What kind of problem do you have?
- Does fuel sometimes spill onto the ground from overfilling your equipment?
- Is there contaminated soil around your fuel tanks?
- Is there a place where you store your used oil or dump used oil on the farm
or your construction site?
- Is it possible that some of this contamination during heavy rains or spring run
off ends up in creeks, dugouts or even in the source of your drinking water?
- Do you have a way to clean up chemical spills?
- Would you like to pick up hydraulic oil in the field from line breaks?
|
|
When your work or farm site has
any one of the above contamination problems this can affect the health of
your family, employees, livestock, crop growth and even the sale of your
property.

Sphag Sorb
- all-natural product manufactured from sphagnum peat moss originating from the
bogs of Canada
- NO CHEMICALS or other ADDITIVES
- lab-tested, field proven industrial absorbent
- outperforms all other types of absorbent materials
- effective clean-up and disposal of oil, gasoline, fuel, solvents and nearly every
other organic chemical
- 1 lb. absorbs approximately 1 U.S. gallon (4 litres) of oil
- Reduces up to 90% of combustible vapours upon application due to its high vapour
suppression capacity
|
The solution to industry's
toughest clean-up problems
Produced from a Renewable
Natural Resource -
Originating from the bogs of Canada |
|
Material Safety Data Sheets |
|
Features
-
Eliminates many hours of conventional clean-up for industry due to remarkable
wicking action and simple extraction requirements
-
Environmental organic absorbent
-
With powerful wicking action, encapsulates hydrocarbons including PCBs and
most organic chemicals on contact. It's quick because of the naturally occurring
capillary and porous structure
-
Works on land or water - on hard surfaces (asphalt, concrete, etc.), in drums,
and more
-
Easy to use - no high tech application - does not require trained technicians or
specialized equipment
-
Safe
-
Lightweight
-
Biodegradable
-
More absorbent
-
Non-toxic
-
Non-leaching
-
Vapour suppressive
-
Reduces flammable vapours by 90%
-
Economical and efficient
-
Reduces storage expense and is lightweight for easy handling and lower
transportation costs
-
Non-abrasive - non-harmful to machinery and equipment
-
Leaves behind no messy residue after extraction, with easy application to
mechanical and manual clean-ups
-
It is oleophillic (absorbs oil quickly) and hydrophobic (resists taking on
water), so it is ideal for both industrial as well as specialized uses
-
High BTU value for incineration and an ash residue of less than 5 percent
-
Versatile - cleans up 80 organic chemicals besides oil. This includes
motor oils, gasoline, diesel fuels, most solvents, acids, and oil based paints.
-
Can serve as fill-in around over-packed drums, eliminating serious leaks or
environmental damage
-
Meets EPA standards for disposal in landfills and has passed the Toxicity
Characteristics Leaching Procedure (TCLP) Test with oil and is compatible with land
filling when regulations permit
-
Passes the Abalone Larval Development Short-Term Toxicity Test for Oil Spill
Cleanup Agents (California) Protocol CSWRCB 1990.
Comparison to Other Absorbents
Outperforms:
- Competing peat
- Cellulose - course or fine
- Polymer
- Alumina Silicate
- Polypropylene
- Corn
- Diatomaceous Earth
- Clay
For example: compared to clay Sphag Sorb is:
- 10 times more absorbent
- lightweight
- contains no silica so it is safe and non-toxic
- non-leaching
- more suited for land filling and incineration
