Foxfire gets colour technology

MN8 Products, a leading developer and distributor of high-performance glow-in-the-dark products for the fire safety industry, has introduced colour technology to its Foxfire product line, with the launch of its photoluminescent grip wrap in multiple daytime and "glow" colours.

"The ability to have multiple colours in both the light and dark is one of the most significant developments in the photoluminescent field," said Zachary Green, president of MN8 Products. "This capability provides considerable value to firefighters by allowing them to differentiate between tools, crews, roles and responsibilities, and identify primary versus secondary searched sectors."

Foxfire’s heavy duty grip wrap, made of industrial-grade high-temperature resistant rip-stop silicone, is designed to handle the heat and rigours of firefighting. Sold in individual rolls that can cover the centre grip of a hook or halligan, or two handles on a swinging tool (such as an axe or sledge hammer), the wrap self-adheres, does not leave residue and can be easily reused. The grip wrap also has a unique surface that will allow grip on wet or dry tools with or without gloves.

The semi-permanent product is available in the following colours: white (available in either blue or green glow), orange (glows orange) and yellow (glows green).
