Passive RescueStreamer® General Technical Data Sheet

RescueStreamer® Film

Film used for all RescueStreamer® products is

  • High Density Polyethylene Extruded (HDPE)
  • Thickness .003 inches or 3 MILs
  • Color bright orange (NBS Special Pub 440, color 34)
  • Bright yellow available on special orders

Flotation Struts

Flotation struts used on RescueStreamer® products are hollow, air filled and sealed providing additional buoyancy and enhancing the overall flotation and stability of the deployed RescueStreamer®  Each RescueStreamer® product uses different diameter struts defined in the specific product sections below.  Flotation struts are sonic welded to the film at optimal locations and perpendicular to the deployed length of the RescueStreamer®.  This configuration prevents twisting of the film when deployed.
