Color of Sandless Sandbags – Quick Dam compared to FloodSax®

One of the biggest difference between the two sandbag alternatives brands are color. One is black and one is transparent white. Quick Dam flood barrier sandbags are designed black as it has fillers that degrade faster than what is used in FloodSax® instant sandbags. The sun doesn’t cause as much harm to the high quality polymer crystals of FloodSax® due to its superior engineering and patented design.

Another reason FloodSax® sandless sandbags are created with a transparent casing, is that it is intended to provide immediate visual detection of any contamination of what it has absorbed. FloodSax® was designed to soak up almost any type of liquid, this includes oil, gasoline, urine, floodwaters, chemicals and even hazardous liquids. Once, absorbed with liquid, one can decide how to safely discard the bag. With Quick Dam’s black exterior casing, one is never 100% certain of what has been absorbed.

Re-usability of Quick Dam sandbag alternatives vs. FloodSax® sack bags

Quick Dam flood barrier sandbag alternatives, similar to FloodSax®, are reusable sandbags, which make them both environmentally friendly. However, with the black casing of the Quick Dam Flood Barrier product, it is difficult to see if it has been contaminated and if it can be truly reused at maximum capability. The white and transparent design of FloodSax® sack bags make it easy to see if it is simply filled with clean water or if it is contaminated. If the contents or liquids absorbed in the FloodSax® are safe, one can simply let the flood bags dry out for reuse.
