XtraSorb is a 100% cellulose oil and fuel absorbent for use on water
XtraSorb is a water-based oil and gasoline absorbent made entirely of cellulose. It is made from recycled waste cellulose components and is fully biodegradable. XtraSorb is a highly oleophilic (“oil-loving”) substance that quickly binds to all types of hydrocarbons. Even when wet, it can absorb up to 19 times its own weight in oil-based products!
The application methodology for XtraSorb suggests that adequate volumes of the product be applied to the spill’s surface to entirely cover it. The spill will be whisked away from the water fast, and the wasted XtraSorb may be collected by skimming or using nets.
Application of use
XtraSorb is intended for use on small-scale spills in harbours, docks, wharves, marinas, refuelling stations, beaches, bird sanctuaries, reefs, or mangrove regions – wherever an oil spill may occur. XtraSorb is available in a variety of forms, including socks, booms, pillows, and bilge ‘rats.’ When XtraSorb is applied over a spill surface, it absorbs trace water and eliminates sheen, unlike conventional absorbents.
XtraSorb is especially well-suited for eliminating hydrocarbons from storm water collecting systems, sump pits, and interceptor systems as a filtration medium.
Features and Advantages
- XtraSorb is suited for usage in fragile eco-systems because of its quick absorption on water and rapid wicking action.
- XtraSorb is ecologically safe and simple to apply, causing no threat to flora, animals, or aquatic life. Its strong buoyancy makes confinement and retrieval easier.
- High absorbency implies that very tiny amounts are required, making it extremely cost-effective.
- Produced from 100% cellulose, biodegradable, and non-abrasive recycled raw materials. XtraSorb may also be burned, producing 15,500 BTUs/kg with less than 5% ash.
- In most states and territories, EPA clearance is required for disposal to a solid waste landfill (ordinary rubbish).
