Used in the construction of flood defences in a similar way to traditional sandbags. Available in large quantities for use by Emergency Services, operators of waterside installations, construction businesses, and anyone needing to protect medium/large sites.
Aqua-Sac® is a sturdy jute sack containing a superabsorbent polymer (as used in disposable nappies!). After soaking in freshwater for approx 5 minutes, it expands to over 30 times its original size.
The un-inflated bag is compact to store (1,000 bags can be stored on a standard pallet, as compared to only 25 traditional filled sandbags) and easy to transport (each bag weighs only 0.4kg, and can be easily inflated on-site). The inflated bag weighs 13kg and measures 54 x 31 x 10.5 cm.
Supplied in sealed packs of 5 bags, with a shelf-life in excess of 5 years.
Made from benign and biodegradable materials. Can be reused, subject to a drying-out period and provided they have not been contaminated by chemicals, sewerage etc.
