Mk 10 Style Heavy Duty Containment Boom
The Mk 10 Style Heavy-duty oil containment boom is manufactured with special Kevlar material for its strength characteristics. The Kevlar fabric eliminates the requirement for any cable tension members. This oil containment boom is designed for frequent deployments in harsh conditions.
The Mk 10 oil boom is ideal for calm waters in bay areas that are exposed to harsh environmental conditions.
It is available in 12” (31cm), 14” (36cm), 16” (41cm), 18” (46cm) or 24” (61cm) overall heights and in 50’ (15m) or 100’ (30m) section lengths.
Mk 10 Oil Containment Boom Features
Flotations: 48” (122cm) long x 6.5” (16.5cm) high Solid Molded Closed Cell Polyethylene Foam with UV Inhibitors and Anti-Oxidants Incorporated for Durability
Fabric: Woven KEVLAR 3000 denier 10 x 10 coated with Urethane with UV Inhibitors and Anti-Oxidant Additives Tensile Strength of over 1,000 lbs./inch of width
Edge Guard: 3/16” (5 mm) thick x 1” (25 mm) wide Urethane coated Polyester Edge Guard that is welded to the Top Edge of the boom. This guard reduces possibly of fatigue induced tears under adverse conditions.
Connectors: ASTM F-962 Standard Marine Grade Aluminum with Stainless Steel Hardware
Corrosion Protection: Clear Coat Sulfuric Anodized (per MIL Spec # : MIL-A-8625,Type II, Class 1) Aluminum
