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.
