Nontoxic absorbent encapsulates hazardous spills for removal
Nonflammable Spill King universal absorbent picks up and holds vegetable-, mineral- or petroleum-based spills as well as semi-liquids. Won’t harm surfaces such as cement, asphalt, tile or carpet. Also prevents leaching to safeguard the environment. Meets or exceeds all OSHA and EPA requirement for health and safety. Contains no crystalline silica (commonly found in “kitty litter”) that qualifies as a carcinogen. Also has no ingredients linked to causing “silicosis,” a lung disease. Less than 1 lb. of absorbent can absorb 1 qt. of motor oil, while leaving little or no residue. In contrast, clay, earth and sand products are said to require 15 lbs. of material to absorb the same amount of liquid, while leaving a slippery residue that can cause safety hazards. Comes in 1.5-cu.-ft. bags that weigh from 10 to 13 lbs. for lightweight handling. Atlantic Smart Technogies, Spill King div., Jupiter, Fla.
