Absorbent Definitions and Word Search

Try your hand at the above word search and learn about our range of absorbents at the same time.  Warning:  This is not for the faint hearted...

Words to find:

Absorbent - Something that absorbs (for instance our pads, booms, mini-booms etc.)... capable of absorbing spills

Argyle Commercial - Australia's Leading Supplier of Spill Response and Environmental Protection Products

Bilge Boom - Put in the bilge of your boat (or in any enclosed place) to absorb oils

Bio-Remediate - This is often done to spill sites, using absorbents with oil eating microbes these nice oil eating microbes eat the absorbed oils to break down and remediate the spill

Coir - Commonly confused with singing, this is actually a highly absorbent loose fibre product

Granules - Although people hold a lot of affection for them, no, it's not your grandma... absorbent granules are the loose absorbents which are applied to spilt liquids

Hydrophobic - Our oil-only pads have no affinity with water in fact water is so scared of our oil-only pads that it gets repelled

Kitty Litter - Absorbent granules, kitty litter, dry absorbent... they are all granular absorbents

Marine Boom - Used to respond to oil spills on water, you can join these booms together into any continuous length and it will absorb the... HEY PRESTO, IT'S GONE!

Mineral - Our mineral absorbent (a fossilised sea sponge) is highly absorbent, and will absorb up to five times as much as regular clay based absorbent granules

Mini-Boom - Although they don't make a sound, the effect they have at a spill reverberates.  Super absorbent and easy to use, these absorbent mini-booms are long (1.2 and 2.4m) and skinny (75mm), hence they're often known as absorbent snakes (and warning:  ours have a bite)...

Oil - What people spill, what our absorbents absorb - simple.  Or for a complicated meaning:  any of a large class of substances typically unctuous, viscous, combustible, liquid at ordinary temperatures, and soluble in ether or alcohol but not in water: used for anointing, perfuming, lubricating, illuminating, heating, etc. (ref. Dictionary.com)

Peat - Used as an absorbent, absorbent peat is one of our most popular selling products
