This heavy duty organic absorbent boom with protective mesh outer sleeve is used to contain and absorb oil/fuel spills in bays, harbours, ponds, drains and to protect shorelines, riverbanks and jetties. 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.
- Absorbent booms are suitable to deal with oil and fuel spills in bays, harbours, ponds, drains and to protect shorelines, riverbanks and jetties.
- 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.
- Organic absorbent boom has natural buoyancy and sinks to the water level when saturated with oil.
- Rope tie joins are supplied at each end of the absorbent boom, allowing multiple booms to be joined together. When extra length is required, overlap the booms when joining to reduce the potential for oil bypass.
- The organic absorbent boom can be squeezed and re-used.
- Simple and easy to use without the need for specialised PPE.

Organic absorbent booms with rope ties are supplied individually.
Actual absorbent capacity will vary depending on liquid viscosity, specific gravity and temperature.
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.
