Booms are a selective sorbent which will absorb hydrocarbon-based liquids (oleophilic) and repel aqueous-based liquids (hydrophobic). They are used to stop the spread of liquids and are the first line in spill containment.

• Cover large spills or as a precaution in areas where large spills may occur
• For absorbing oil from areas where water may also be present
• Booms can be linked together by built-in connectors to deploy over large areas
• UV-resistant, they will not deteriorate or disintegrate
• Cost-effective as oil, not water, is recovered
• Can be used outside as well as in-plant
• Mini-booms are ideal for encircling spills and containing leaks because of their tube-like shape
