Safer, cleaner working conditions
-
Hydro Sorb™ is an effective product in the suppression of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Directions for loose product on land:
-
Spread the Hydro Sorb™ upwind on the spill until all the oil is absorbed.
-
Pour onto the spill from a height of six inches (15cm) to avoid dispersion of absorbent.
-
Sweep up the oil-saturated Hydro Sorb™ using a stiff broom, and place in a suitable container.
On water:
-
Spread manually or mechanically from upwind side of spill. Use screened forks, pool skimmers, rakes, skimmer shovels or suction devices to remove oil-saturated Hydro Sorb™.
-
On flowing water; spread Hydro Sorb™ upstream of a boom to absorb trapped oil.
