The 3M™ Petroleum Sorbent Mini-Booms (Absorbent Boom) are a selective sorbent which will “sorb” hydrocarbon-based liquids (oleophilic) and repel aqueous-based liquids (hydrophobic). Mini-booms are typically used because of their tube-like shape to encircle spills and contain leaks. A 3 inch diameter scrim on the outside of a miniboom identifies the use while containing particulate sorbent material designed for that application.
