Waste Lock®
Oil Absorbents
The absorption and stabilization of oils and organic fluid wastes is complicated by the wide variety of viscosities, KB-Values and molecular weights found in these types of wastes. There really is no “One Size Fits All” oil absorbent product.
The chemical properties of a disparate range from gasoline/diesel fuel to a myriads of oils to chlorinated hydrocarbons each present unique challenges.
Also, the downstream demands – incineration versus landfill – affect the choice of oil absorbents to be used.
For this reason, M² Polymer Technologies offers several alternatives:
Waste Lock® OrganoLock N-65
- Proprietary Block Co-Polymer
- Highly effective at encapsulating high KB-Value organic solvents and low viscosity oils.
- High absorbency ratios with liquids such as kerosene, diesel fuel, benzene and chlorinated solvents.
- Wastes treated pass EPA 9095 (Paint Filter Test)
- Many wastes will pass TCLP
Free Swell Absorbency Tests are as follows:
- (Weight basis, gram-to-gram absorbency ratio)
- Diesel Fuel 9 – 11 X
- Gasoline 5 – 7 X
- Mineral Oil USP 5 – 8 X
- Kerosene 9 – 11 X
- Trichloroethylene (TCE) 6 – 8 X
- Benzene 9 – 11 X
Waste Lock® Organoclay BM-Qt-199
- Quat-Surface Modified Bentonite
- Can be used to remove oil from a water flow
- Available as powder or 30 mesh granular
Waste Lock® Total-Sorb
TOTAL-SORB is a universal granular material that absorbs large quantities of water, oil and organic wastes such as gasoline, diesel fuel and chlorinated hydrocarbons. Also effective on strong acids and alkaline wastes.
Product Attributes:
- Significantly more absorbent than clays and other mineral absorbents.
- Non-Biodegradable material (40 CFR 264.314 (e)(ii))
- When Used Properly, Wastes Will Pass Paint Filter Test (EPA 9095).
