OIL CLEANING BIO-PRODUCTS LTD.

ABSORPTION & STABILISATION OF SPILLED ACIDS

 

  Avoids violent spattering  Biodegradable
 Full absorption; part-neutralisation  Cuts out fumes
 Recycled waste cellulose fibres  Safe to use
 Non-toxic  Can be incinerated

 

Hegacid will not only safely absorb and encapsulate but also stabilise and partly neutralise even concentrated acids, without spattering or any violent reaction. It can then be safely handled for removal or complete neutralisation by standard treatments. Half a kilo of Hegacid will effectively absorb over three litres of acid.

ABSORPTION & STABILISATION OF SPILLED ACIDS

When dealing with acid spills, wear protective gloves and breathing mask or respirator as directed.

Spread Hegacid in the form a containment barrier around the source of the spill. Once the acid is contained, place Hegacid directly over the contained liquid. Absorption will take place without spattering. Use enough Hegacid to ensure complete absorption. Acidic vapours will very quickly be suppressed, and the acid will be completely encapsulated within the absorbent fibres. Hegacid will partly neutralise acids. The absorbed acid may then be removed for disposal, in accordance with regulations and practice applicable to the site in question. Hegacid is available in bags of 11 kilos. This is enough to deal with up to 67 litres of acid.
