Oil and fuel absorbent sweep 30m x 43cm

QTY

Oil absorbent sweeps are designed to reclaim the final sheen or slick from oil and fuel spills on rivers, ponds, dams and other water bodies.

Dimensions 3000 × 43 cm

This oil absorbent sweep is used to reclaim the final sheen or slick from oil and fuel spills on rivers, ponds, dams and other water bodies. With 30 metres of high capacity absorbent fabric, this oil absorbent sweep is ideal for a quick response clean up.

 

Stitched webbing is fixed to one edge of the sweep, reinforcing the fabric and allowing a sweeping action to occur across a thin oil sheen without pulling the fabric apart.

 

Oil and fuel absorbents are made from meltblown polypropylene and are colour-coded white for easy identification.  These absorbents are able to absorb up to 20 times their own weight in oil and have a fast-wicking action to clean up spills quickly. Oil and fuel absorbents are hydrophobic, which means they repel water. This makes them ideal for cleaning up oil and fuel spills in wet environments, including ponds, sumps, drains, lakes, rivers, creeks or in the rain.

 

Actual absorbent capacity will vary depending on liquid viscosity, specific gravity and temperature.

 

  • Excellent water repellent characteristics (hydrophobic).
  • Non allergenic, non hazardous with no dust.
  • Fast absorption for improved safety and productivity.
  • Can be squeezed and re-used.
  • Simple, lightweight and easy to use without the need for specialised PPE.

  • Absorbent capacity will vary depending on liquid viscosity, specific gravity and temperature.
  • Maintenance polypropylene is compatible with, and absorbs most acids and bases.
  • The suitability with a specific chemical should be confirmed by referencing the SDS, a compatibility chart or sample testing. We can provide samples as required.
  • Absorbents retain the characteristics of the absorbed liquid. Appropriate PPE should be worn and disposal of used absorbents should be in accordance with local regulations.
