Oil Absorbent Booms / Marine Booms

Absorbents are indispensable tools across all industrial facilities where liquids are handled, they enable them to swiftly manage and clean up spills of liquids like oil, chemicals, and water.  They are strategically used for spill response, leak management under machinery, routine maintenance to prevent accidents, and even within containers during storage and transport to ensure environmental protection by averting hazardous liquid contamination.  Absorbents are available in various shapes, sizes, and capacities, through our website, you can easily find the right-sized Absorbents for your needs.

Absorbent Pads are the most common product used for Spill Control, ZOXDY Absorbent Pads are manufactured from premium quality polypropylene ensuring superior performance compared to cheaper alternatives.  Absorbent Pads are available in various weights and capacities to suit different spill control & containment needs, and they serve multiple functions, they can act as Socks and Pillows in addition to their primary use. When dealing with spillages, you can deploy them at the edge of the spillage area to prevent further leakage, for containing leaks directly, simply fold them twice and place them underneath the affected area, effectively using them as pillows.  This versatility highlights how one product can provide numerous solutions for various spill containment needs.

The most critical factor in selecting an Absorbent Pad is “its weight excluding carton packing”.  More weight signifies higher quality, superior fluid retention, and better absorption capabilities.  Our Absorbent Pads are available in packs of 50, 100 & 200, and range in weight from 2 Kg to 11 Kg per pack, choose the right option that best meets your specific requirements.

A few hundred grams less means less polypropylene and lower absorbing capacity. It's almost impossible to achieve the same absorbency as ours with less weight. The equation is simple: more absorbent weight (without packs) equals greater absorbency.

ZOXDY premium quality, hydrophobic Oil-Only Absorbent Booms are renowned for their exceptional effectiveness in marine-based spill control.  Available in 5” and 8” diameters, each boom is manufactured with UV-resistant outer plastic netting and a spun-bond inner sock that securely holds a 100% polypropylene hydrophobic core pulp. Moreover, booms are equipped with heavy-duty nylon rope spanning their entire length, complemented by load-weight capacity-tested steel snap hooks and rings at each end, these features ensure safe and efficient connection of multiple booms, allowing for extensive coverage of large areas. Booms are also available in Universal and Chemical versions. These can serve as preventive measures by placing them around frequently used drums or machinery prone to leaks.  This helps prevent spillage from spreading further, enhances workshop security, and keeps floors clean from liquid spills.

Absorbent socks and pillows are another versatile tool crucial for managing and containing liquid spills in diverse industrial and commercial settings. Socks are strategically placed around spills or leaks to create barriers that prevent liquids from spreading, thus minimizing contamination risks and safeguarding surrounding areas. They are also utilized along machinery edges to intercept leaks before they reach the floor, preventing potential slips and falls. Meanwhile, pillows excel in rapidly absorbing large volumes of liquid, providing effective support directly under leaks or spillage areas. Their versatility allows them to be deployed in confined spaces or under machinery where other absorbents may be challenging to place effectively. Together, absorbent socks and pillows play an essential role in spill response and prevention strategies, ensuring targeted containment and absorption to uphold a safe and clean work environment.

OSWEEP, also known as Oil Sweep, stands out for its multifaceted advantages in managing oil spills and controlling oil pollution in diverse water environments. Renowned for its exceptional efficiency, OSWEEP excels in containing and absorbing oil spills on water surfaces with its specialized design, which efficiently traps oil while repelling water. Its versatility extends across various water bodies including oceans, rivers, lakes, and ponds, as well as industrial settings equipped with water containment areas. This versatility ensures widespread applicability in both routine maintenance and emergency spill response scenarios, where its ease of deployment and maneuverability prove pivotal. OSWEEP not only safeguards aquatic ecosystems, shorelines, and wildlife habitats by swiftly containing and absorbing oil before it can spread and inflict significant environmental harm but also promotes sustainability through potential reuse after thorough cleaning, thereby reducing overall waste and environmental impact. Moreover, OSWEEP facilitates regulatory compliance by offering a reliable method for organizations to manage and clean up oil spills effectively, underscoring its indispensable role as a practical and efficient solution in mitigating the environmental impact of oil spills in water environments.  -   This is not available in Universal and Chemical absorbent types.
