Pollution control boom RUBBERMAX

inflatable

The RubberMax inflatable oil spill containment boom is manufactured from vulcanized Neoprene and Hypalon with two plies of reinforcing fabric. The bright orange (or black ) fabric is capable of withstanding degradation from sun, sea and oil. It lays flat when stowed - optimizing storage space. RubberMax is designed with high buoyancy to weight ratio - providing the boom with excellent wave riding and oil retention characteristics. . As an added safety feature the galvanized steel chain is enclosed in a reinforced fabric pocket to prevent entanglements and pinch points for operators. This chain also acts as a tension member for added strength and resistance of towing forces. The boom is supplied with ASTM compliant end connectors for rapid coupling of sections. The RubberMax inflatable boom is a heavy-duty boom with excellent resistance to sunlight, puncture, abrasion and tearing. The bright orange Neoprene/Hypalon mix reflects the UV rays better than black booms, potentially extending service life. It is available in a variety of sizes. A steel boom reel fitted with a heavy-duty gearbox is normally part of the system for larger models.
