APPLICATIONS:
Product Features
- Flame retardantOptionalAvailable as an optional configuration. A flame-retardant formulation for fabricators supplying projects with defined fire-behaviour requirements. Select the grade around the test method required for the finished application.
- Self-cleaning surfaceOptionalAvailable as an optional configuration. The surface finish helps dirt release from the coated face, supporting the appearance and routine care of exposed fabric panels.
Coated Fabric and Surface Lacquer
The vinyl coating and the lacquer listed for DLT-6101 occupy different roles in the material description. Vinyl forms part of the main coated composite, while lacquer is a surface finish offered on one or two faces. Specify which finish is selected rather than assuming all rolls have identical faces. Use that configuration in a joining trial so that the sample represents the material the converter will receive.
The Fabric Within an Oil Fence
A floating containment barrier has more components than its coated fabric. The buoyancy arrangement, skirt, ballast and connectors all influence the finished assembly. DLT-6101 supplies a 450gsm vinyl coated polyester option for review within that design. Confirm the liquid contact and intended conditions separately, and examine actual joints and reinforced attachment points instead of assigning a complete boom rating from the fabric weight alone.
Application requirements — Oil Containment Booms
Specify the boom section dimensions, skirt depth, buoyancy arrangement, connector design and the expected water and handling conditions. Review compatibility with the intended liquid, coating adhesion, flexing, tear behaviour and seam integrity. Buoyancy, stability and containment performance must be assessed on the finished boom, separately from the fabric data sheet.
Finished Foam-Float Boom Configurations
The freeboard and submerged skirt together define the boom's overall depth. Select the complete assembly around the water conditions.
| Specification | Configuration |
|---|---|
| Section Length Examples | 15 m or 25 m |
| 450 mm Overall Depth | 150 mm freeboard and 300 mm draught in the example configuration |
| 750 mm Overall Depth | 250 mm freeboard and 500 mm draught in the example configuration |
| 900 mm Overall Depth | 300 mm freeboard and 600 mm draught in the example configuration |
| Float Construction | Closed-cell foam floats enclosed along the upper section |
| Skirt And Ballast | Fabric skirt with lower chain ballast; stiffeners help retain its upright form |
| Section Ends | Compatible end connectors, with separate anchoring and towing arrangements |
| Handling | Top handles and a storage arrangement suited to the assembled boom |
Construction Details
Float, Skirt And Chain
The float provides buoyancy while the lower chain helps hold the skirt down. The fabric encloses and connects these components.
End Connections
Match connectors between adjacent sections and specify the anchoring arrangement for the deployment site.

Vinyl Coated Polyester for Oil Fence Construction
DLT-6101 is vinyl coated polyester fabric listed at 450gsm. The reinforcement uses 1000D yarn in an 18 × 12 construction, with vinyl forming the coated surfaces of the composite. The polyester entry describes the textile base rather than cancelling the vinyl coating. This distinction matters when reading the specification: the fabric combines a woven reinforcement with polymer faces, rather than being an uncoated polyester cloth.
The record identifies coated fabric but does not name a knife-coating process. Lacquer is listed on one or two sides, so the selected finish should be agreed with the roll configuration. A lacquer is a surface finish, separate from the reinforcing fabric and the main vinyl component. Its presence should also be considered during conversion trials because the converter will join and handle the actual finished sheet, not an unfinished base material.
An oil fence assembly may include a buoyancy section, a hanging skirt, ballast and connection points. DLT-6101 is a material for that construction, with widths listed from 1–3.2m. The completed barrier needs its own geometry and joint design; the 450gsm figure does not determine boom height or containment capacity. Confirm the expected liquid contact and operating conditions with the material sample. For floating oil containment, review the proposed joins, towing or attachment details and the selected finish together, while keeping any liquid-resistance or completed-boom performance claim tied to specific supporting data.
