All Slickbar Oil Booms (except the Mk E, Mk RB, & SLICKSTOP) utilize an exclusive solid molded polyethylene foam flotation with a "splash guard" hand grab along the entire top edge of each float. All standard booms use stainless steel hardware, SLICKHITCH End Connectors (ASTM F-962), and lead ballast weights along bottom edge of boom (hot-dipped galvanized chain also available)
 
    Mk 7 DEPLOYABLE
  Heavy-duty deployable boom designed for rough use on many spills. It has been known to be one of the only booms to survive after a large spill. The urethane coated Kevlar skirt is extremely strong & durable and can be easily cleaned and reused over & over at different spills. Mk 7 is ideal for use in open harbors & bays.
     
    Mk 10 DEPLOYABLE
  The Mk 10 shares all of the same superior features as the Mk 7 only with a different size float. It is typically used in rough river and harbor applications. Because the Kevlar is strong enough by itself, no extra cables or chains are required which tend to eventually chaff through the fabric.
     
    Mk 8 PERMANENT
  Utilizing a heavy-duty "conveyor type" belting that is extremely durable, abrasion & hydrocarbon resistant, the Mk 8 is designed to be left in the water for many years. It is typically installed around oil & chemical terminals, power plants, military piers, and drydocks where instant spill response is required.
     
    Mk 16 PERMANENT DEPLOYABLE
  Combining the durability and longevity of the rugged Mk 8 belting with Mk 10 style floats, the Mk 16 permanent boom is typically used in areas that do not require the high freeboard of the Mk 8, such as terminals on rivers, piers in protected harbors, around inland well sites, etc.
     
    Mk DB DEBRIS/ICE BARRIER
  This extra heavy-duty permanent boom is designed to assist in deflecting floating debris & ice away from areas that typically experience extreme congestion from floating objects. The Mk DB has been especially effective in front of fresh water intakes to power plants, as well as in front of sensitive pier structures.
     
    Mk E DEPLOYABLE
  The Mk E is a lightweight rapid response boom that can easily be handled by deployment crews. The Mk E is available in a variety of bouyancy-to-weight ratios to meet your specific requirements and is ideal for use in most environmental applications from sheltered harbors to offshore.
     
    Mk RB RIVER BOOM
  After many years of testing on fast moving rivers, the Mk RB has been engineered to be the best design for deflecting oil to quiet recovery areas. The Mk RB, as well as the Mk E, are constructed with an internal secured float system which allows for a smooth exterior float chamber.
     
    SLICKSTOP AIR INFLATED OIL BOOM
  The Slickstop air-inflatable boom has a patented "Double wall" construction that provides extra system reliability in rough use. It utilizes high strength, air-tight internal bladders which can be rapidly filled as the boom comes off its reel. Inflatable boom systems come complete with reels, power packs, tow bridles, and more.
