Plasti-Fab introduces Eco-Friendly Flotations

Print this Article | Send to Colleague

DuroFloat™ flotation billets from Plasti-Fab offer the benefits of expanded
polystyrene encapsulated with an eco-friendly marine barrier.

DuroFloat flotation billets use a marine barrier coating that resists UV
deterioration, petroleum spills and provides protection from mammals, aquatic
life and weather. The coating also resists puncture for low-maintenance, longlasting
dock construction.

Encapsulated flotation have been specified and used in projects for the Federal
Department of Fisheries and Oceans and several British Columbia municipalities.
Cottage associations across Canada are requiring or recommending
encapsulated products.

In the United States, encapsulated flotation is required by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, and recommended by the country’s National Parks Service, Forest
Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA)
voluntary Clean Marina Initiative.

"For residential dock owners, DuroFloat billets offer a very simple way to help
protect ecologically-sensitive shoreline areas," said Jack Hoogstraten, Product
Manager for Plasti-Fab. "Encapsulated flotation also means less maintenance
for cottagers".

The closed cell encapsulated billets are produced in a standard size of
10" x 20"x 96", and can be used as a flotation medium for a variety of designs for
docks, marinas and rafts. Other sizes are available on request.
DuroFloat billets are available at building supply dealers in lake and cottage
areas across Canada.  Click here for more information
