• Made from cotton produced from a sustainable resource, Hisorb is a biodegradable, organic absorbent making it ideal for use when land farming of used absorbents is required.
• Hisorb has excellent oil/fuel absorbency, able to recover up to 26 times its own weight in oil.
• High capacity absorbency makes Hisorb ideal for quick response mop up for a range of oil and fuel spills.
• Hisorb is highly water repellent (hydrophobic) - use on water to absorb oil & fuel only.
• Lower transport and disposal costs due to high absorbency to weight ratio.
• Fast wicking action that rapidly absorbs spills for improved safety and productivity in the workplace.
• Boom has natural buoyancy and sinks to the water level when saturated with oil.
• Rope tie joiners supplied at each end of the boom allow multiple booms to be joined together. Overlap booms, reducing the potential for oil bypass.

Booms can be ordered individually or in packs of 4.
