BOCHE shoes incorporate two types of technologies to improve visibility and safety: retro-reflective and photoluminescent. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Here&#8217;s how to <strong>understand how these two technologies work.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\tRetro Reflective\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>Retro reflective is a material designed to <strong>reflect any light ray in the direction of its source.<\/strong> BOCHE shoes use glass microbeads on a flame-resistant support in accordance with standard EN 469: 2015.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\tTechnique used\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<p><strong>Glass Beads:<\/strong> With high performance capabilities, glass beads are commonly used by BOCHE for their superior retro-reflective properties. They effectively<strong> reflect light back to the source<\/strong>, making them visible even from high\u00a0distances.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\tFunctioning\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>The retro-reflective effect works<strong> without an internal energy source or accumulation process<\/strong>. When a light, such as car headlights, illuminates shoes, luminosity is automatically reflected back to that source. This helps to distinguish the reflective strips before even seeing the objects or people they indicate.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the retro-reflective strips on a safety jacket are visible in the dark thanks to the reflected light of the headlights. This ensures <strong>immediate and effective visibility.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/boche.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/JOKER-V3-AR-montage.png\" alt=\"JOKER V3 AR - montage\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"4000\" width=\"3045\" title=\"JOKER V3 AR - montage\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n<h2>\n\t\tPhotoluminescent\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>Photoluminescent, refers to a material able to accumulate light and release in the dark. It contains specific pigments that absorb light and slowly re-issue it.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/boche.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/LOXO_HIGH_PROTECT.jpg\" alt=\"LOXO_HIGH_PROTECT\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"4000\" width=\"3255\" title=\"LOXO_HIGH_PROTECT\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n<h2>\n\t\tApplications\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<ul>\n<li><strong>Fire Evacuation Signage:<\/strong> Photoluminescent pictograms are widely used to indicate evacuation path in case of a power outage or the presence of smoke. They remain visible in the dark.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Safety of firefighters:<\/strong> The integration of photoluminescent parts on BOCHE few models contributes to the safety of firefighters. In the event of an evacuation, these &#8220;Glow in the dark&#8221; elements enable to identify people quicker.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>\n\t\tFunctioning\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>For the light effect to be perceptible,<strong> prior exposure to a direct light source is necessary.<\/strong> A few minutes under daylight are enough to &#8220;recharge&#8221; the photoluminescent pigments.<\/p>\n<p>Once charged, they can glow in the dark for a period of time, ensuring visibility without an external light source.<\/p>\n\t<meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/boche.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Comprendre-le-Retro-reflechissant.mp4\" \/><div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-5126-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" poster=\"https:\/\/boche.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Capture-decran-2024-06-27-a-16.07.37-1.png\" preload=\"none\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/boche.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Comprendre-le-Retro-reflechissant.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/boche.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Comprendre-le-Retro-reflechissant.mp4\">https:\/\/boche.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Comprendre-le-Retro-reflechissant.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n\t<meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/boche.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Photoluminescent_BOCHE.mp4\" \/><div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-5126-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" poster=\"https:\/\/boche.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Capture-decran-2024-06-27-a-11.03.42-1.png\" preload=\"none\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/boche.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Photoluminescent_BOCHE.mp4?_=2\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/boche.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Photoluminescent_BOCHE.mp4\">https:\/\/boche.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Photoluminescent_BOCHE.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<h2>\n\t\tCharacteristics\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<p><strong>Technologies:<\/strong><\/p>\n\t<p><strong>By day<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\tRetro Reflective\n\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/boche.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/retro-reflechissant.png\" alt=\"retro reflechissant\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"336\" width=\"342\" title=\"retro reflechissant\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n<h2>\n\t\tPhotoluminescent\n\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/boche.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/photo-luminescent.png\" alt=\"photo luminescent\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"326\" width=\"310\" title=\"photo luminescent\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<p><strong>In the dark<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/boche.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/retroreflechissant-nuit.png\" alt=\"retroreflechissant nuit\" title=\"retroreflechissant nuit\" itemprop=\"image\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/boche.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/photoluminescent-nuit.png\" alt=\"photoluminescent nuit\" title=\"photoluminescent nuit\" itemprop=\"image\"\/>\n\t<p><strong>Energy source<\/strong><\/p>\n\t<p>No need to have internal power source<\/p>\n\t<p>Requires prior exposure to a light source.<\/p>\n\t<p><strong>Brightness Duration<\/strong><\/p>\n\t<p>Reflects light in the direction of the source<\/p>\n\t<p>Glows in the dark after being &#8220;charged&#8221;, but for a limited time.<\/p>\n\t<p><strong>Ideal Applications<\/strong><\/p>\n\t<p>Environments with moving light sources (such as car headlights).<\/p>\n\t<p>Situations where continuous light is necessary even without light source (exemple : power outage).<\/p>\n\t<p><strong>BOCHE models equipped with technology<\/strong><\/p>\n\t<ul>\n<li>VULCANO IR<\/li>\n<li>HELIOS B <\/li>\n<li>VULCANO B<\/li>\n<li>ZEPHYR IR H1<\/li>\n<li>ZEPHYR IR H2<\/li>\n<li>JOKER V2 <\/li>\n<li>JOKER V3 AR<\/li>\n<li>JET V2 AR<\/li>\n<li>JET V3 AR<\/li>\n<li>ORION<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t<ul>\n<li>LOXO<\/li>\n<li>LOXO HIGH Protect<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\tBOCHE shoes use both retro-reflective and photoluminescent materials to maximize safety and visibility.<br \/>\nThe choice between these two technologies depends on the specific conditions of the working environment.\n\t<p>Retro-reflective strips are ideal for environments with moving light sources, while photoluminescent elements are essential for situations requiring visibility in total darkness.<\/p>\n<p>By combining these two technologies, BOCHE ensures optimal protection for its users.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.calameo.com\/read\/006350298d0b92a34f62e?page=1\" target=\"_self\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Consult our catalog\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tConsult our catalog\n\t\t<\/a>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Safety is a priority, especially for those working in low visibility conditions or hazardous environments.
