CANFLEX (USA) Inc. designed and produced the first ever “Surface Response
Bag," in 1986. The Canflex Surface Response Bags are “Balloon” shaped
semi-towable bladders designed to be used at a shipping port or harbor for temporary
storage of oil or light fuels that have been recovered by a skimmer.
The bladders then can be slowly towed to an area where the harbor crane or large dock
crane is able to attach a hook to the bottom shackle and hoist it from the water.
The recovered product can then be drained through the bottom fitting into a tank
truck for removal from the site.
Each Surface Response Bag has two closed cell foam floatation panels for auxiliary
buoyancy and stability. They also come with high strength polyester webbing lifting
straps treated with special coating to prevent against UV degradation. These straps are
enclosed in protective sleeves attached to the body of bag. All Surface Response Bags
come with appropriate screw pin shackles attached to the top of the
lift harness, for single lifting point.
All products are Manufactured in accordance with ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management Standard. Canflex (USA) Inc holds certificate No FM 517957
Capacities range from 1 to 10 m³ (246 to 2,460 gallons).
