High-Visibility PPE Cleaning
Over 50 cycles, TERSUS improves the reflectivity of PPE by approximately 5% while preserving the color, fit,
and shape, ensuring garments meet desired specifications through a greater number of washes. Extending
garment life decreases replacement costs and the environmental footprint of cleaning PPE.

The Problem
If worn daily and laundered frequently, high-vis PPE degrades quickly. This imposes high replacement costs
on organizations and individuals needing to comply with worker safety standards. In TERSUS tests, reflecticity
of high-vis PPE degrades after only 5 cleaning cycles in water, diminishing by 10-70% over its useful life.

Reflectivity is improved by removing oils and dirt that clog the reflective
strips. No heat and quick cycles gets PPE back in the field quicker, over a
longer life.
