Frequently asked questions

Why is this binder better than conventional binders?

It supports both environmental protection and occupational safety. The material is 100% organic, contains no chemicals, and is safe for people, animals, and the environment. It is lightweight for cost-effective disposal and works significantly faster than many conventional binders.

Are the fibre products truly organic and natural?

Yes, they are 100% natural. No chemicals are used in production. The fibres are simply processed to the correct size and dried to ensure effective absorption.

What is the weight of the product?

A 50-litre bag weighs approximately 7.5 kg. This makes it lightweight and easy to handle, while still remaining stable in use.

How quickly does the fibre work?

The fibres begin absorbing within seconds, providing a clear advantage over many alternative binders.

How much do the products absorb?

A 50-litre bag can absorb approximately 33 litres of chemical liquids. The fibres absorb around four times their own weight, helping to reduce disposal costs.

What substances do the fibres absorb?

They absorb a wide range of chemical liquids, including oils, fuels, and other hazardous substances, but they do not absorb water.

On which surfaces can the fibres be used?

They can be used on almost any surface, including water, roads, and industrial floors.

Where can the fibre be used?

Suitable for all industrial sectors where chemical liquids are present, including petrol stations, workshops, production facilities, emergency services, and marine environments.

Can the fibre products burn?

They are not easily flammable and would only ignite under sustained, extremely high temperatures.

Do the fibres absorb water?

No, they do not absorb water. They selectively absorb chemical substances, allowing safe use on water surfaces such as oil spills.

How should the fibre be disposed of?

Disposal must follow local legal requirements. Typically, contaminated material is treated as hazardous waste and either incinerated or sent to landfill.

Is the binding agent dangerous to use?

No, it is 100% organic and safe for people, animals, and the environment when used as intended.

Does SORB®XT blow away in the wind?

No, it does not. The material settles quickly after application, reducing the risk of being carried away by the wind. Any loose fibres are 100% organic and safe for people and the environment.

Comparative testing against conventional binders shows similar behaviour under wind exposure.

Does SORB®XT work on all liquids?

No, it is not suitable for every liquid. However, it offers one of the widest absorption ranges available, covering hydrocarbons and many hazardous chemicals.

It is certified for Types I, II, and III-R applications. A full list of tested substances can be provided, and additional liquids can be tested if required.

Is SORB®XT more expensive than other absorbents?

No. While the initial cost may appear higher, the overall performance delivers better value. One 50-litre bag absorbs up to approximately 33–36 litres of liquid, reducing the need for multiple products.

Conventional binders often require significantly higher volumes to achieve similar results.

What makes SORB®XT more cost-effective?

Its lightweight design reduces handling effort and disposal costs. Conventional 20 kg absorbents increase waste volume and handling difficulty.

SORB®XT also performs effectively on wet surfaces, does not absorb water, and covers a wider range of substances, reducing the need for multiple products.

What additional advantages does SORB®XT offer?

It delivers rapid absorption within seconds, improving response time during spill incidents.

High surface grip improves safety and helps reduce the risk of secondary accidents.

A single product can replace multiple conventional binders, saving storage space and simplifying operations.
