Water-reactive chemicals react violently with water, releasing heat and, in some cases, explosive by-products. Of chief concern are the alkali metals. Alkali metals react vigorously with water to form the hydroxide and gaseous hydrogen. The alkali metal-water reaction is exothermic. The heat generated can ignite the hydrogen gas. The rate of reaction and the hazard […]
Emergency spill response to reactive or other hazardous and explosive liquid spills creates a situation that must be responded to quickly and easily. PetroGuard solidifying hyper-immobilizing absorbent is the ideal product to use with vapor suppressing foam products. Most water based foams will initiate a cloud of acid vapor when applied to reactive chemicals. This […]
When responding to hazardous chemical and oil spills, using conventional absorbents just doesn’t do the trick. PetroGuard on the other hand will lock up the spill, prevent further migration, drastically reduce or eliminate vapor production and allow you to pick up the chemical or oil easily and quickly as solid. This holds true for a […]
