• 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).
