The sorbent market for cleaning up industrial oil spills on solid surfaces, such as spills on shop floors, service garages, around machines and on roadways is very fragmented with hundreds of different applications and many products. The spills range from oil spills, fuels and hydraulic fluid spills to acids and bases to paints and solvents.
A substantial portion of this market is the simple application of an absorbent granular product or spill pad to oil spills in garages, industrial / manufacturing environments and roadways. This market has used a standard clay-based sorbents for years, commonly known as “speedy dry” oil sorbent. However, in actual practice, these products are neither speedy nor very absorbent and most contain silica dust which is a known carcinogen.
OilMaster - Eco-Friendly Oil Absorbent Products are available in Granual Oil Absorbent format or Oil Absorbent Pads and Sheets. These products, being highly absorbent, non-carcinogenic, lighter weight and easier to use are quickly finding their way into the market as an economical and accepted substitute for these clay-based sorbents. OilMaster oil asorbents are also a green, environmentally friendly products and seven times more absorbent than clay.
Since OilMaster oil absorbent granular and oil absorbent pad products are manufactured from agricultural waste fibers and are renewable products, they have environmental advantages over other non-renewable oil sorbent products, particularly clay-based oil absorbents and are a long awaited technological improvement in the industrial absorbent industry.
