Spill-Dri™
Spill-Dri™ contains and absorbs unwanted liquid spills, and removes sheen
from floors, work surfaces, driveways, etc and, like Spill-Sorb, is designed
as an alternative to clay-type industrial floor absorbents. Spill-Dri
is made from 100% reclaimed natural cellulose fibre and absorbs liquids
ranging from oils and solvents to water and non aggressive chemicals.
Absorption is via capillary action, and, as such, the absorbed liquid
is locked into the cellulose fibre, thereby preventing leaching and handling
problems. Spill-Dri incorporates ground walnut shells which act to remove
the sheen from spills following clean-up. |

Bio Smart Absorbents
Absorbent 15™
Bio-Smart Absorbent 15™ is manufactured from recycled materials that would otherwise be thrown away as waste.
These organic fibrous materials are blended and processed to produce a range of absorbents that quickly absorb and control a wide variety of liquid spills including oils, petroleum, fuels, solvents, cooking oils, sewage, protein fluids and other messy liquids that could pollute or contaminate the work area and the environment.
Because of its strong ‘wicking effect’ Absorbent 15 is able to rapidly encapsulated liquids so that they cannot leach back into the environment. Absorbent 15 has been tested for and passes stringent international liquid release standards. In many areas, Bio-Smart Absorbent 15 can be disposed of to landfill, however this is subject to local regulations.
All Bio-Smart absorbents contain a selection of safe and highly effective microbes that will ‘eat and digest’ oils and many types of hydrocarbons. When the resultant oil / absorbent mix are placed in landfill it is rapidly composted. Alternately the waste mix can be incinerated yielding less than 4% ash.
Bio-Smart absorbents are the natural way to convert potentially harmful liquid pollutants into harmless compost and beneficial ‘earthy’ products.

Absorbent Road Grip™
Bio-Smart Absorbent Road Grip™ is manufactured from a special selection of Australian grown organic cellulose products. These naturally occurring fibrous materials are blended with a mineral to produce a highly effective absorbent that acts quickly to remove a wide variety of liquids including petroleum, oils, fuels, solvents, cooking oils, paint, sewage, protein fluids and other messy liquids that could pollute or contaminate the work area, roadways and the environment.
Not only does Road Grip leave paved surfaces ‘dry’ the mineral additive significantly reduces slippage improving safety for both humans and machines alike. Road Grip passes the Australian standards required for slip testing for both concrete and bitumen surfaces (Test results are available upon request).
Because of its strong ‘wicking effect’ Road Grip able to rapidly encapsulated liquids making it far superior to ‘kitty litter’ products. The mineral base leaves the surface gritty making this product far superior to standard cellulose products. The end result is an Absorbent that has truly unique characteristics.
Bio-Smart Road Grip has also been designed so that it can readily be collected using commercially available street sweepers. This means that spills on busy roads can be cleaned up rapidly to allow the fastest return to normal traffic flow. It also means that worker safety can be protected as hand collection using brooms and shovels becomes a thing of the past.
All Bio-Smart absorbents contain a selection of safe and highly effective microbes that will ‘eat and digest’ oils and many types of hydrocarbons. Whilst this product can be disposed of to landfill safely, its disposal, once used, may be subject to any local regulations that pertain to the contaminant contained in the resultant waste

Absorbent 30™
Absorbent 30™ is an effective product for oil spill control and is made from a relatively heavy, fibrous material and is designed to encapsulate and recover spills that may occur in outdoor areas. Being heavier, Absorbent 30 is less effected by wind and so will not blow around in windy areas as do many light weight powdery absorbents.
The natural fibres in Absorbent 30 provide a very a effective outdoor absorbent that absorbs a wide variety of liquids including petroleum, hydraulic fluids, coolants, oils, fuels, solvents, cooking oils and sewage. Because of the strong ‘wicking effect’ of the fibres in Absorbent 30, hydrocarbons and other fluids sorbed by the product are encapsulated so they cannot readily leach back out and into the environment. By solidifying a liquid in this manner it is much easier to control and recover. Once absorbed, hydrocarbons are far less likely to form gasses and therefore the likelihood of an explosive event is reduced.
Absorbent 30 is also resistant to thermal attack and therefore will not burn readily. In fact in many instances whilst the product may have been used to absorb hydrocarbons such as diesel it is still very difficult to ignite and will tend smoulder at most. Regardless, normal Worksafe practices in relation to the correct handling of flammable liquids must be followed.
Absorbent 30 contains an array of safe, highly effective microbes that will ‘eat and digest’ many types of oil and hydrocarbons. The resultant by-product is converted to compost. Because Absorbent 30 is highly bioactive it is the product of choice for hydrocarbon spills that occur on non-paved surfaces (dirt and in the field), that may be difficult to fully recover.
This product is commonly used by companies whose primary need is for a for spill clean-up product after vehicle breakdowns that occur during field operations. Other users include armed services for field operations, tow truck operators, hydraulic repairers, fuel tanker operators and bulk fuel carriers such as the rail. Electricity generators find Absorbent 30 useful for the recovery of transformer oils.
Whilst these products can be disposed of to landfill safely it’s disposal, once used, may be subject to any local regulations that pertain to the contaminant contained in the resultant waste.
