MOD stickers are professional signaling stickers designed for the unique and immediate identification of the Maximum Operating Depth (MOD) of diving cylinders.
Product Specifications:
- Function: They clearly indicate the operating depth limit related to the gas mixture contained in the cylinder, allowing for safe gas management during diving phases.
- Visibility: Featuring large black numbers on a high-contrast white background. The design is engineered to ensure maximum legibility even in low light conditions, suspended particles, or during cross-checks among team members (gas check).
- Material: Made from high-quality adhesive vinyl, specifically for underwater use. They are highly resistant to the corrosive action of salt water, UV exposure, and mechanical abrasions typical of cylinder transport.
- Adhesion: The adhesive is formulated to bond firmly to both aluminum and steel surfaces, preventing edge lifting or accidental detachment even after numerous dive cycles.
Importance in Technical Diving:
- Operational Safety: They are a fundamental safeguard to prevent fatal human errors, avoiding the breathing of hyperoxic mixtures at depths greater than those allowed (risk of oxygen toxicity).
- Standardization: They follow the guidelines of major international diving agencies, which require clean, standardized, and easily recognizable marking on all stage or decompression cylinders.
- Team Management: They facilitate rapid cylinder identification during donning, boat transport, or gas exchange between buddies, drastically reducing operational ambiguities.
Application Tips
For optimal adhesion, it is recommended to thoroughly clean and degrease the cylinder surface before application. They are usually applied in pairs (one on each side) to ensure visibility of the operating depth from every angle.
