PetroGuard® is a super absorbent polymer that works instantly and is designed to solidify liquids into non-leaching solids. This absorbent has the ability to absorb hydrocarbons and petroleum products and is known for its 4:1 absorption capacity. It has the ability to product a low-volumetric barrier that immobilizes oil on land or water.
The 1-Gallon Jug is best used to absorb oils from roadways and sealing ditches to prevent further penetration of hydrocarbons into soil. It is also useful for creating a dam around drains and sewers in case of a spill or during maintenance.
Key features:
- Absorbs hydrocarbons faster than competing polymers
- Higher absorption ratio by weight than others
- Encapsulates hydrocarbons – will not release or “leach”
- Permanently buoyant
- Cost effective
- Labor saving
- Will not dissolve in water
- Non-toxic
- Easily collected and disposed of by incineration or landfill
- Readily capable of being skimmed from the surface of water
- Flammable vapors are dramatically reduced or eliminated
