RUBBERMAX
RubberMax inflatable oil containment boom is produced with the latest materials and techniques. The materials have been extensively tested according to ASTM and military standards including puncture and abrasion resistance as well as tear and tensile strength. The construction has two plies of polyester reinforcing fabric coated in synthetic rubber with compounds which are resistant to the elements and oil. American Marine, a division of Elastec, has been manufacturing quality floating boom and barrier products since 1967. For storage, we offer a line of boom reels.

RubberMax is designed with a high buoyancy to weight ratio, providing the boom with excellent wave riding and oil retention characteristics. It lies flat when stowed, optimizing storage space.
The chain acts as a tension member for added strength and resistance of towing forces. The boom is supplied with ASTM compliant interchangeable end connectors for rapid coupling of sections. This boom has been supplied around the world including the US Navy.
RubberMax is a heavy-duty boom with excellent resistance to sunlight, puncture, abrasion and tearing. As standard, the RubberMax range of booms are supplied in manageable section lengths (98 & 164ft / 30 and 50m). These shorter sections allow for a greater flexibility of deployment configurations.
The RubberMax boom has individually filled air chambers, each chamber being equipped with the patented Monsun XG valve. This valve has a built-in non-return with a rubber protection collar – protecting it from damage during deployment and storage on the boom reel. Our high capacity air blowers rapidly fill the individual air chambers as the boom is deployed into the water.

Containment Boom Reels
Oil containment boom reels are the fastest and most efficient means for storage, deployment and recovery of longer lengths of boom. Most of our reels have the ability to free-wheel to speed up deployment. Our boom reels may be hydraulic or manually operated and are suitable for both inflatable boom and some models of foam flotation boom.
