Field-proven performance works in all conditions to absorb oil spills on land or water
Floats to confine and soak up spills on water; hugs ground for land-based spills
Tough outer mesh is UV resistant for long-term outdoor use without degradation; lets fluids easily pass through to filler material
Rope running along length of boom withstands up to 182kg loads, adding strength for deployment and retrieval
Spunbond polypropylene skin is UV resistant up to 12 months; meets ANSI and MIL spec standards for static decay
Booms float at surface for easy retrieval, even when saturated
Absorbs and retains oils and oil-based liquids - including lubricants and fuels - without taking in a drop of water
Strong, zinc-plated carbon steel attachment clips and rings allow you to link booms together for greater length
Bright white colour makes booms easier to see in outdoor environments and clearly shows saturation level
Can be incinerated after use to reduce waste or for fuels blending
When sea-weather condition is wind speed >5 knots & a (perpendicular) water-current speed >2 knots, this can cause oil absorbent booms to submerge, allowing oil to pass over them
Waves higher than freeboard (above water) portion of boom will push oil over absorbent booms; optimal sea-weather condition for usage is typically Beafort Scale #2 or less
