Many facilities keep spill kits, absorbent pads and granular absorbents on hand to contain and pick up common or accidental spills.
Just introduced at www.SupplyLineDirect.com is an improved oil absorbent that not only picks up oil and fuel quickly, but helps break down petroleum to lessen or eliminate waste hazards after the spill is picked up. Oil Sponge AB PLUS is now available in single bags or pallet quantities as part of a product line of more than 350 absorbents and spill response items at Supply Line Direct.
Oil Sponge AB and Oil Sponge AB PLUS are both cellulose-based loose absorbents that pick up liquids quickly. The AB PLUS version of Oil Sponge contains microbial cultures that break down petroleum and produce carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. In an independent spill product review by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Oil Sponge received a “best performance” commentary in tests comparing other oil-absorbing and universal spill response products.
Oil absorbent converts petroleum into water and carbon dioxide
Loose oil absorbents and universal absorbents—also called granular absorbents—are important products as part of a spill response arsenal. Loose absorbents are well-suited for responding to both daily facility maintenance needs and accidental spills. Other loose absorbents in the Supply Line Direct spill response line include additional cellulose products such as Dri-Zorb®, Absorbent W, Absorbent GP and Spill-Sorb™.
One of the newest cellulose products on the market, and available from Supply Line Direct, is Nature’s Absorbent. Nature’s Absorbent is a general-purpose absorbent with odor-controlling properties. It is an officially licensed NASCAR® product.
Spill King™ and Magic Sorb™ are mineral-based absorbents for both oil- and water-based spills. Magic Sorb provides a slip-resistant residue after pickup that helps prevent slips and falls that oily residues can cause. For acid spills, Acid-Neutralizing Absorbent from SpillTech® provides a visible color change to signify complete neutralization of acids as it absorbs and solidifies liquids.
Products from SupplyLineDirect.com include a wide range of oil absorbent pads, booms, socks and pillows. Universal and HazMat products are also in the full range of product configurations and in kit combinations.
The Supply Line Direct online catalog features all merchandise in six product categories: spill response, secondary containment, safety equipment, safety signs, maintenance, and storage and organization. A technical information feature of the Web site contains a library of helpful articles, glossaries and guides that cover products and topics related to Supply Line Direct product lines.
