FloodBags – Sandbag Alternative

The FloodBag, is an innovative, self-inflating, flood defence system which is revolutionising emergency flood damage control.

When floods strike you have little time to act. FloodBags are transformed from being as light as a pillowcase to become as tough and heavy as a traditional sandbag.

The semi-porous inner liner contains hundreds of absorbent crystals which absorb water to 90% capacity in just 3 minutes. Once absorbed, the water is held by the super-absorbant polymer and the FloodBag acts just like a traditional sandbag to keep floods at bay.

FloodBag, used as an alternative to traditional sandbags or flood bags, allow everyone to prepare for flooding.
