Frequently Asked Questions
What are oil absorbent pellets used for?
Oil absorbent pellets are used to contain and clean up oil and fuel spills on hard surfaces, in bilges, and on water. They are ideal for marine and industrial environments where quick spill response is needed.
How much oil can the pellets absorb?
These pellets can absorb up to 3.5 times their own weight in oil, providing efficient and economical spill cleanup. The exact amount depends on the viscosity of the liquid.
Do the pellets sink in water?
No, the pellets are buoyant and will float on water, making them ideal for use in bilges, booms, or to clean up oil on the water surface. They remain afloat even after absorbing oil.
How should used pellets be disposed of?
Used pellets can be collected with a net or skimmer and disposed of according to local regulations for oily waste. They can be incinerated in approved facilities or placed in designated waste containers.
