TPR 300 PE Floatex oil booms, realised in standard length of 3,0 meters each with total height of 1,0 meter of which 0,3 m approx. freeboard and 0,7 m approx. immersed, are suitable for use as permanent oil boom in exposed areas.
The oil boom is composed by a rigid polyethylene plate.
Floating of the barrier is obtained by the application of special horizontally fixed floats giving the oil boom a buoyancy of approx. 30 Kg/m.
Floats are realised in two halves made in linear medium density rotomoulded polyethylene shells, filled with rigid closed cell expanded polyurethane.
These floats are applied to the sheet by means of stainless steel bolts, to permit easy disassembly if damaged parts must be replaced, and also to permits a more rational transport and storage.

The lower part of the sheet submerged is ballasted with lead loads applied by means of stainless steel bolts, to guaranty the verticality and stability to the boom.
The connection of various elements is realised using suitable metallic hinged system.
The dimensions of TPR oil boom listed in the accompanying table are indicative and FLOATEX can produce special sizes to meet customer specifications.
