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.
Blankets are perfect anywhere conveniently booms are used – marinas, harbors, insubstantial clarifier and holding ponds, streams, lakes, inland water areas and bays, in conjunction with skimmers and vacuum trucks.
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
