OCLANSORB

WHAT IS OCLANSORB?

• A nontoxic, nonabrasive organic blonde sphagnum peat moss harvested from the bogs of Newfoundland.
• A lightweight, natural hydrocarbon absorbent: more cost effective, more efficient absorbency power, and easier to use than any other products.
• OCLANSORB is the component used in all socks, booms & kits.

WHAT DOES OCLANSORB DO?

Absorbs hydrocarbons by encapsulating them on contact. Requires less product for storage and disposal. 1 lb. of OCLANSORB will absorb approximately 1 gallon of oil. Absorbs hydrocarbons on contact and resists taking on water.

• Will reduce up to 90% of combustible vapors upon application due to its high vapor suppression capacity.
• Removes ALL free oil from spill sites upon extraction.
• Absorbs hydrocarbons on land, on hard surfaces i.e., asphalt, concrete, motor pool parking lots, and on water.

HOW DOES OCLANSORB WORK?

• Absorbs hydrocarbons quickly with its capillary action and porous structure.
• Encapsulates hydrocarbons, including PCB's - on contact - taking in the hydrocarbon, rather than allowing the hydrocarbon to attach to the outer surface of the product.
• Has a 5% moisture level which aids in its high absorbency rate. OCLANSORB goes through a patented process.
• Easy to apply, easy to clean up.
• Leaves behind no messy residue after clean up.

WHAT ARE OCLANSORB'S ADVANTAGES?

• Safe for the environment nontoxic, and biodegradable.
• Passes the North American Leachate Standards. Will not release captured hydrocarbons in the environment.
• Reduces man-hours required for cleanup.
• Absorbs all oil based products including PCB's and oil based paint.
• Requires less product for for spill cleanup which cuts cost.
• Less product used means less volume hauled and disposed of in the landfill. SAVES VALUABLE LANDFILL SPACE.
• Can be incinerated. On its own will contribute 7,200 BTU's per pound during incineration (excluding POL products.) And leaves behind only 0.42% ash residual.
• Recycling and biodegradability are major environmental concerns. OCLANSORB is the answer to these concerns.
