Our standard colour specification of Aquasign® underwater markers is Solis®, our UV-Stable subsea marker range.
Historically, Aquasign® subsea markers were manufactured using fluorescent dyes that would fade when exposed to direct sunlight (AltusTM range). Although the anti-fouling properties of the underwater label would remain the same, visibility subsea would be less effective.
Therefore, following completion of a successful research and development program, our Solis® specification was introduced utilising Signal Yellow dyes. The testing showed that the dyes used for Solis® do not fade when exposed to UV rays, and offered the same guaranteed high-visibility, quality and longevity as our traditional fluorescent range.
Our Solis® range is also included in our Aquasign® Performance Guarantee, with a two-year warranty from date of delivery that the colourants will not fade in direct sunlight exposure.
Protective covers are supplied with Solis® markers to ensure the surface remains clean, however can be removed at any time once installed without the risk of fading.
Further information about Weathering and Visibility is available from our Knowledge Hub below where videos and installation guides are available.

Subsea signage, subsea markings, underwater identification…name them what you wish, but when it comes to it, signage is as important to subsea safety as common road signs are to motorists. There can be numerous tree’s, manifolds and supporting hardware underneath one single oil platform: how can each template be identified? Keeping tags on equipment, what …

Biofouling or ‘biological fouling’ is the accumulation of microorganisms, plants, algae, or animals on wetted surfaces. The offshore oil and gas industry provides a multitude of different assets underwater for these organisms to grow on, but why do they become an issue? Additional weight load and drag. FPSO’s boat hulls can become covered in biofouling …
