Brochure Available On 'Sea Fence' Oil Containment Boom

A full-color brochure on the Sea Fence® oil containment boom, the newest environmental protection product developed by Seaward International, Inc., is now available from the Falls Church, Va.

company.

The brochure describes the construction of the Sea Fence and details specifications of the boom, which is available in both Inner Harbor and Outer Harbor sizes.

Floats on the boom are cut from blocks of flexible closed-cell foam.

Bottom tension for this fencetype boom is provided by a belt of lightweight Kelvar filaments.

A final coating of polyurethane elastomer covers the entire assembly, and is said to give the Sea Fence outstanding resistance to oil, water, sunlight, and abrasion.

Originally designed for the U.S.

Navy, the Sea Fence boom combines the light weight and ease of handling required for quick response with the toughness of a permanent type boom. Rapid deployment is made easy by its ability to be stored on and deployed from a reel.
