AirMax - Oil Containment Boom
Elastec manufactures AirMax, a versatile, inflatable oil spill containment boom, with a high-quality Urethane fabric. The AirMax line of containment booms is designed for compact storage and quick deployment, important characteristics in oil spill response operations.
Elastec manufactures the AirMax line of containment boom with a durable fabric using a special process that ensures the integrity of the air chambers. The high visibility orange fabric assists mariners and vessel operators in avoiding potential navigational hazards. As an added safety feature, the hot galvanized steel ballast chain is enclosed in a reinforced fabric pocket to prevent entanglements and pinch points for operators. This chain also acts as a tension member for added strength and resistance of towing forces. End connectors are fitted with Zinc anodes.
