How Do You Choose a Sorbent?
One of the best ways to help you pick the right sorbent is to see what they look like when you're done with them.
Major considerations when chosing sorbent products:
What are the liquids used in a given area?
What type of coolants, lubricants, cleaners etc. This will determine the type of sorbent to use.
How much liquid is being released, from where?
This will help determine what configuration of sorbent to use.
If the sorbents are being used in a traffic area - choose a tough sorbent like Battlemat or one of our industrial sorbent rolls.
Are you looking to go green with your sorbents?
Choose Re-Form which is made from recycled cellulose and is up to 50% more absorbent.
