Take an economical approach to absorbing thick oil-based liquids with pom poms. Each one contains thousands of strands, all of which pull in 10 to 50 times their own weight of a liquid. Use an individual pom pom for small cleanup jobs in wet or dry conditions. One pom pom by itself absorbs up to 49 ounces of oil. For larger areas, consider a rope of oil absorbent pom poms. With 30 pom poms on one rope, this absorbent can be spread over an area, such as a shoreline, to catch oil.

Thousands of thin strands of polypropylene are joined together to create this high-surface-area sorbent pom poms that hold heavy oils.

Pom poms repel water making them very effective at removing oils from water.

Suitable for a range of applications including:-
• On beaches and coastlines
• On heavy emulsified oil coming ashore
• Fuel bunds and moats in refineries, power stations and tank farms
• Ideal on bunker fuel and emulsified crude
• Quoted absorbency based on heavy oil
