Environmental Control

PJ Bowers XPE and PE foams are versatile materials with excellent properties for spill and flood control applications.

Why use PJ Bowers foam for Environmental Management?

Chemical Resistance

Being a cross-linked, closed cell foam, Neolon XPE has a high resistance to chemicals including petrol, kerosene and oils.

Superior Buoyancy

Commonly used in commercial marine vessels, Neolon XPE is an extremely good buoyancy foam perfectly suited to spill control applications.

Durable

Neolon XPE has been accelerated age tested at UNSW with no evidence of damage after being exposed to an equivalent life of 20 years.

Workable

Neolon XPE is lightweight and easily workable onsite with basic electrical or hand tools for when requirements change or urgent replacements are needed.

How our foam is used in Environmental Management

Booms & Barriers

PJ Bowers Neolon XPE and Neofoam PE foams are used in the construction of floating booms and barriers to contain liquids such as chemicals, oils or other hazardous spills on water.

Flood Control & Water Retention

PJ Bowers Neolon XPE and Neofoam PE foams are used to create flood barriers to protect properties and infrastructure from rising water levels.

Floating Covers

Our Neolon XPE and Neofoam PE foams are suitable for use in floating covers to protect water from evaporation, algae growth, the loss of water treatment chemicals and external contamination as well as preventing odors.
