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.
Pillows are ideal for land use over a large area such as shop and work areas, storage facilities, first responder trucks, military installations, where reactive or other hazardous chemicals are used in plant production or storage areas. They also work for intermediate spills such as oil-water separators, manholes, and roadway spill cleanups.
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
