Biogranular is an Oil Absorbent Granule, an oil sorbent manufactured from high-quality, vegetable-based granular sorbents. The manufacturing process produces a product that becomes both oleophilic ( absorbing hydrocarbons ) and hydrophobic ( water-repelling ). Oil Absorbent Granules absorb hydrocarbons quickly on contact by their wicking action and encapsulates oil on contact. Absorbs oil but not water so that it can use on water or dry surfaces. That makes Oil Absorbent Granules ideal for hydrocarbon clean-up on open water and land applications. Oil Absorbent Granules is a lightweight, nonbiodegradable product that absorbs or encapsulates hydrocarbons on contact rather than absorbing the oil through surface tension.
Features
- Oil Absorbent Granules can Absorbs Up to 8-12 Times Its Weight, which is Cost-efficient absorption of liquids.
- Hydrophobic, Repels water to absorb only petroleum and other related fluids selectively.
- Floatation Oil Absorbent Granules can float on top of the water for at least 51 days.
- Organic, 100% natural, non-toxic and biodegradable absorbent
- Biodegradation, Enhances biodegrading of certain hydrocarbons into harmless byproducts.
- Oil Absorbent Granules are Economical, Generate much lower volumes of waste than competitive products.
- Oil Absorbent Granules are Easy To Use, with No specialized training or equipment; open and apply.
- Versatile, Applied on any surface type, land or water, absorbs the widest variety of liquids than traditional absorbents.
- Flammability, Does not ignite instantly when exposed to heat or flame; it is difficult to establish a smolder.
- Oil Absorbent Granules are Non-Leaching; hold onto the absorbed liquid less dripping mess in clean-up.
- Vapor Suppressive, Reduces flammable vapors by 90%.
- Quick Wicking Speed, Reducing downtime for clean-up.
- Low Abrasion, Contains no silica.
- Low Ash Content, Leaves Only 2% Ash Residue When Incinerated.
- Superior Retention, Liquids are held tightly to prevent the recurrence of the spill.
- Universal product tested on 160 pollutants ( all types of hydrocarbons, paints, herbicides, pesticides, acids, blood, animals greases )
