Particulate
|
| Rubberizer®
Particulate is a mixture of hydrocarbon
polymers plus additives resulting in a grainy material used
primarily for cleanup operations where sweeping and shoveling
are involved. It can also be used for clarification of
various emulsions, or solidification and removal of various
petroleum-based slicks from the surface of water which is in a
controlled state. |
 |
This product, (and the
booms & pillows)
in which it is the filler, exhibit characteristics that include:
- light weight enabling rapid deployment and retrieval
(apparent specific gravity approximately = 0.4)
- rapid sorption and solidification (measured in minutes),
hydrophobic (no affinity for water)
- permanently buoyant (both before and after sorption)
- will not release solidified liquids under pressure
- resistant to leaching upon aqueous contact
- high sorbed liquid to sorbent ratios (nominally 5 parts
liquid to 1 part sorbent)
- minimal incineration residue (less than .1%)
- little volume increase of sorbed liquids (15% in
laboratory tests, nominally 25% in field applications)
One pound of this product will solidify into a rubber-like
material up to 2/3 gallon of jet fuel diesel, gasoline,
transformer oil, hydraulic oils, light crude and many other
liquids.
This product is supplied in:
- 6 gallon plastic pails (15 lbs. particulate per pail)
- 17" cubic boxes (50 lbs particulate per box)
- 55 gallon plastic drums (125 lbs particulate per drum).

| Booms
Rubberizer®
Booms
are made with Rubberizer®
Particulate as a filler and a 100%
polypropylene tubular fabric encasement. Ribbon connectors
are also provided. These booms are multifunctional. They can be
used for mitigation (containment) on water while sorbing the
spill, and once fully loaded continue to function as containment
barriers remaining significantly above water level. |
 |
|
|
 |
They are soft and conform well to textured
surfaces enabling them to act as containment barriers on
airport runways or vehicle roadways. They can be used
for bulk cleanup operations also. |
|
|
|
Once sorbed liquids are solidified
(usually within 20 minutes) they are retrievable
without loss of their contents caused by
handling and the consequent dripping associated
with many other products. This product is
supplied in various lengths, from one inch in
diameter up to five inches in diameter.
Five inch diameter booms can sorb and solidify
up to one gallon per lineal foot. |
