The Scorpion A-Series inflatable oil containment boom is a versatile and effective solution used in environmental protection to contain and control oil spills typically in off-shore and open waters operations. They are made from durable, sturdy materials such as PU/PVC coated polyester fabrics. These materials are resistant to oil, chemicals, and UV radiation. The booms consist of multiple air inflatable chambers that provide high buoyancy and outstanding heave response. The underwater portion of the boom (skirt) helps contain the oil within the designated area.
