Pour over contained spills to absorb and clean up.

Clay—Clay sorbents reduce slipping and won't break down, cake, or mat under heavy traffic. They are low-dust and nonflammable.

Vermiculite—Vermiculite sorbents are lightweight and can also be used as insulation, filling, chemical packaging, or packing material for fragile items. They resist heat and fire.

20 lb. Container Net Weight—Sorbent in the 20-lb. pail has smaller granules than the sorbent in the bag, offering higher absorbency per pound.

Vermiculite Grade—Grade #3 is similar in size to a grain of rice. Grade #4 is similar to a grain of sand.

These sorbents quickly absorb more liquids than other granular sorbents. Pour them over chemical, oil, and water spills and then sweep them away for easy cleanups. You can use them on uneven surfaces and in cracks and crevices where pad or roll sorbents wouldn't fit, such as on roads and parking lots.

Granules

Paper—Made of recycled paper fibers, paper sorbents are an economical alternative to corn-cob sorbents. They should not be used with aggressive liquids, such as hydrochloric acid.
