Organic absorbent boom – 2.4m x 10cm

An organic absorbent boom is made from absorbent cotton fabric and is ideal to contain, divert and absorb spills of oil, fuel, diesel, petrol and other hydrocarbons whilst repelling water. The 100% natural materials in our organic range allow the used absorbents to be land-farmed (if permitted).

Organic cotton absorbents are able to absorb up to 25 times their own weight in oil and have a fast-wicking action to clean up spills quickly. Organic oil and fuel absorbents are hydrophobic, which means they repel water. This makes them ideal for cleaning up oil and fuel spills in wet environments, including ponds, sumps, drains, lakes, rivers, creeks or in the rain.

Highly flexible, an organic absorbent boom can be stuffed into drains, moulded around machinery, pushed under pallets or used to block and divert a spill from entering waterways and drains.

• Absorbent booms are great for mine site and maintenance workshops, factory and warehouse floors, fuel handling facilities, oil storage depots, vehicle repair shops and transport facilities.
• Prevent spills from escaping by using organic absorbent booms to form an absorbent barrier around drums, forklifts, plant and machinery.
• Ideal for stormwater drain protection.
• Made from organic cotton with exceptional absorbency for spills, leaks and drips.
• Organic cotton absorbents are highly water repellent (hydrophobic) – use in the rain and around water to absorb oil and fuel only.
• Fast absorption for improved safety and productivity in the workplace.
• Can be squeezed and re-used.
• Simple and easy to use without the need for specialised PPE.

Australian Made

Organic absorbent booms are supplied individually.

Organic absorbent booms are able to absorb up to 25 times their own weight in liquid by encapsulating the liquid within the cotton’s fine fibres. High absorbency to weight ratio equals lower transport and disposal costs.

• Absorbent capacity will vary depending on liquid viscosity, specific gravity and temperature.
• The suitability with a specific chemical should be confirmed by referencing the MSDS, a compatibility chart or sample testing. We can provide samples as required.
• Absorbents retain the characteristics of the absorbed liquid. Appropriate PPE should be worn and disposal of used absorbents should be in accordance with local regulations.
