InstaZorb 5/20

European Material Safety Data Sheet for InstaZorb 5/20 Industrial absorbent for all liquids and semi-liquids Product description: Expanded volcanic mineral treated with a patented surfactant that allows it to break through the surface tension of the liquid to be absorbed instantaneously. Absorbent for all liquids and semi-liquids: Solvents; Oils; Hydraulic Fluid; Brake Fluid; Glycol; Acid; Base; Epoxy; Glue Paint; Resins; Polymers. Will not contaminate foods and is authorized in France by the law of September 8th 1999. Features: INSTAZORB has the power to extract the hardest spills even from surfaces like cement or concrete. INSTAZORB is very cost effective; it reduces clean up costs, labor costs, disposable costs, slip and fall liability, and even shipping costs. INSTAZORB has 4 times the absorbing capacity of the nearest competition (example: 100g of INSTAZORB to absorb 463 g of oil). INSTAZORB is equal to 3 to 4 bags of clay based absorbents. INSTAZORB will not leach into the environment and therefore helps preserve our underground rivers. INSTAZORB is easy to handle and carry, because one bag containing 50 liters weighs only approx. 5.5 kilos. Moreover it is perfect in order to conform to ISO 14001 regulation. Ingredients: Expanded volcanic mineral treated with a patented surfactant. Physical Characteristics and Chemical Characteristics: check Tech Sheet

Place of usage: All industries and public administrations Directions of usage: 1. Pour INSTAZORB on the spill 2. Using a stiff broom, sweep INSTAZORB through the liquid back and forth until the spill is totally absorbed. It absorbs on CONTACT! 3. Pick up the saturated absorbent with a dust pan and dispose of it in a suitable container Precautions: There is no particular precaution to have per say with INSTAZORB, but there may be some precautions to have depending on the absorbed liquid. *INSTAZORB cannot be used for Hydrofluoric acid. Recommendations: Pour the powder directly on the spill and not in the atmosphere. Once used; close the bag. Storage: In the original package, away from humidity its shelflife is unlimited. Packaging: INSTAZORB 50 liter polyethylene bag: approximately 5 Kg
