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 packets are best used for small, incidental leaks or spills, such as removing oil sheens from sumps or drip pans.
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
