Absorbent Booms Tubular mesh netting encasing a polypropylene skin and pulp filler. Used for cleaning up oil-based spills on land or water. These easy-storing booms have snap hooks on the ends for securing or overlapping in order to form a strong barrier.

Application: Used by spill response teams, oil terminals, fire departments, EPA and marinas to clean up petroleum-based liquid spills on lakes, ponds and streams, as well as on land. The pulp filler conforms to the shape of rocks close to the surface of the stream and lies flat on the ground to serve as a land boom.


Product Features: Contain and absorb spills on water or land before they can spread. PIG® Oil-Only Absorbent Booms float for confining and soaking up oil spills on water but can also be used for land-based spills.
