What is Naturesorb?
Naturesorb is a heat-treated sphagnum peat moss that provides a uniquely effective way to protect the environment from hydrocarbon and chemical spills. The material is highly absorbent and rapidly mops up leaked oils and other contaminants on contact. It differs from conventional cleaning materials because it fully absorbs hydrocarbon spills into its cell voids so that the pollutant is totally encapsulated within the structure of the moss. Correctly applied to an oil spill on land or water Naturesorb cleans up 100%.
Peat moss’s environmental benefit as a hydrocarbon absorbent holds great potential for changing the way the world deals with hazardous waste and spills. Naturesorb can greatly reduce the risk of damage to the environment resulting from oil spills in water as well as on land.
Once contained within the peat moss, the oil contaminant biodegrades and will not be released from the moss, even under considerable pressure. This means that used Naturesorb can be safely disposed of in a landfill. The high calorific value of Naturesorb filled with hydrocarbon waste makes is an excellent fuel for energy recycling through incineration.
Naturesorb is:
- Non-abrasive
- Easy-to-use, no waste
- Non-toxic, chemically inert
- Wide range of applications
- Fast-acting
- Cost-effective
- Proven performance
- Easy to dispose of
Nature’s Answer to Cost-Effective Spill Control on Land and Water
Naturesorb is a highly cost-effective clean-up medium because it is easy and safe to use, fast-acting and easy to dispose of - taking up to 20 times less landfill volume compared to standard materials.
Naturesorb is ideal for use on a wide range of hydrocarbon derivatives, chemicals and solvents (see right). It is a lab-tested and field-proven product capable of absorbing six times its own weight. It can absorb, on contact, several families of products with no risk of chemical interactions. Naturesorb will outperform any other absorbent on water because it can float for weeks, absorbing hydrocarbons and remaining hydrophobic.
Naturesorb is one of today’s preferred absorbents for spill cleanups and remediation projects by professionals throughout the world.
