The Synthetic Absorbent for Petroleum and Petroleum Products is designed for absorbing hydrocarbons such as oils, greases, diesel, gasoline, kerosene, lubricants and petroleum products.

Made from 100% hydrophobic polypropylene, it works through selective physical interaction with oils and petroleum products, without chemical reactions during absorption. It repels water, maintains buoyancy even when saturated and can be used on land or water.

Recommended applications

Direct application to concentrated spills of oil, fuels and petroleum products
Use on land or water, with water repellency and constant buoyancy
Support in workshops, gas stations, transport companies, industrial facilities and maintenance areas
Replacement for sawdust or natural peat in hydrocarbon operations
Response to slicks, puddles and concentrated leaks of petroleum products
