It must also be classified as a non-biodegradable absorbent where it cannot degrade and release the liquid it originally retained. The saturation level for Exsorbet is one pound of product per one gallon of used motor oil to pass the Paint Filter Liquids Test Method 9095. This ratio will differ with the viscosity of the oil absorbed. The lower viscosity oil will need more product and a thicker liquid will need less product. The initial expense is comparable to current sorbents, including clay.
Cleanups are faster and easier than before.
No heavy bags to carry around with warnings of health hazards on the side. Disposal cost is where Exsorbet separates itself from all other products. For example, in our sample illustrations provided, a 55 gallon oil spill would result in 5 - 55 gallon drums of used clay to clean up that spill. It would take 1.2 - 55 gallon drum to dispose of the used Exsorbet for the same spill.
