OLEOPHILIC SPONGE TO ABSORB HYDROCARBONS AND THEIR DERIVATES

In case of oil-polluted water (in the bilge, in the engine room, etc.), this sponge rapidly absorbs the oil without soaking with water. This prevents dumping the bilge content into the sea and consequently reduces the quantity of waste produced when using traditional cloths and/ore disposable absorbing cloths. To be used during routine operations when oil leaks into the water are frequent. With this innovative product both pleasure boaters and professional sailors will recover the smallest leak and will contribute to water and environment protection. This sponge absorbs 30 times its weight of hydrocarbon without absorbing water.Made of a patented type of highly hydrophobic polyurethane foam, this sponge can be used over and over up to 200 times.-
