Absorbent Cushion

flood protection Device

Variable absorption time

It diverts the streams by swelling as it absorbs water.

The absorbent cushion is a flood protection device that absorbs up to 8 litres of water, but FRESH water only. Once swollen with water, it can also form a small wall to divert a small stream.

Materials:

  • Construction using absorbent material
  • Permeable nonwoven fabric

Available sizes

  • 61 x 30.5 x 6.4 H*

*Measurements in centimetres

Designed for:

  • Absorb approximately 8 litres of fresh water

Other features

  • Place the flood protection device where water may drip through, or where you want to form a small wall to divert a stream of water.

DISCLAIMER! Carefully follow the warnings and instructions in the User and Maintenance Manual.

  • This is a very important factor that must be carefully evaluated before purchasing a flood protection device, especially if multiple devices need to be installed during an emergency: unfortunately, it varies.
  • Suitable for houses and villas, garages or vehicle shelters, shopping centres, logistics warehouses and storage facilities, artisan workshops and industrial premises.
  • In front of doors, vehicle or pedestrian gates, ramps and other locations, to form a small wall and divert small streams of water; or to absorb any water dripping through a flood protection device within the tolerances permitted by the applicable standards, although such dripping does not necessarily occur.

I choose the Absorbent Cushion because the designers have solved these problems for me:

It swells
  • Without making a mess
  • On its own in a container of water
  • Even when you’re not present

Known defects identified and avoided as the original design was progressively developed

Absorption of any drips behind a device
  • Unwillingness to mop up the water with a rag.
  • User not present
  • Space for storing sandbags
  • Dirt resulting from filling sandbags
  • Diverting the rivulets of water that form during a thunderstorm
  • Up to 2 years for gaskets used and stored in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions

DISCLAIMER: WARNING! If the opening is a designated safety exit, a safety plan must approve the use of another suitable exit before the flood barrier is fitted. Otherwise, the space to be protected must contain no people or anything else that could be put at risk. Dripping is within the permitted sealing tolerance, although it does not necessarily occur. Additional protective measures are recommended when the device protects hazardous areas.
