Keep our oceans clean and be responsible as a boat owner by capturing the oil in your boat’s bilge with Oilinator Oil Absorbent Bilge Boom before the oil leaks or spills. What sets this bilge boom apart from other bilge booms is the technology of the absorbent material and makeup. This bilge boom has the cutting edge by carrying Oilinator’s proprietary product Incredisorb, a granular absorbent that has a strong affinity for oil, which is wrapped in a hydrophobic outer fabric preventing waste by keeping the water out, but still equally oleophilic, thereby only accepting oil and other related substances. Together they make the bilge boom oleophilic, an oil lover, inside out, absorbing up to 2 gallons of oil (in other words 8 quarts of oil). In addition, the flat rectangular shape of the Oilinator Bilge Boom Sock covers more area than compared to the round cylindrical shape of other socks. There is greater surface exposure by laying it flat against the oil. Moreover, Oilinator Bilge Boom will work on both land and water. It will float in the water indefinitely; will not sink even when fully saturated, and after usage, the product can be reused after extracting the oil (e.g., by squeezing or wringing) or by incinerating for power generation. Lastly, all raw materials used to create the Oilinator Bilge Boom are from the USA, and the finished product is proudly made using recycled materials. It is nontoxic and does not harm the environment as successfully reviewed by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
