Frequently Asked Questions

What is FLOODBAG™ and how does it work?

FLOODBAG™ is a patent-pending sandless sandbag developed and manufactured by Monarch Green, Inc. which has a long and proud tradition of patenting and manufacturing a wide variety of eco-friendly products for oil-spill and Hazmat clean-up applications. FLOODBAG™ contains an all-natural proprietary blend of cellulosic material which expands rapidly upon contact with either fresh or salt water.  The material within each FLOODBAG™ is also capable of absorbing oil and other petrochemicals from contaminated water.

What is the size of FLOODBAG™?

FLOODBAG™ is 14 inches wide, 26 inches long, and 2 inches high when it leaves the factory in its dry “pre-activated” condition.  Once it comes in contact with water and “activates”, its height ultimately reaches an industry-best maximum of six inches plus.

What are the greatest advantages of using a FLOODBAG™ instead of a regular sand bag?

  1. Cost of materials, shipping, labor, and injury risk. Eliminate the expense of having large amounts of heavy sand shipped to your location, and then later removed by a clean-up crew once the event is over. 100 Conventional sandbags would require approximately two tons of sand.
  2. Convenience. Eliminate the need to have sufficient manpower and equipment on standby to rapidly deliver and fill each sandbag before it’s too late to protect your property.
  3. Rapid Deployment. Under normal circumstances, a single adult individual of average size and strength can easily carry multiple at one time. This makes deployment much quicker and easier compared to dealing with conventional 40-pound sand-filled bags which must first be filled by a two-man crew and then lugged to the desired location which may be a considerable distance from the sand pile.
  4. Preparedness. Given the light weight and compact size of FLOODBAG™s in their dry, pre-activated state, it is easy to store a supply of them in a garage, attic, basement, or utility closet so that you have them on hand and ready to deploy the moment floodwaters threaten your property.

How does FLOODBAG™ compare to other sandless sandbags?

  1. Salt Water. A very important advantage that FLOODBAG™ has over competitive brands is its ability to not only be activated by salt water, but then to remain 100% effective in salt water, fresh water, brackish water, or oil-contaminated water . This is vitally important to property owners in coastal areas where hurricane-induced storm surge is a recurring threat, or in cold weather climates where salt-laced snowmelt is the norm.
  2. Activated Thickness. Once fully activated, FLOODBAG™ is an unsurpassed six inches high — which is a key factor in determining how many will be needed to ensure that the height of your protective barrier is greater than the encroaching floodwaters. This height advantage could translate into huge savings when constructing a barrier several feet in length.
  3. Pre-activated weight. Once sandless sandbags are strategically placed in the anticipated path of the oncoming floodwaters in their dry, pre-activated state, it is extremely important that they remain in place and not be moved out of position by high winds, foot traffic or the initial encounter with the approaching floodwaters during the activation phase. In its pre-activated state, FLOODBAG™, while light enough for a child to carry, and twice as thick, as competitive products.
  4. Sorbent Components. Unlike rival brands, FLOODBAG™ is extremely effective without the use of exotic chemicals, powders, or gels.  FLOODBAG™ is not a diaper, it doesn’t become “slimy” once it’s activated, and it doesn’t leak discoloring chemical residue onto tile or cement surfaces.
  5. American Made Toughness and Durability. FLOODBAG’s™ active components are made in the U.S.A. from 100% recycled cellulosic and other materials and encased in a tough, long-lasting polypropylene fabric designed for rough treatment in all-weather conditions, including freezing temperatures.  No rival product lasts longer, works better, or provides more “bang-for-the-buck” than FLOODBAG™.

What is the “Shelf Life” of FLOODBAG™?

FLOODBAG™ can be stored indefinitely without impairing its effectiveness provided that it’s stored in a dry environment.

How does FLOODBAG™ compare to other sandless sandbags in salt water / storm surge environments?

