FloodSax® Door Pack

FloodSax® are a self-inflating flood defence system used to protect your home and business from storms, flash floods and accidental water damage.

• Lightweight (dry) product is easy to carry, store and deploy; a box of 20 can be carried by one person and hundreds can be transported to a flood scene by one person in a car or van
• Simple to use – FloodSax will work with fresh, dirty or brackish water; the bag will expand from 1.2cm high to approximately 17cm high and approximately 20kg in weight by absorbing water to become taut and puncture–proof within five minutes
• Each FloodSax is made up of 4 layers with 12 internal absorbent sections creating a multi-chamber system to keep the water fully absorbed; these absorbent chambers are then sewn together into an outer sleeve of a nonwoven material
• Absorbs up to 20-25 litres of water in just 3-5 minutes and will stay energised for up to 12 weeks if in contact with liquid without leaking any polymer gel
• Once the water is absorbed, bags perform like sandbags to mould into doorways to keep floodwater out, or to divert liquid flows to stop larger floods
• Place expanded FloodSax in tightly packed layers to build a solid barrier wall, ensuring each row overlaps the joins of the row below (in the same way bricks do), to a maximum height of 1m
• A single row of deployed FloodSax will hold back approx. 15-18cm of water
• FloodSax® are 96% biodegradable by weight and can be disposed of in landfill sites once the floodwater has subsided
• Vacuum packing provides 5-year shelf life
• Can be used internally and externally, and will absorb many different types liquids, like hydrocarbons, not just water
• Can also help with plumbing emergencies inside homes and businesses, to absorb leaks, drips, spills and floods especially in hard-to-reach places such as beneath boilers and under radiators or kitchen sinks, not just water
