Product Information
Full details
The Green Boom Oil-Only Loose Sorbent is an essential tool for industrial maintenance teams, workshops, and environmental safety officers who need a rapid, efficient way to manage oil-based spills. Built for high performance, these cellulose-based granules offer superior wicking capabilities and coagulate upon contact with hydrocarbons to simplify the cleanup process; however, users should note that this product is specifically designed for oil-only applications and will not effectively absorb water-based spills.

FAQs
Can I use this for chemical spills?
This sorbent is designed for oil-only spills. It should not be used on aggressive chemicals or water-based liquids.
Is the material biodegradable?
Yes, the base material is made of natural cellulose, though the final disposal method depends on the liquid absorbed.
Does it absorb water?
No, this product is hydrophobic and is designed to repel water while absorbing oil.
How should I dispose of used sorbent?
Dispose of it in accordance with local regulations for oily waste, as the sorbent will take on the characteristics of the spilled oil.
Is the 4.5kg bag resealable?
Yes, standard industrial storage practices should be followed to keep the remaining product dry and uncontaminated.
Troubleshooting
Sorbent is not absorbing the liquid.
Verify that the spill is oil-based; if it is water-based or contains significant surfactants, the material will not work.
Spill continues to spread after application.
Ensure you are creating a containment perimeter around the outside of the spill before filling the center.
Cleanup is leaving behind residue.
Use a stiff-bristled broom to ensure all coagulated material is lifted from surface pores.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, keep the bags sealed in a dry environment to prevent premature moisture exposure. When applying, use an appropriate amount of personal protective equipment, including gloves and safety glasses. Compatibility is limited to oils, fuels, and non-aqueous petroleum fluids. For disposal, follow all local and federal regulations regarding the handling of oil-contaminated cellulose, as the material will retain the chemical properties of the absorbed substance.
