Inflatable Flood Barrier

Inflatable Flood Barrier Manufacturer – DERFLEX

DERFLEX is a leading manufacturer of industrial-grade PVC coated fabrics and emergency flood control products. Among our most advanced emergency-response solutions is the Inflatable Flood Barrier, designed for rapid deployment, high-volume water containment, and structural stability during severe flooding events.

Unlike traditional sandbags that require extensive labor and time, DERFLEX inflatable flood barriers can be quickly deployed, filled, and positioned within minutes, providing a lightweight yet highly effective flood control alternative for:

• Government & municipal emergency departments
• Residential and commercial flood protection
• Construction sites and infrastructure projects
• Industrial facilities and warehouses
• Roads, riverbanks, and waterfront areas
• Military and disaster-relief organizations
  
  
  
  
  

Our inflatable flood barriers are manufactured using heavy-duty PVC tarpaulin, an outdoor-grade coated fabric also widely applied in DERFLEX’s industrial tarpaulins and protective covers. With over 20 years of manufacturing experience, DERFLEX ensures maximum reliability and durability for all emergency flood protection products.

Main Features & Advantages of DERFLEX Inflatable Flood Barriers

1. Rapid Deployment & Easy Setup

Inflatable flood barriers can be deployed in minutes. Simply unroll the barrier, connect the air or water filling system, and position it along the area requiring protection. One team of 2–3 people can install hundreds of meters of barrier within a short period.

2. High Strength PVC Structure

All DERFLEX inflatable flood barriers are made from PVC coated fabric with excellent resistance to:

• Water and moisture
• UV exposure
• Abrasion
• Puncture and tearing
• Extreme temperatures

3. Multiple Filling Options

DERFLEX inflatable flood tubes support:

• Air-filled barriers – lightweight, fast set-up
• Water-filled barriers – heavy, extremely stable during high-flow flooding

4. Reusable & Long Service Life

Unlike sandbags that must be disposed of after each use, inflatable barriers can be reused for many years, significantly reducing long-term costs for municipalities and emergency services.

5. Flexible Height and Length Availability

DERFLEX offers customizable flood barrier sizes from:

• Diameter: 0.5m – 3m
• Length: 5m – 100m per section
• Material thickness: 0.45mm – 1.5mm PVC

Custom printing and color options are also available.

Inflatable Flood Barrier Structure

DERFLEX inflatable flood barriers are engineered with a multi-layered, reinforced structure:

1. Outer PVC Shell Industrial-grade PVC tarpaulin provides waterproofing, UV protection, and abrasion resistance. This is the same high-performance PVC material DERFLEX supplies for industrial tarpaulins and coated fabrics.
2. Reinforced Welded Seams High-frequency welding forms seamless joints with strong bonding strength to withstand high internal pressure.
3. Inflation/Water Filling Valves Heavy-duty valves ensure fast filling, pressure stability, and safe operation.
4. Anti-Roll Stability Design When filled with water, the barrier becomes extremely stable, resisting the lateral force of floodwater.
