WHAT ARE SORBENTS?
Sorbents are spill tools that have been specially designed to collect spills of hazardous substances. The G-Sorb range includes pads, rolls, mini-booms, and pillows made from meltblown polypropylene, as well as granules of various kinds.
Sorbents fall into two main categories:
Polyvalent: Sorbents for various types of substances. In the G-Sorb range this category is represented by General Purpose sorbents (for all kinds of liquids) and Hi-vis sorbents (for dangerous acids and alkalis).
Monovalent: Sorbents for one kind of substance. In the G-Sorb range this category is represented by Oil & Fuel sorbents, designed to collect hydrocarbon-based liquids.
WHAT TO CONSIDER
- Tell the team at Gecko Cleantech exactly how you intend to use the sorbent. With the right information, our sales team can help you save time and money.
- Cheaper isn't always better. A quality product often lasts longer and collects more than cheaper sorbents.
- Separate sorbents for everyday use from those for incidents/accidents. The latter should be kept in a clearly marked spill kit so sorbents are always readily available in an emergency.
- Where there is a risk of acid spills (around battery-charging stations, for example), pads, pillows, or chemically inert granulates are indispensable since concrete based granulates, for example, react with acid to form corrosive gases.
- Spent sorbents must be handled in accordance with the regulations for the substance collected.
- Sorbent disposal must be in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.
