Road transport, outdoor storage, extended winter storage… Boats are exposed to numerous aggressive elements once they leave the water. To ensure their protection until they are returned to service, the use of heat-shrink packaging is now a benchmark in the nautical sector. A look back at an operation carried out in France by ALG Emballage[…]
Product updating
As part of our ongoing commitment to respecting the environment and people, we are constantly looking for ways to improve our products. Lately, we’ve been working, among other things, to reduce polluting treatments.
The first parts concerned are our SECURIPACK regulators (all references) and our gas tap (248113).
We are putting an end to a chemical treatment called “nickel plating” on these parts. Chemical nickel plating is a chemical or autocatalytic process. This purely “aesthetic” treatment for these parts requires numerous baths and numerous manipulations by operators to give our parts a “grey” colour.
Our regulator and gas tap will now have the natural colour of brass (golden yellow).
Of course, this in no way detracts from the quality of their operation or the safety they provide.

There may be a transitional period for some regulator references, and the untreated parts will appear very soon.
Thank you for your understanding and for passing on this information to your staff and/or end customers.
