Food Industry Granular Sorbents

These granular sorbents are NSF registered J1, so they’re safe for use in your food processing plant. Spread them over spills to absorb liquids and prevent people from slipping. Not for use with hydrofluoric acid.

Sorbents for chemicals, oil, and water absorb a broad range of chemicals, coolant, and paint. Sorbents for oil soak up oil and repel water, so they're often used in wet areas.

Granular Sorbents for Flammable Liquids

Safely clean up fuel and other flammable liquids with these fire-retardant sorbents. Unlike clay and corn cob, these mineral-based sorbents trap vapors and reduce the risk that a spill will ignite.

Acid and Base Neutralizing Granular Sorbents

Neutralize and absorb corrosive liquids in a single step. These mineral-based sorbents spread over spills to quickly lock in and neutralize acids or bases.

Use sorbents for acids on spills such as battery or hydrochloric acid. Not for use with hydrofluoric acid.

Use sorbents for bases on spills such as sodium hydroxide or ammonia solutions.

The sorbent made of perlite will change color when acid or base neutralization is complete.
