MULLION

AQUAFLOAT RANGE

altalena-aquafloatdp

A more advanced and practical perspective on immersion suits.

The aim of the Mullion Aquafloat Range constant wear flotation garments is to protect against accidental immersion in water by providing the inherent buoyancy to assist a person in staying afloat, with the added advantage of a certain degree of protection against cold water shock and hypothermia while in the water.

These garments are designed to be comfortable to wear for the constant working use of a demanding end-user and will keep the wearer warm and dry while doing so. In the case of accidental immersion or a Man Overboard situation these garments will float the wearer indefinitely in a comfortable position and allow them to swim to a rescue boat or liferaft without encumbrance.

It is recommended that they are always worn in combination with a 275N life jacket to guarantee the optimum performance, including automatic self-righting. It is also recommended that for two-piece versions the Jacket and Trousers are always worn together to achieve optimum performance and protection.

GARMENT FULLY WATERPROOF

All outer materials on the constant wear suits are waterproof and conform to the standard EN 343. All seams on the suits are taped and 100% waterproof. The pocket flaps are fully water repellent and the storm flap which covers the front zipper provides effective waterproofing of the suit/jacket.

altalena-solasSF10

INHERENT BUOYANCY & THERMAL PROTECTION

The buoyancy of the flotation garment is created by a closed cell foam. Mullion suits have an inherent actual buoyancy varying from a minimum of 50N to 100N.

The suits provide a degree of thermal protection against cold water shock and delay hypothermia upon immersion.

altalena-constantwearSF2

ANTI-FLUSHING STRAPS

The suits are designed with anti-flushing straps to arms and legs. These can be used upon immersion. After falling in the water the anti-flushing straps can be tightened so the water in the suit can be warmed up by the body temperature of the wearer which will delay hypothermia.

altalena-constantwearSF3

MARINE GRADE WHISTLE

The Marine grade ISO 12402 approved whistle is attached to the suit and can be used in immersion situations to alert rescue teams. The whistle is positioned in the optimum position and placed for ease of access.

altalena-constantwearSF4

SOLAS APPROVED RETRO-REFLECTIVE TAPE ON SUITS

To increase visibility of the wearer, retro reflective tapes on the hood and/or wrists and/or arms and/or chest and/or legs are added.

altalena-constantwearSF5

EASY DONNING

The suits have either zips or wide legs for ease of donning over boots or shoes.

altalena-constantwearSF6

HOOD AND COLLAR WITH BUILT-IN CHIN AND FACE PROTECTION

To increase comfort and to give the wearer optimum protection in heavy weather conditions a hood and collar is added with built-in chin and face protection.

altalena-constantwearSF7

POCKETS WITH FLEECE OR FOAM HAND WARMER LINING

On every suit there are pockets (on the chest or hips) with fleece or foam lining to keep hands comfortably dry and warm.

The Aquafloat Range is made of durable 300D waterproof fabric and has an Actual Buoyancy Level of 54-74N. The key protection factors for wearing immersion suits are:

  • For working use: comfort and warmth, and waterproofing to EN 343 standard
  • For flotation of the wearer in water to prolong survival
  • To reduce any cold shock and the effect of hypothermia in water
  • To allow the wearer to manoeuvre themselves in the water and to be recovered without encumbrance, and
  • To make the user sufficiently conspicuous in the water so as to aid in their recovery.

Altalena specialises in providing maintenance and repair for suits with our Australian in-house capabilities, internationally-trained personnel, unique machinery and on-hand stock of parts. For more information, visit our Parts & Services page or contact us for a consultation.

All garments in the Aquafloat Range are available in:
