OPEC realised that conventional adsorbents did not provideadequate prolonged use and something more durable and with betteradsorption was needed. RP18 is a specially designed, stitch bonded,polypropylene material that is extremely strong with extraordinaryadsorption characteristics.The superior characteristics of RP18 to other adsorbents were testedand documented by a representative of Lloyd’s Register in 1988.The reusability of RP18 greatly reduces volumes of procurement andhazardous waste disposal costs.SPECIAL APPLICATIONSAs well as conventional applications such as a general adsorbent foroil spill kits the RP18 fabric can be used for a wide range of specialapplications:• Cleaning soiled beaches after a tanker spill. • Drip trays on railway tracks. • Filters in streams to separate the oil in water. • Filters for domestic cooker hoods. • Filters to deal with oil mist in factories. • Filters for final discharge in oil/water separators. • Filters for removal of oil and/or solvents contamination of groundwater. oil pollution environmental control ltdRP18 ADSORBENT PRODUCT RANGEProduct Width LengthName (cm) (m)OP46 46 46UP46 46 46OP92 92 46UP92 92 46OP92L 92 92UP92L 92 92Additional sorbent products include:• HW33 - Dry hand wipe• Sorbent Booms - Large and Small(Bespoke sizes available.)HEAD OFFICE:Opec Ltd1 Nab LaneBatleyWest YorkshireWF17 9NGUKT: +44(0)1924 442701F: +44(0)1924 471925E: info@opec.co.ukW: www.opec.co.ukTRUST OPEC TO MOP UP THE MESS
