Barrier Boom, Polymer Embedded Filtration Fabric & OILMAT
Two needle punched non-wovens with polymer embedded in between or two non-wovens needle punched together with a polymer in between – a clever play on words that blurs the major performance and serviceability differences between the two products. To help understand the differences we decided to translate the statement and identify the published physical properties of both the polymer embedded filtration fabric and the oilmat, better assisting you with the all important decision making process of selecting the right passive secondary oil containment solution for your facility or project.

| Two needle punched non-wovens with polymer embedded in between |
Two needle punched non-wovens with a layer of polymers laminated in between. By definition a laminated fabric is a two (or more) layer construction with a polymer film bonded to a fabric. |

|
Polymers are sandwiched between a top and bottom layer of non-woven geotextiles which are then joined and firmly secured by needling them together. This technological advantage allows for the delivery of higher chemical loads in a consistent and continuous stream producing a superior quality product. |
Albarrie OILMAT/ Oil Blocker |
Albarrie’s range of engineered composite fabrics employ the particular and special technological advantage of needled fabrics. Needle punching allows us to deliver the highest polymer loading in the industry in a consistent and continuous stream, and mechanically encapsulate it between two non-woven geotextiles giving our products tremendous strength and exceptional performance.
Our continual research and development programs have enabled us to develop unique containment products and offer clients from around the globe unparalleled, innovative, and high quality reliable secondary containment solutions that outperform all others.
