When you are dealing with an oil spill, you need to be sure that your oil spill kit has an effective oil absorbent, just as in a chemical spill, your spill cleanup kit includes a compatible chemical absorbent.
Polypropylene Absorbents
Polypropylene absorbents are some of the most versatile and effective chemical and oil spill absorbents. It is no surprise that these are one of the most popular spill kit components at PéTROZORB.
For chemical spills and oil spills, polypropylene absorbents are available in a range of forms including rolls, pads, and synthetic loose particulates as well as booms, socks, and pillows. The size and location of your chemical or oil spillage will determine which type of polypropylene is most appropriate.
Below, you will find a comprehensive list of chemicals and oils where a black dot indicates the compatibility of the polypropylene absorbents range available from PéTROZORB. If you require any advice about a particular type of oil spill or chemical spill, the team at PéTROZORB South Africa are more than happy to help.
