Parker Systems is the original creator of OilSnare® (a.k.a. snare, snare boom or some call them pom poms). PSI specifically developed this oil snare for heavy oil adsorption. OilSnare products are for the recovery of Bunker C, Crude Oil, and Numbers 4, 5, & 6 oil. OilSnare utilizes the oil’s natural stickiness to snare within thousands of plastic tentacles to pick up the oil. OilSnare is operative even in subfreezing conditions, and are packaged in three different types -singles, rope, and boom. OilSnare is made up of flat polypropylene ribbon yarn in a patented loop design configuration.
