COMFORTABLE SAFETY APPAREL FOR REAL LIFE
Alpha Garments feature patented VizLite DT
which offers 3 levels of protection:
Alpha's patented VizLite DT tape utilizes innovative phosphorescence technology solving low-light problems.
As the wearer’s environment becomes “dim” the phosphorescent technology begins to slowly release stored energy that the human eyes sees as a “glow” offering the wearer a new type of visibility.
This patented formula exceeds ANSI standards for visibility and durability, achieving up to 10 times the required wash/wear life of typical high visibility garments.
A typical high visibility garment offers daytime and nighttime visibility - with one flaw. In the day - the bright colored fluorescent fabric keeps users conspicuous. In the night, silver retro-reflective tape kicks in by reflecting light back to its source (car headlights for example). When no light source is available, both the silver reflective and the fluorescent fabric are invisible. Here's where Alpha WorkWear offers a solution!
Imagine a garment that provides visible confidence to the wearer in all types of light situations. Alpha's patented VizLite DT tape utilizes innovative phosphorescence technology to solve this low-light problem. As the wearer’s environment becomes “dim” our phosphorescent technology begins to slowly release stored energy that the human eyes sees as a “glow” offering the wearer a new type of visibility. Our patented formula exceeds ANSI standards for visibility and durability. We achieve up to 10 times the required wash/wear life of typical high visibility garments.
Alpha's garments offer a level of protection not yet seen in the industrial market. We've worked extensively to develop our patented DT tape and technical fabrics to provide the optimum mix of protection, durability and comfort to deliver best in industry garment performance.
Once fully charged - VizLite® DT has an emission lifetime of up to 8 hours. The glow’s brightness reduces sharply in the first 15 minutes but then at a slower pace over the remaining period of time. In zero or very low light conditions the viewer will see very little reduction in the afterglow as their eyes would have adjusted to the darkness.
However, when the viewer goes from a bright to dark area their vision of the glow’s brightness will be lower as their eyes have not adjusted. Florescent and reflective materials need an external light source. Florescent fabric absorbs UV daylight and reflective tape reflects light back to the source. Phosphorescent materials are ideally suited for low light and no light conditions whereas fluorescent fabrics are best suited to low light and daylight conditions, especially dawn and dusk.
