PetroGuard Chemical Spill Absorbent

PetroGuard® chemical spill absorbent is quick!

Known for its speed, quality, efficiency, and absorption capacity of over 4:1, PetroGuard makes chemical spill clean up of water reactive chemicals faster, safer and more cost effective.

With PetroGuard Chemical Spill Absorbent, common water reactive chemicals, hazardous hydrocarbons and silicone-based chemicals are quickly and efficiently:

• Absorbed
• Encapsulated (will not release under pressure)
• Solidified
• Immobilized
• Stabilized

Because PetroGuard Chemical Spill Absorbent acts so quickly, hydrolyzing is minimized/eliminated, reducing the risk of fire, explosion, and inhalation of toxic fumes.

Overall PetroGuard Chemical Spill Absorbent efficiently reduces operational costs because:

• It rapidly absorbs. Other polymers take up to 20 minutes to effectively absorb.
• As a loose granular you use only what you need reducing waste and disposal costs
• Flammable or toxic vapor production is reduced or eliminated
• The absorbed chemical becomes impervious to water
• Clean-up is safer, requires less manpower and minimizes production downtime
• Exposure time to hazardous chemical is significantly reduced
• It has a low volumetric increase of <=15% and rapidly absorbs. Other polymers swell <=27%.
• It is non-leaching and non-exothermic
• It is easily disposed of by incineration or landfill

Example of organics absorbed and immobilized by PetroGuard Chemical Spill Absorbent include:

• Chlorosilanes
• Triclorosilane
• Titanium tetrachloride
• Butyltrichlorosilane
• Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons
• Ethyl acetate
• Trichloroethylene
• Styrene
• Naphtha

Suggested Methods of Application

Using a scoop or shovel, manually apply PetroGuard Chemical Spill Absorbent to the surface of the liquid chemical.  Use an industrial blower for larger standing spills.
