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.
