New Pig PLS1713 Quick Dam Water-Activated Flood Barrier
The New Pig PLS1713 Quick Dam Water-Activated Flood Barrier is a lightweight, compact flood control barrier designed to contain and divert water at doorways, entrances and extra-wide dock doors. Its flat sack design contains super absorbent polymer powder that swells on contact with water, forming a heavy, solid barrier without the need for traditional sandbags.
This temporary and removable barrier helps reduce manual labour, heavy lifting and mess associated with filling sandbags. The built-in wedge design helps prevent the activated barrier from rolling out of place, making it suitable for ongoing protection in flood-prone areas. It is non-toxic, non-hazardous and biodegradable.
