Product Overview

The Oil-Only Absorbent Boom is a contractor-grade containment boom designed for rapid response to petroleum-based spills on water and hard surfaces. Available in multiple diameters (4″, 5″, and 8″) and lengths (10′ and 20′), each boom delivers high-capacity absorbency while repelling water — making it ideal for shoreline protection, retention pond containment, stormwater drain defense, and marina spill response.

Each boom features a durable polyester mesh netting filled with high-performance polypropylene poly-blend filler that selectively targets oil, diesel, gasoline, hydraulic fluid, and other hydrocarbons. Stainless steel snap-clip connectors at both ends allow crews to link multiple booms together into a continuous barrier of any length. The white color provides easy visual monitoring of oil saturation levels during active containment.

Backed by PCI Products Company — trusted since 1985 — these booms meet key federal compliance requirements including EPA SPCC, OSHA HAZWOPER, and NPDES Stormwater standards. Ships FREE to the Continental US with an estimated lead time of 3–7 business days.
