Synthetic quick wicking meltblown polypropylene

 is a very efficient and highly cost effective form of absorbent for many applications, specially where a dust free product is needed. It is also useful where the product must be easy to recover and easy to store.


Poly Synthetic Absorbents

Poly absorbents are available in the form of:

  • Pads
    Cushions
    Socks
    Booms
    Rolls and mini rolls

Pads and rolls are the most popular form of absorbent material for many industries such as shipping, laboratories, workshops and any dust free environment.
Oil absorbent pads and rolls are appropriate for use in traffic areas and low lint applications. Repels water based fluids and absorbs oil based fluids. Suitable for industrial and environmental applications for quick absorption of oil. Oil Absorbent Pads are one of our best sellers.
Oil absorbent cushions, socks and booms are
Oil Absorbent Socks (Oil Only) White
These flexible, easy-to-shape oil absorbent socks are specifically designed to absorb up to 15 times their weight in oil spills and are non-biodegradable. Our Oil Absorbent Socks repel water and only absorb oil based fluids. The Oil Absorbent Socks are great for outdoor application.

SUNSORB™ is an organic product that is neither toxic nor abrasive. Highly effective in the hydrocarbon remediation industry, it is manufactured from sunflower husks and has a worldwide patent pending as a hydrocarbon absorbent. It is a 100% South African product.
   
SUNSORB™ is a premium, completely natural, environmentally friendly, biodegradable absorbent. A waste product of the sunflower oil industry that is re-engineered and turned into an oleophilic product - loves to grab and soak up oil - and is also hydrophobic - repels water. We now have a product that floats on water and absorbs oil, and which resulting in no damage to the environment in either its manufacturing or disposal.

SUNSORB™ has been lab tested and proven to be ideal for the absorption of hydrocarbons on both land and water.
SUNSORB™absorbents provide the ultimate cost effective and environmentally responsible solutions for hydrocarbon spill clean ups. 1Kg SUNSORB™ will absorb approximately 10Litres of oil.

PEATSORB 
PeatSorb Peat fibre absorbent is a very fine material suitable for most spills but is specially efficient on smooth surfaces such as roads and factory floors.
 

Peat Sorb is an environmental and user friendly hydrocarbon absorbent that is used in industry, hazmat spill clean up, remediation of contaminated soils, golf courses, and transportation systems around the world. Peat Sorb is a lightweight, non biodegradable product that absorbs or encapsulates hydrocarbons on contact rather than absorbing the oil through surface tension.

Cost Effective!
Peat Sorb users have reported a savings of 30 to 50 percent for the cost of cleaning up oil spills after using it for one year.

User Friendly!
Peat Sorb helps you to create a cleaner environment. Peat Sorb with absorbed oil passed the T.C.L.P. (Toxic Characteristic Leachate Procedure). Peat Sorb has an affinity for hydrocarbons of all types, including light and heavy oils, gasoline, diesel fuels, and even refined hydrocarbons like polyester resins and paint. Peat Sorb also suppresses 90 percent of gasoline vapors which eliminates the danger of explosion.

  • Peat Sorb™ is an instant fix. It picks up any hydrocarbon on contact, virtually instantly, and renders it harmless to the environment. The following is a list of its unique characteristics:
  • Peat Sorb™ is an environmentally friendly hydrocarbon absorbent product formulated from very specific naturally occurring vegetation.
  • Peat Sorb™ will pick up a full range of petroleum products from crude oil to gasoline and has been used to solidify and absorb resins, PCB’s, coal tars, fatty acids, and hydrocarbon based inks.
  • Peat Sorb™ is a modified, very specific, natural product that repels water (hydrophobic) but has the ability to absorb hydrocarbons on contact, lock them up and not release them back into the environment.
  • Peat Sorb™ is equally effective on land or water.
  • Peat Sorb™ is non-leaching. A hydrocarbon absorbed into Peat Sorb™ is retained until it is degraded naturally by the microbes contained in any bio-active soil.
  • Peat Sorb™, which has absorbed a number of different hydrocarbons, has been tested by independent laboratories and meets requirements for landfill by passing the Toxicity Characteristic Leachate Procedure, (T.C.L.P.), the Paint Filter Test and the Liquid Release Test.
  • Peat Sorb™ is an effective vapor suppressant.
  • Peat Sorb™ is non-abrasive and can be used around machinery without fear of damage to metal, plastic or rubber parts.
  • Peat Sorb™ is certified SEG Incinerable.
  • Peat Sorb™ products are used daily around the world in factories, ships, transportation facilities, ports, refineries, garages, fire departments, remediation projects, boats and golf courses.
  • Peat Sorb™ products are saving its users substantial sums of money while virtually eliminating their environmental liabilities and creating a safer and easier working environment for employees.

There are numerous forms of absorbent material available to absorb hydrocarbon and other liquid spills
Absorbents vary in costs, consistency of material, efficiency of use, source, sustainable renewability (or not) and method of disposal.

Some examples of natural absorbents are:
Peat absorbent
Sunsorb
Wood fibre absorbent
Pulped cellulose fibre
Crushed sunflower seeds
Straw
Hay
Sawdust
Not all of these absorbents are efficient, and not all of these are safe to use. e.g. sawdust or wood fibre may have been previously treated with chemicals to prevent rot or insect infestation and you might not want to inhale dust from this kind of product.
While it is preferable to use a natural absorbent from a renewable resource that is bio-degradable and safe to dispose of via land farming bio-remediation or hazardous waste site, still sometimes it is better to use a synthetic absorbent.
Choices of which absorbent to use are based on:
whether the hydrocarbon spill is indoors or outdoors
what method of disposal will be used e.g. you would not use an absorbent with a very low efficiency of absorbtion if the cost of disposal is very high. The savings on the cost of the absorbent is negated by the high costs of huge volumes for disposal.
can a dusty natural absorbent be used
do you need a dust free or static free absorbent because of sensitive electronic, laboratory or food preparation environments.
