ELASTEC: Optimax I & II

Foam Filled Containment Boom

Elastec Optimax booms are comprised of a solid foam log with an added tension member and a skirt. This oil and debris barrier is typically for protected water and fast current use. The top cable and bottom chain give the boom extra strength - holding the boom together even if the fabric becomes damaged.

Optimax is a strong, versatile containment boom meeting OPA 90* specification for use in rivers, streams and near shore environments. OptiMax II is the contractor’s boom of choice for rivers and streams where conditions such as a fast current may exist that requires additional buoyancy reserve. In strong currents, shorter boom skirts are available to reduce drag.

Optimax boom is an industry standard oil containment boom. The stable, closed-cell foam log provides high buoyancy reserve. Manufactured in coated polyester material (other fabrics on request), this boom is fitted with handles and anchor points, as well as being offered with a variety of accessories.

Optimax boom comes in standard section lengths of 50ft or 100ft (15m or 30m). Custom lengths are available upon request. The boom is supplied with ASTM compliant interchangeable end connectors for rapid coupling of sections. End connectors are fitted with sacrificial Zinc anodes.
