100% organic (cellulose pulp) - environmentally friendly from origin to disposal
Liquids are absorbed through capillary
action and locked into the fibres - liquids adhere to the exterior surface of clay and diatomaceous earth
Absorbs instantly on contact - faster than clay, DE (diatomaceous earth), corncobs and
peat moss - no need to sit
and soak
Absorbs up to 6-7 times more volume than mineral (clay) sorbents
Absorbs all liquids except strong acids, caustics, hydrazines & hydrazides
Retains absorbed liquids - no leaching, draining or secondary spills
No health hazards - does not contain crystalline silica dust (which is a known cause of silicosis and a probable carcinogen) associated with clay and DE (diatomaceous earth)
Anti-static
Non-abrasive - will not damage equipment, machinery or floors
Works in all temperatures - hot to freezing conditions
Socks, Booms & Pillows float - even when fully saturated
Minimizes waste
Flexible disposable options :
Landfill - won’t leach or drain under pressure
Passes and exceeds Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedure (TCLP) and Paint Filter Test (PFT)
Incineration - incinerable at low temperatures (industrial boilers etc) with minimal residual ash - less
than 1% ash
Bioremediation - land farming - will break down into natural organic elements by adding microbial enzymes
Summary
Products that work faster and make it easier to control, contain and clean up spills
