Description

Oil Absorbent Booms Light

Our light oil absorbent booms are manufactured from a blue UV stabilised polypropylene outer and filler that will not deteriorate when outside for long periods. This high capacity absorbent is ideal for diverting or “pooling” spills.

The traditional tie joins enable sections of the blue oil absorbent boom to be tied together to make make up to any required length. The positive join will not allow the sections of oil boom to drift apart preventing oil from escaping between the lengths of oil boom.  

Their size and weight ensures that Oil Booms will not lift in bad weather conditions.