FLOODBAG™ is 100% effective in both fresh AND salt water.  While many competitive brands clearly state that they can only be used with fresh water, others claim that their product is effective with salt water – but only if they are first activated with fresh water.  And even then, it’s a “one-and-done” situation because they candidly admit that, unfortunately, re-use with salt water is not an option. By comparison, FLOODBAG™ has zero vulnerability to salt water which makes it the clear and obvious choice for dependable, on-going storm surge protection.

Is FLOODBAG™ effective in snow and freezing conditions?

YES.  FLOODBAG™ is a rugged, tough, durable, all-weather, all-terrain, all-temperature product that maintains its effectiveness even in freezing temperature environments. This, coupled with the fact that it works equally well with salt water, makes it the ideal choice for protecting your property against snowmelt runoff even if salt is used for de-icing driveways and roadways.  It can also be used by highway maintenance crews to help control road surface flooding.

Is FLOODBAG™ Re-Usable?

YES.  Once deployed, FLOODBAG™s can either be left in place for months while maintaining full effectiveness, or in a post-event situation, they can be saved and re-used multiple times.

How much does FLOODBAG™ weigh?

Each FLOODBAG™ is filled at the factory with of a proprietary blend of cellulosic sorbent and other material.  This ideal “pre-activated” weight ensures that when FLOODBAG™ is deployed in its desired location, it will not blow around during windy conditions or become easily displaced as floodwaters begin to push against it, or be disturbed by foot traffic.  At the same time, it’s also lightweight enough so that multiple FLOODBAG™s can be easily transported and put in place by a single individual.  Once FLOODBAG™ encounters water, it quickly “activates” by absorbing the water and, within a few minutes, it reaches its ultimate weight.

Is FLOODBAG™ an “Eco-Friendly” product?

Yes.  The components within FLOODBAG™ are made from 100% U.S.A. recycled material which is 99% biodegradable, making FLOODBAG™ a “Green” or “Eco-Friendly” product.  Also, once FLOODBAG™ has served its useful purpose in a post-event scenario, the outer casing material can be easily opened and the cellulosic content within can be left behind to biodegrade naturally.

Is the absorption material within FLOODBAG™ harmful to wildlife?

  1. The contents within FLOODBAG™ are non-hazardous and non-toxic.

Once I’ve deployed FLOODBAG™ to protect my property, how long will it remain effective?

The components within FLOODBAG™ are impervious to weather conditions so there is no theoretical upper limit as to how long it will remain effective.  Eventually, after several thousand hours of continual exposure to harmful U.V. rays, the rugged outer casing material will begin to degrade and lose strength, but if left in place undisturbed, FLOODBAG™ should remain effective for up to 1 year depending on circumstances.

Does FLOODBAG™ rip open or tear easily?

  1. FLOODBAG™’s outer casing is made from a rugged, heavy duty polypropylene material that is designed to not only withstand harsh treatment and rough handling in rugged conditions, but is also made to withstand months of exposure to harsh Ultra Violet radiation. The tough, durable outer casing makes FLOODBAG™ equally effective whether deployed on the uneven ground of a forested hillside, on the smooth pavement of a garage driveway, or on your front lawn or doorstep.

Can I use FLOODBAG™s to build a wall of protection around my property?

YES.  Whenever a substantial amount of flooding is anticipated, the obvious goal is to make the height of your protective barrier greater than the anticipated height of the encroaching floodwaters.  You can readily adjust the height, stability, and effectiveness of your barrier by simply stacking FLOODBAG™s on top of one another in a triangular or pyramid shape whereby the lower row of FLOODBAG™s is one bag wider than the row immediately above it.

Is FLOODBAG™ compliant with the Trade Agreements Act (“T.A.A”)?

YES.  The overwhelming percentage of the components used in the manufacture of FLOODBAG™ are made from recycled 100% American made material.

Will MYFLOODBAG™s become moldy after initial use?

PERHAPS.  Each MYFLOODBAG™ is treated at the factory with an all-natural Mold Growth Inhibitor in an attempt to address this issue.  While we cannot guarantee the absence of mold in all conditions and circumstances, rigorous product testing thus far indicates that our Mold Growth Inhibitor is highly effective.   To the best of our knowledge, we know of no other sandless or sand-filled sandbag with this unique extra feature
