PREMIER 99
Technical product bulletin: this water based surface washing agent used in oil spill cleanups can be applied by spray, mop, or pressure washer.
-
OIL BOND®
Technical product bulletin: this miscellaneous oil spill control agent is a solidifier used in cleanups. It absorbs and solidifies hydrocarbon spills on freshwater and saltwater or land applications. Ring spill with booms or pillows before treatment.
-
OIL SPILL EATER II
Technical product bulletin: this bioremediation agent (biological enzyme additive) used in hydrocarbon cleanups can be applied by spray or eductor systems. Once it attaches to hydrocarbons, they can no longer attach to shorelines, rocks, or equipment.
-
WASTE-SET #3400®
Technical product bulletin: this oil spill solidifying agent used in cleanups can be used on water or hard surfaces. First apply it to surround the spill preventing migration, then fill in remaining surface area.
-
REMEDIADE™
Technical product bulletin: this bioremediation agent (nutrient additive) used in oil spill cleanups may be applied to any surface or water of any salinity to remove hydrocarbons. In soil, apply by tilling in specified increments.
-
WASTE-SET #3200®
Technical product bulletin: this oil spill solidifying agent used in cleanups will effectively encapsulate crude oil and petroleum-based products on water or on hard surfaces. First apply heavily to perimeter of spill to prevent migration.
-
PETROCLEAN™
Technical product bulletin: this bioremediation agent is suitable for use in oil cleanups on hard surfaces with limited permeability such as concrete, permeable surfaces such as sand, and fresh or salt water.
