Waste Lock®
Oil Absorbents
The absorption and stabilization of oils and organic fluid wastes is complicated by the wide variety of viscosities, KB-Values and molecular weights found in these types of wastes. There really is no “One Size Fits All” absorbent product.
The chemical properties of a disparate range from gasoline/diesel fuel to a myriads of oils to chlorinated hydrocarbons each present unique challenges.
Also, the downstream demands – incineration versus landfill – affect the choice of absorbent to be used.
For this reason, M² Polymer Technologies offers several alternatives:
Waste Lock® OrganoLock N-65
- Proprietary Block Co-Polymer
- Highly effective at encapsulating high KB-Value organic solvents and low viscosity oils.
- High absorbency ratios with liquids such as kerosene, diesel fuel, benzene and chlorinated solvents.
- Wastes treated pass EPA 9095 (Paint Filter Test)
- Many wastes will pass TCLP
Free Swell Absorbency Tests are as follows:
- (Weight basis, gram-to-gram absorbency ratio)
- Diesel Fuel 9 – 11 X
- Gasoline 5 – 7 X
- Mineral Oil USP 5 – 8 X
- Kerosene 9 – 11 X
- Trichloroethylene (TCE) 6 – 8 X
- Benzene 9 – 11 X
Waste Lock® Organoclay BM-Qt-199
- Quat-Surface Modified Bentonite
- Can be used to remove oil from a water flow
- Available as powder or 30 mesh granular
Waste Lock® Organoclay TA-11
- Surface Modified Bentonite (w/ non-Quat Treatment)
- Can be used to remove oil from a water flow
- Available as powder or 30 mesh granular
Waste Lock® M-107 Oil Absorbent
- Proprietary Polymer/Mineral Blend
- Wider range of effectiveness
Waste Lock® M-107 Product Attributes:
- Significantly more absorbent than clays and other mineral absorbents.
- Non-Biodegradable Polymer (40 CFR 264.314 (e)(ii))
- Wider range of efficacy.
- When Used Properly, Wastes Will Pass Paint Filter Test (EPA 9095).
