Red, Green or White
Inventory updated 24th February, 2020
(New Production, subject to prior sale)
We have supplied many of our flares for NATO operations in red, green, and white produced since 1985. Parachute illuminating flares play an especially important role in a wide variety of Military, Police and Naval/Marine operations. The green, which is usually very difficult to produce, works very well and is extremely well liked. The illumination flares are often overlooked, but are in fact an essential part of combat, counter insurgency, and patrol operations, including police and interdiction work. Good illuminating flares make a world of difference in operations that depend on a quality, cost-effective illumination parachute flare that can be depended upon and comes with the following certifications.
MINIMUM ORDER: We will sell and ship as few as 50 flares to qualified buyers in order that you may reach your own conclusions independently.The Hazard Class rating of only 1.4G UN # 0403 makes this simpler than usual.
Certifications: SOLAS approved. US Coast Guard approved. Canadian Coast Guard approved.
The fact that we currently have substantial inventories of these flares, that can be packed and put on a plane right now, carries with it a significant logistic advantage. The inventory that we have in stock is noted and we have broken down the packing in palette weights and dimensions so that this can be immediately taken advantage of if required without further delay. Please make special note of the packing standards and hazard class, which are immediately transportable, if required. Please contact us for details of minimum and export order information.
ORDERS BEYOND INVENTORY IN STOCK: Please contact us for production scheduling. Delivery accommodations to fit your logistic and operational priorities can be made based on what is ordered and when. Orders are accepted on a first come, first served basis to be fair to all involved.
Note: These flares have a stronger body construction and are more reliable than a number of earlier types that we have seen on the market. These cannot be crushed or damaged by putting them in packs and then sitting on them which can happen in the field.

Qualifications:
These flares are produced to SOLAS standards, US Coast Guard standards, Canadian Coast Guard standards. Please note that these certifications only apply to the red flare because SOLAS, the US Coast Guard and the Canadian Coast Guard only qualify red flares and not green and white ones. The white and green ones, however, are produced to precisely the same standard and same production process.
