CANSORB

CANSORB is an all organic hydrocarbon absorbent with a high humic acid content, manufactured from high quality large fibre Sphagnum Peat Moss. Due to its fibrous structure and its processing, CANSORB works to absorb hydrocarbons quickly on contact by virtue of its wicking action and encapsulates oil on contact. This makes CANSORB ideal for hydrocarbon clean up both on open water and land applications. CANSORB absorbs, on average, eight times its weight.
