A powerful wicking action safely encapsulates oil and other organic chemicals.

The key to SPHAG SORB’S effectiveness is the natural capillary and porous structure of the activated peat. These properties provide a powerful wicking action, absorbing hydrocarbons, PCB’s and solvents quickly, allowing it to actually encapsulate these liquids on contact. SPHAG SORB securely takes in the oil, chemical or solvent, rather than merely allowing it to temporarily attach to the surface of the absorbent like many competitive products.

SPHAG SORB is super absorbent, and tests show it has the highest absorption by weight, when compared to competitive absorbents, reducing disposal costs significantly.

Since SPHAG SORB is, oleophilic (absorbs oil quickly) and hydrophobic (resists taking on water) it is ideal for a wide range of industrial and specialized uses. It can absorb on land, on hard surfaces such as asphalt or concrete, in drums or tanks and on water. (It even removes the oil sheen)
