ABSTRACT:
Floating barriers are provided with containment means (doublecoated with polyvinyl chloride) of woven twisted nylon thread and with low density polyurethane floating means. The two previous characteristics, along with a change in arrangement, size and shape of other means in current barriers, have surprisingly improved properties, such as wear resistance and use versatility, even under extreme conditions.
