Congeals and bonds water-borne petroleum based spills.
A650 PETRO BOND is a non-toxic, non-hazardous, non-corrosive, environmentally friendly petroleum solidifying agent (MSDS available below) primarily for water-borne spills. Petroleum-based products include oils, fuels, solvents, paints, etc.
A dry granular material specifically designed to immobilize petroleum-based liquid spills on land by solidifying the liquid. Unlike absorbents that soak up the liquid through expansion, A650 bonds the liquid into a solid carpet-like mass, with minimal volumetric increase and retains the liquid for easier removal. This will reduce wildlife loss. A650 eliminates the dripping sponge effect by not allowing the liquid to be squeezed out an minimizes any residue or contamination.
| A unique feature of A650 is that while solidifying the petroleum-based spill into a solid carpet-like mass, it does not pick up any water in the process. |
This allows A650 to be used on land for preventative measures prior to a possible spill. For example, a trench around a petroleum storage area or under an in-ground tank could be filled with A650 to prevent ground contamination in case of a leak.
The amount of product to be used depends on the desired results (i.e., from congealing to solidification). The application rate may vary with viscosity of the liquid being picked up. To fully solidify the liquid normally requires one (1) pound of A650 to ten (10) pounds of spilled liquid. Test on small sample for predictable rate usage. Pick up ratio and speed of solidification will vary with type of liquid being bonded, amount of volatiles remaining, temperatures and the viscosity of the liquid.
When most fuels are solidified they will pass TCLP testing and can be landfilled according to EPA guidelines or incinerated (all A600 series products are certified incinerable). A650 has passed the Toxic Characteristics Leachate Procedure (TCLP). The test was conducted by a laboratory which is recognized by the Ohio EPA. Extreme caution must be exercised when handling, storing and disposing of solidified or gelled hazardous materials. COMPLIANCE: Solidified or gelled materials must be disposed of in accordance with federal, state, and local laws and regulations. The user is solely responsible for compliance with disposal of solidified or gelled materials.
