MACRO SORB® Oil-Absorbing Polymer Technical Profile
This specialized copolymer rapidly absorbs flammable hydrocarbons including gasoline, kerosene, and diverse oils through its advanced formulation, delivering reliable containment and cleanup solutions.
Key advantages comprise: (1) Exceptional hydrocarbon absorption capacity; (2) Rapid uptake kinetics for immediate spill response; (3) Multi-cycle reusability ensuring cost efficiency; (4) Operational stability across broad temperature ranges; (5) Superior oil-water separation achieving high-purity recovery. These properties establish it as an essential solution for industrial waste management, environmental remediation, and emergency response scenarios requiring sustainable hydrocarbon control.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Definition of oil-absorbing polymer?
A hydrophobic material engineered to selectively absorb and retain petroleum-based liquids while repelling water, primarily deployed for spill cleanup, filtration systems, and ecological restoration.
Q2: Operational mechanism?
The polymer selectively bonds with oil molecules to form stable gel matrices, effectively separating hydrocarbons from aquatic environments without water absorption.
Q3: Environmental safety compliance?
This non-toxic polymer provides ecologically safe spill remediation without introducing secondary contamination hazards to treated ecosystems.
