SHS-CH1506 – SpilMax® Oil & Fuel Absorbent Mini Boom (1.2m x 75mm)
Hydrophobic Mini Boom for Hydrocarbon Spills – Ideal for Diking, Bunding & Stormwater Protection
Overview
SpilMax® Oil & Fuel Absorbent Mini Booms are designed for fast, efficient containment and absorption of hydrocarbons, plant oils, seed oils, petrochemicals, and petroleum‑based solvents. Made from durable polypropylene, these booms are hydrophobic – they repel water while absorbing oil and fuel, and even when fully saturated, they float. This makes them ideal for use around water, in wet conditions, and for protecting stormwater drains.
The 1.2‑metre mini boom is perfect for circling or bunding leaking drums and machinery, or placing between a spill and a stormwater drain to prevent contamination. It is a key component of any oil‑only spill kit or marine response kit. Tested to ASTM F726‑06 for reliable performance.
Key Features & Benefits
Hydrophobic & Oleophilic
Repels water while absorbing hydrocarbons – ideal for wet conditions and oil‑on‑water spills.
Floats Even When Saturated
Remains buoyant after full saturation, making it perfect for marine, marina, and stormwater applications.
Effective Containment
Use to circle or bund leaking drums and machinery, or place between a spill and a stormwater drain to block flow.
High Absorbency
Absorbs up to 4 litres per boom (varies by liquid and saturation).
Durable Construction
Made from high‑quality polypropylene with a tough outer mesh for strength and durability.
Tested to ASTM F726‑06
Performance verified using the standard test method for sorbent performance.
