ABSORBENTS & EMERGENCY SPILL KITS

NATURAL FIBER ABSORBENTS

Compare: Natural Fiber (Cellulose) vs. Polypropylene

• Liquids are absorbed into the fibers (absorption) of cellulose. Liquids can only adhere (adsorption) to the exterior surface of clay & poly.

• Absorbed liquids are retained and don't leach out of cellulose. Because polypropylene is made from plastic it is unable to absorb liquids. It works instead on the principle of adsorption. This principle can be demonstrated easily by taking a plastic pen and dipping it into a cup of oil. When the pen is pulled out, a certain amount of oil will cling to the surface. The oil will then drip (leach) off the pen because it was unable to get inside the fibers.
