Lightweight absorbent produced from recycled, chemically modified cellulosic fibers. Contains all the necessary ingredients (nitrogen, sulphur and phosphorous) to enhance biodegradation of hydrocarbons by indigenous bacteria. When activated by the addition of moisture, the indigenous bacteria are furnished with ideal growth conditions, within which they proliferate and rapidly utilize the available hydrocarbon as a food source. Powerful wicking action acts a physical emulsifier by actually extracting hydrocarbons from less absorptive material. Encapsulates the fine droplets making the hydrocarbon available to the bacteria as a food source. When applied correctly, it will completely absorb toxins preventing them from leaching into the soils or into underground aquifers. Non-carcinogenic, non-abrasive and will not harm machinery. Can be incinerated and will contribute 7,000 BTUs per pound with less than 3% ash. 1.5 cu. ft. bag is approximately 30 lbs. for ease of handling and storage. Meets all OSHA requirements and is biodegradable. Not WHMIS regulated.
