and two) required for IMO MED Wheel mark accreditation. The combination of the ISCC and RSB certified renewable ingredients makes Evohide suitable for all indoor and outdoor upholstery applications.
NEW PRODUCTS Major update to Navico app
The app is designed to enable the crew on a vessel to remotely mirror the B&G or Lowrance MFDs and control it from a remote location on a mobile or tablet device. Another update is the weather overlay on the charts which includes key data such as wind, gust, precipitation, air temperature and pressure.
“We designed these updates to really help sailors in planning, sailing and to improve safety at sea” said Simon Conder, global head of brand, B&G. “Adding more key and real-time data for users to take advantage is vital for us in developing this app, as is providing more innovative and new features; and the new anchor alert feature is another great example of that.”
New range of cleaning and maintenance products
Oxford Products has developed a range of British manufactured cleaning and maintenance products, specifically formulated for the marine market.
Three key products in the new Oxford MINT Clean, Restore and Protect product range are Fender & Plastic Cleaner, Stain Removing Gel and a RIB Tube Restorer. The Fender & Plastic Cleaner is designed to clean and restore PVC fenders and dinghies without streaking or scratching and is available in a 500ml size. The Stain Removing Gel is a non-drip gel developed to clean and remove yellow/brown transom or waterline marks and limescale.
“It’s also highly effective for removing rust on metal parts,” explained Daniel Tomson, Oxford MINT product manager.
New IP69k certified lights
The new Discover Series D3 underwater LED light from OceanLED is rated at IP69k against water ingress. Both the Discover D3 and Explore E2 are IP69k certified against water ingress.
“IP69k goes one step further than the industry standard IP68, giving you additional protection and peace of mind,” explained Lee Hirons, OceanLED marketing manager.
In addition, the rear of the light is protected from in-hull temporary submersion for boats where rough seas and waves sometimes flood the stern. The Discover D3 has been manufactured using OceanLED’s signature optics (90° x 20°), for optimal lighting effect.
