5-Inch Oil-Only Absorbent Booms are critical industrial spill-control tools designed to contain and absorb petroleum-based liquids such as oil, fuel, diesel, and hydraulic fluids while repelling water. These heavy-duty booms are engineered for both land-based and marine spill response, providing reliable containment and absorption in demanding environments.

Each boom is constructed with a high-absorbency polypropylene filler encased in a durable, tear-resistant mesh outer sleeve that prevents shedding and maintains strength during deployment and recovery. The polypropylene material is oleophilic and hydrophobic, allowing the boom to absorb hydrocarbons while floating on water—even when fully saturated—making it ideal for outdoor, waterfront, and rain-exposed applications.

Designed for high-capacity absorption, each boom is capable of soaking up substantial volumes of oil from leaks, spills, and surface sheen. The bright white absorbent material allows for easy visual inspection to determine saturation levels during use.

The booms feature corrosion-resistant end connectors, allowing multiple units to be linked together to form longer containment lines around machinery, drains, dock edges, or spill zones. An internal rope running the length of the boom provides added tensile strength for safer handling and retrieval.

These booms are commonly used in marine terminals, manufacturing plants, refineries, maintenance facilities, and environmental response operations, and are a key component of spill prevention and environmental compliance programs.

Each pack contains four (4) oil-only absorbent booms, each measuring 5 inches in diameter by 10 feet in length, designed to connect together to create customized containment configurations.
