Types of sorbents

Types of sorbents

For removing almost any kind of spill or leak For using on land or water. Made of synthetic or natural sorbent fibres.

Expandi produces four types of sorbents. The use of each type depends on the nature of the spilled liquid.

Universal – Maintenance sorbents are made of 100% melt blown polypropylene hydrophilic fibres. They absorb spills of oil, gasoline, diesel, hydraulic fluids water, glycols and most chemicals.

Universal – Chemicals sorbents are an evolution of the Universal-Maintenance sorbents due to their enhanced chemical resistance. They are ideal for controlling hazardous and aggressive fluids.

Oil-Only – Synthetic fibre sorbents are made of 100% melt blown polypropylene hydrophobic fibres. They absorb spills of oil, gasoline, diesel and hydraulic fluids while repelling water-based liquids. They are the ideal solution for outdoor operation and for collection of oil spills on water. They are the right choice for long term deployments and aggressive fluids.

Oil-Only – Natural fibre sorbents are made of biodegradable and naturally renewable fibres. They are water repelling and oil absorbing products. They are a good solution for outdoor operation and for collection of oil spills on water. They are more cost-effective than the synthetic version and their absorbency is even better. They are not recommended for long term deployments.
