• Is landfill friendly, contaminants adsorbed by clay products may not be accepted in some states
• Quick and easy clean ups
• Rapidly absorbs hydrocarbons on land and water
• Will quickly contain spills and leaks of all sizes
• Is non-toxic, 100% organic and renewable
• Encapsulates wastes and prevents the spread of hazardous liquids
• Will solidify liquid wastes for safe transport of hazardous material
• Aids in the bio-remediation process of hydrocarbons
• Highly effective in the suppression of volatile organic compounds (VOC’s)

Peat Sorb is a modified peat product with a moisture content of 7% – 10%. When dried to this level it repels water and absorbs oil on contact. It is equally effective on land and water. Made of a humic mass that is already biodegraded; it will not break down further if disposed of in a landfill site. Lightweight for easy handling and transportation. It is non-abrasive. It can be used around machinery without fear of damage to metal, plastic or rubber parts. Peat Sorb pads and rolls retain more oil than the leading polypropylene.

Peat Sorb will pick up a full range of petroleum products from crude oil to gasoline and has been used to solidify and absorb resins, PCB’s, coal tars, fatty acids and hydrocarbon based inks. Pound for pound Peat Sorb™ is about eight times as effective as clay based “kitty litter” type sorbents. This product will not attract insects or rodents. It has been tested in independent laboratories and meets the requirement of the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure, the Paint Filter Test and the Liquid Release Test. It is an effective vapor suppressant. Peat Sorb products provide a comprehensive approach to meeting long standing environmental responsibilities and new legal requirements.
