Aqua Sorb Flyer

AQUA Sorb® is a solid, granular cross-linked sodium polyacrylate Advanced Superabsorbent Polymer that rapidly absorbs & retains large volumes of aqueous solutions, converting them into a semi -solid, gelled state. The absorptive properties of AQUA Sorb® are ideally suited for the absorption & solidification of industrial waste streams containing inks, heavy metals and other general contaminants. AQUA Sorb® is a remarkable, yet economical tool for spill management, containment, clean up and disposal. AQUA Sorb® : ??Is Non-Toxic, Non-Hazardous; does not produce heat or off-gasses. ??Meets and exceeds EPA, OSHA, & ANSI Guidelines for absorbent material performances ??Passes the Paint Filter Liquid Test (Method 9095) ??Non-Biodegradable polymer (Per 40 CFR 264.314 (e) (1) (ii)) ??Expands by less than 1% when hydrated ??SEG certified incinerable material with heat value of 5560 BTU/lbs. ??Strong ion exchange capability allows for heavy metals to be bound & waters to pass TCLP ??Absorbs over 200 times its weight in water ??Freeze-Thaw Tested - will not release liquids after freezing and subsequent heating to 160° F ??Produces over 5,000 BTU’s per pound when incinerated ??Solidifies most aqueous solutions in less than 2 minutes—does not require mixing. POSSIBLE USES FOR AQUA SORB: Autopsy Absorbents – stops/cleans up leakage of body fluids - autopsy, funeral homes, hospitals, etc. Baby and Adult Diapers - an estimated 2 billion pounds per year in the U.S. alone Bait and Gaming Gels - holds scent and soluble baits in traps - trap baits, etc. Body Cooling Gels for Apparel - bandanas, headbands, wrist bands - work, sports, etc. Body fluids absorption – eliminates odors, reduces possibility of airborne pathogens, vapor suppression, first responders, medical cleaning staff, school janitorial, etc. Cleaning Gels - holds cleaner on vertical services - rust removers, cleaning agents, etc. Fragrance Gels - reduces evaporation, acts to time release - deodorizers, etc. Fire Fighting Gel - keeps water on the fire surface - forest fires, fire breaks, structure coating, etc. Floral Arrangements - holds water to keep from spilling during deliveries, also allows for slow evaporation of water, keeping flowers hydrated for longer periods of time. Hazardous Waste Control – stabilization and solidification of commercial wastewater, decontamination water, spilled chemicals and pesticides – first responders, waste management personnel, etc. Heat Packs - for ease and control of heat pads - body heat packs, food, etc. Ice Packs - keeps water colder for longer periods - fish, flowers, food, etc. Kitty Litter Additive - holds it plus reduces odors. Medical Waste Absorbents – stabilizes and cleans up leakage of body fluids, reducing spread of germs; vapor suppression: blood, urine, vomit, etc. at hospitals, portable toilets, public transportation, school buses, scientific laboratories, etc. Oil/Water Separation - removes water from fuel tanks, filters - farm tractors, trucking, boating, etc. Pesticide Gels - makes liquids manageable and remains effective for a much long period of time - spider control in rafters, termites, etc. Sludgewater treatment - gels sludge water for stabilization or solid waste disposal - industry, water treatment, etc. Solidify Liquid Wastes - gel liquids for solid waste disposal - industry, bio-medical, etc. Soil hydration - blend into soil to increase water retention and slow the release of moisture in soil, reduces erosion — environmental, farming industries, etc. Spill Control - picks up any aqueous liquid spills quickly; vapor suppression, solidifies aqueous chemicals for safer transportation, reduces risks for secondary contamination, etc. – hazmat teams, lawn spray companies, manufacturing companies, transportation companies, etc. Typical Absorption Ratios AUNL g/g Free Swell in D.I.
