SHS-CH1810 – SpilMax® Oil & Fuel Absorbent Bilge Boom (300mm x 125mm)
Compact Hydrophobic Boom for Hydrocarbon Sheen & Bilge Water Polishing
Overview
SpilMax® Oil & Fuel Absorbent Bilge Booms are specially designed for removing hydrocarbon sheen and emulsified oils from water surfaces. Hydrophobic and oleophilic, they repel water while absorbing plant oils, seed oils, hydrocarbons, petrochemicals, and petroleum‑based solvents. Even when fully saturated, they remain intact and float, making them ideal for use in boat bilges, drain pits, and other confined water‑containment areas.
Each 300mm bilge boom is constructed with a UV‑resistant, spun‑bonded outer mesh encasing a polypropylene particulate core. A nylon retrieval rope allows for easy securing and recovery. Capable of absorbing up to 2 litres per saturation, these booms are a reliable choice for ongoing sheen control and final polishing of water before discharge. Tested to ASTM F726‑06 for proven performance.
Key Features & Benefits
Hydrophobic & Oleophilic
Repels water while absorbing hydrocarbons, oils, and fuels – ideal for removing sheen from water surfaces.
Compact & Highly Effective
300mm length fits easily into bilges, drain pits, and tight spaces where larger booms cannot be used.
Built‑In Nylon Retrieval Rope
Allows the boom to be secured in place and easily retrieved for inspection, wringing, or replacement.
Floats Even When Saturated
Remains buoyant after full absorption – stays on the water surface to continuously capture sheen.
UV‑Resistant Outer Mesh
Durable spun‑bonded mesh withstands exposure to sunlight and resists tearing, extending service life.
High Absorbency
Each boom absorbs up to 2 litres per saturation and can be wrung out and reused multiple times.
Tested to ASTM F726‑06
Performance verified using the standard test method for sorbent performance.
