About

For nearly four decades, SBD Environmental has provided engineered vapor and spill containment solutions for demanding industrial and emergency response environments.

 

Originally developed by refinery engineers, Vaportite™ creates a temporary hydrostatic seal over drains, sewer openings, manholes and other potential pathways.
