Material only absorbs oil

Absorbent W is an environmentally-friendly product that eliminates oils, gasoline, diesel, and all other petroleum-based fluids from aqueous liquids. Its effectiveness is due to the absorption of petroleum fluids directly into the natural fibers through a crosslink-polymer base. This action locks in hydrocarbons to reduce their levels to as low as 5 ppm.
