- Product Description
- 3M™ Chemical Sorbents are made from inert, synthetic fibers principally polypropylene and polyester. They are available in
- a wide range of formats and are lightweight and nominally dust-free. They have a high adsorption capacity which minimizes
- the amount of waste for disposal.
- Color:
- Highly visible. Yellow (High Capacity pads and rolls, P-110 pads), yellow with multi-colored material flecks (Medium Capacity
- pads and rolls). Mini-booms and pillows are white with black print. Medium Capacity appearance may vary due to recycle
- content used.
- Selection Guide:
- Folded – Combines four formats in one product. It is perforated every 16 inches (40 cm) and can be unfolded to be used
- as booms, pillows, sheets or rolls.
- Minibooms – Generally on-land applications to contain and adsorb spills.
- Pillows – Used for bulk absorption of oil on land or water. Particularly useful in drains to act as interceptors.
- Pads – A highly adaptable format. They can be used on water to pick up oil covering large surface areas and in wiping
- applications.
- Particulate – For fast coverage and adsorption of spills.
- Rolls – For fast coverage of large surface areas of water, they can be easily torn to length. Also used as a mat to keep
- shorelines or banks clean and to place used sorbents upon.
- Spill Kits and Response Packs – May contain different types of sorbents and temporary disposal bags. Compact for easy
- storage and quick response.
- Typical Liquids Adsorbed:
- 3M chemicals sorbents are suitable for adsorbing a wide range of liquids including certain acids, bases, coolants, petroleum
- based fluids, non-aggressive chemicals and aqueous based solutions.
- Limitations of Use:
- 3M recommends that a compatibility test with the liquid of interest be carried out prior to using the sorbent. For use in
- temperature over 60C it is essential that such a compatibility test is made prior to use. Do not use 3M chemical sorbents with
- the following concentrated chemicals as there is a risk of degradation: oleum, chlorosulfonic acid, liquid bromine, fuming nitric
- acid, chromic acid, sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide.
- Precautions:
- 3M chemical sorbents are not in themselves hazardous products, however, they take on the characteristics of the liquids they
- adsorb. Adequate precautions should be taken when handling or storing hazardous / flammable materials and appropriate
- personal protective equipment should be worn. Users should be informed of the risks incurred in use, storage and disposal
- of used sorbents.
- Disposal:
- Dispose of used sorbents only in accordance with local and national regulations. Disposal companies should be consulted
- for their recommendations.
- Waste Minimization:
- 3M recommends that waste streams should be minimized wherever possible. 3M sorbents promote minimization by only
- being a small part of the total waste. In addition where laws allow, 3M sorbents can be disposed of by incineration yielding
- less than 0.2% ash (ASTM D-482). The high energy value of the sorbents is also favorable for incineration and waste-to-fuel
- systems.
- Sustainability:
- High Capacity sorbents contain at least 25% recycled content by weight. Medium Capacity sorbents contain at least 50%
- recycled content by weight.
- Adsorption / Sorbency:
- The sorbent capacity quoted in the table below is based on testing per ASTM F 726 “Standard Test Method for Sorbent
- Performance of Adsorbents.” In brief, the sorbent samples were immersed in a “medium” density oil, drained and weighed.
- In the 1981 version of the standard, samples are immersed for a variable period of time in an attempt to make sure the
- sorbent is saturated. The sorbent is then drained horizontally. In the 2006 version of the standard, samples are immersed
- for 15 minutes and then most types are drained vertically. Capacity according to both versions of the standard is presented.
- Data presented are nominal; there will be variability in sorbent performance. Capacity and speed of adsorption will
- differ depending on the liquid’s polarity, surface tension and viscosity. Ambient temperature may also affect results.
- Therefore, results will vary by application.
