Disposal
Used sorbents may be disposed of by landfill or incineration, in accordance with local and national regulations, taking into account the classification of the liquid absorbed.
Tested in accordance with
BS 7959-1:2004 (Sorbency)
Sorbent materials are generally available in two basic types. There are hydrophobic grades (so-called oil sorbents) that pick up oils and other organic liquids but repel water and most aqueous solutions. Hydrophilic grades, on the other hand, pick up both oils and organic liquid and most aqueous solutions of chemicals.
The absorbency (litres of liquid absorbed per kg) is greatly influenced by the liquid viscosity and drainage time. We quote minimum absorbencies based on laboratory tests carried out using SAE10W40 motor oil in line with the British Standard Test Method BS7959-1:2004 (30 second drainage time, at 20C) and maximum absorbencies with no drainage.
Classification of waste
We would always recommend that you check the latest details on the Government’s website to ensure you control and handle waste correctly.
Training
If you are unsure of how to use absorbents, we have high quality 17 minute Spill Response and Pollution Prevention Training Video available from Spills Kits Direct SKU: 504/04001
