https://www.workboat.com/datrex-inc-announces-uscg-approved-life-floats-for-the-maritime-safety-industry

On April 23, Datrex, Inc., Kinder, La., launched a new line of Coast Guard approved six and 12-person life floats, engineered for superior safety and durability.

Datrex Life Floats are made in the United States and are considered the best in the industry, featuring a robust outer shell and a USCG approved urethane foam inner core. These life floats are built to withstand harsh marine environments and ensure maximum safety. Each float is equipped with black polypropylene pendant lines and a nylon basket. They are also resistant to mildew, deterioration, and sunlight, and are completely sealed from moisture absorption making them extremely durable.

  • 6-Person Life Float (Item No. DXLF06D): 49 1/2″ length, 35 3/4″ width, 8′ x 10′ shell diameter, and 54 lbs. weight (24.5 kg).  
  • 12-Person Life Float (Item No. DXLF12D): 72″ length, 44″ width, 8 1/2′ x 11′ shell diameter, and 70 lbs. weight (31.8 kg).  

Datrex Life Floats come with a five-year warranty. Rerigging services are also available.
