Application: New generation patented oil containment boom. Has the rapid response characteristics of a Fence Boom with the high buoyancy of a Curtain Boom. Ideal emergency response containment boom for rapid deployment in harbours and marinas and where water conditions are rough and changeable.

• Lightweight, compact, easy to handle, impervious (non absorbent) boom.
• Rapid deployment - immediately floats as fence boom with freeboard.  
• Can be converted from a fence boom to a curtain boom by inflating the top chamber with air. This allows the boom to handle rougher waters or windy conditions. Inflation is via a 50mm Monsun valve.
• Excellent boom for emergency spill response teams. 
• Easy to clean. 
• Special extruded aluminium end connectors (ASTM) allow multiple sections to be joined together easily.
