Oil Absorbent Booms, 5 In Dia. x 10 Ft Long, 4 per case, 20 per pallet

Absorbency varies by boom diameter: 4-inch booms absorb approximately 4.88 gallons each (19.5 gallons per case), 5-inch booms absorb approximately 7.5 gallons each (30 gallons per case), and 8-inch booms absorb approximately 9.5 gallons each (38 gallons per case). The polypropylene poly-blend filler selectively absorbs petroleum-based liquids while repelling water.

No. This boom is designed to float on water even when fully saturated with oil. The hydrophobic polypropylene filler repels water and only absorbs petroleum-based hydrocarbons, so it maintains buoyancy throughout its working life.

Yes. Each boom features an internal nylon rope with stainless steel snap-clip connectors at both ends. You can link as many booms as needed to create a continuous containment barrier that matches the size of your spill perimeter.

Larger diameter means greater absorbency per boom. 4-inch booms are ideal for light to moderate spills, tight spaces, and stormwater drain protection. 5-inch booms are the general-purpose choice for moderate to heavy spill volumes. 8-inch booms deliver maximum capacity for heavy-duty, open-water, and marine applications. All sizes use the same snap-clip connector system, so they can be linked together.

Yes. This product supports compliance with EPA 40 CFR 112.7(c)(1) Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans, EPA 40 CFR 122.26 NPDES Stormwater, 33 CFR 154.1047(c)(2) Facility Response Plans, and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120 HAZWOPER emergency response preparedness.

This oil-only boom absorbs petroleum-based hydrocarbons including crude oil, motor oil, hydraulic fluid, diesel fuel, gasoline, jet fuel, and kerosene. It does NOT absorb water, coolants, or water-based chemicals — which is what makes it ideal for outdoor and marine use where rain and water contact are common.

This product is incinerable. Disposal must comply with local, state, and federal regulations including EPA 40 CFR 263.3. Booms that have absorbed hazardous materials may require handling as hazardous waste. Always follow your facility waste management plan and consult your environmental compliance team.

Yes. Volume discounts, pallet pricing, and government purchase orders are accepted. GSA-friendly. Contact [email protected] or call (800) 869-9633 for a custom quote.

These booms are designed for single use. Once saturated, dispose per your facility waste management plan and applicable regulations. For reusable spill containment, consider containment booms which corral oil on water without absorbing it and can be cleaned and redeployed.

Shelf life is indefinite when stored dry and indoors — polypropylene does not degrade under normal storage conditions. Once deployed, replace booms when fully saturated (the white color will turn dark with absorbed oil). For preventive containment around machinery, inspect weekly and replace when saturated.

Absorbent booms are larger (4-8 inch diameter, 10-20 ft long) with snap-clip connectors for creating long perimeter barriers around spills on water or land. Absorbent socks are smaller (approximately 3 inch diameter, 3-4 ft long) designed for placement around individual machines, under leaks, or across doorways. Choose booms for large-scale outdoor containment; choose socks for indoor spot protection around equipment.

Remove booms from the case, connect end-to-end using the stainless steel snap-clip connectors (no tools required), place or toss the connected boom line around the perimeter of the spill on water or land, anchor the ends to fixed points such as dock cleats, stakes, or structures to prevent drift, and monitor and replace saturated booms as needed.

Yes — this is one of the most common applications. Oil-only absorbent booms can be placed around stormwater drain inlets to capture petroleum sheen before it enters the storm system. Because they repel water, rainwater flows past while oil is captured. This supports compliance with EPA NPDES Stormwater permits (40 CFR 122.26) and your facility Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).
