Chemical Shark Repellants

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Shark Survival Kit Uses a Chemical to Disorient Oncoming Predators

— August 28, 2014 — Art & Design
Frequent ocean swimmers fearful of oncoming sharks should invest in the BCB shark survival kit that helps to ward off predators with a disorienting green chemical.

The BCB Shark Repellant is an innovative chemical compound that can be quickly opened to release a thick dye into the ocean water. The dye makes the water cloudy causing sharks to feel disoriented and lose their sense of direction. This gives you enough time to safely swim away unharmed. The substance comes in a convenient squeezable foil package so swimmers and divers can squirt the liquid into the water within seconds. The pouch also has a cord attachment so you can keep it on your person at all time. This innovative product is used widely by divers and swimmers all around the world and it's a great survival item to keep on hand just in case.
Trend Themes
1. Chemical Shark Repellants - The development of chemical compounds to repel sharks presents opportunities for creating new and effective shark deterrent products.
2. Disorienting Dye Release - The use of disorienting dyes in water creates opportunities for various industries to develop products that can cause confusion or disorientation in targeted organisms.
3. Personal Safety Kits - The demand for personal safety kits with innovative features, such as convenient packaging and cord attachments, presents opportunities for companies to design and market specialized survival products.
Industry Implications
1. Water Sports Equipment - Manufacturers of water sports equipment can explore the production of shark repellent products that are specifically designed for divers and swimmers.
2. Marine Conservation - Organizations focused on marine conservation can develop and promote shark repellants as an effective and eco-friendly solution to prevent shark attacks and preserve marine life.
3. Outdoor Safety Gear - Companies in the outdoor safety gear industry can innovate and create personal safety kits that incorporate features like convenient packaging and cord attachments for various outdoor activities.
