SuperMax

SuperMax Boom is a high buoyancy curtain oil boom suited to protected and open waters. It may be fitted with a stainless steel top cable as an option for added strength for towing applications. As an added safety feature the galvanized steel ballast chain is enclosed in a reinforced fabric pocket to prevent entanglements and pinch points for operators. The high buoyancy to weight ratio of the boom provides excellent wave conformance and oil retention characteristics.
