Bulk Oil Boom Connectors

oil boom connector

Thermoprene manufactures and stocks Oil Boom Connectors for floating oil boom containment systems. Our “Z” Style Oil Boom Connectors are produced to meet ASTM 962. Oil Boom Connectors are designed to be compatible with other existing connection profiles and the Light Duty Mini-Slide Connectors. Customer is responsible for verifying compatibility.

Oil Boom Connectors are extruded from 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, and can be fabricated to standard 18″, 24″ or 36″ lengths or your requested custom lengths and with two spring pin holes per the ASTM standard section 4.7.2. Fabric backing plate is configured to mate with our standard bolt-hole pattern. Standard material is mill finish (as extruded) and can be anodized per customer request. Standard connectors are sexless (neither male or female) and universal (neither left-hand or right-hand).

Containment boom connectors are used in a variety of industrial, commercial, and environmental applications. They are designed to join two floating containment booms together, creating a secure barrier that can be used to contain and control the spread of oil spills, hazardous chemicals, or other liquids. The connectors also enable containment booms, also known as turbidity curtain barriers, to be quickly deployed and retrieved in emergency situations, acting as passive barriers, slowing down the spread of pollutants, and allowing time for cleanup efforts to be organized. Containment boom connectors can also be used to attach accessories such as floats, anchors, and skimmers to the boom. Containment boom connectors are used for a variety of applications, such as oil & chemical spills, trash & debris removal, wildlife protection, seaweed & sargassum containment, fish farms, and cranberry farmers.
