Description
Quick activation of anti-flooding bag
Easy to use. Immerse the bag in fresh water and wait. In 3 to 5 minutes, the absorbent polymer swells to form a rigid protective barrier. Its weight increases from 500 g to 15 kg, for immediate absorption of 15 liters of water. In emergency situations, this rapid activation makes all the difference.
Lightweight and compact storage: upstream
Before activation, each bag weighs just 500 g. A carton of 25 bags remains flat (2.5 cm thick, dimensions 58 × 33 × 2.5 cm) and weighs around 12.5 kg in total. It’s easy to store in a garage, attic or closet. Once hydrated, these same bags measure 15 cm in height (58 × 33 × 15 cm): they form a solid flood barrier without taking up any initial space. This is the main advantage over traditional sandbags, which weigh between 5 and 10 kg each before being filled.
Carton of 25 bags: large-area protection
Each box contains 25 ready-to-use units. Stacked or lined up, these 25 bags create a continuous flood barrier to protect a door, window, garage or any other opening exposed to water infiltration. Each bag absorbs 15 kg of water when hydrated. This flood protection works immediately, with no transport delays or complex installation.

Comparison with traditional sandbags
Traditional sandbags weigh between 5 and 10 kg once filled, requiring time and effort before placement. STORMBAG® anti-flood bags initially weigh 500 g and can be deployed directly on site. They offer the same absorption efficiency, for a fraction of the initial weight and a reduced footprint. It’s a modern solution for recurring climatic crises and situations requiring emergency protection without the need to handle heavy loads.
Use cases
- Flash floods: immediate activation of a barrier without waiting
- Protecting doors and windows: line up 5 to 10 bags to create a rigid barrier against rising water.
- Garages and basements: compact carton storage, rapid deployment when needed
- Exposed homes: simplified pre-positioning, superior to sandbags
- Water infiltration: rapid creation of a localized barrier in a vulnerable area
Why choose STORMBAG®?
Made in the USA to exacting standards, this bag is the result of patented, proven technology. In a crisis situation, there’s no time for doubts. An anti-flooding solution must deploy quickly, remain effective and be easy to transport. STORMBAG® meets all three requirements. The 25-bag box is designed to protect large surfaces, a house with several sensitive points, a small building or a critical area.
