  • F-500

    Technical product bulletin: this surface washing agent used in oil spill cleanups can be applied using standard fire apparatus spray nozzle with agitation onto and into spill. Effective on both polar and non-polar hydrocarbons.

  • FFT-SOLUTION®

    Technical product bulletin: this dispersant for oil spill cleanups should be applied as droplets. Manufacturer recommends that spray tips on booms be changed into solid tubing for injection of product 3 to 5 feet below water surface.

  • G-CLEAN OSC-1809

    Technical product bulletin: aka OIL SPILL CLEANUP, this surface washing agent may be applied liberally to heavily weathered oil on rocks or beaches/sand, vegetation, or at full strength on tar balls. Best results if allowed to soak, agitated, or reapplied.

  • GOLD CREW SW

    Technical product bulletin: this surface washing agent for oil spill cleanups should be applied through hand pump sprayer and allowed to presoak, time depending on type of oil and weather conditions. Then apply through power washer or steam powered unit.

  • GOLD CREW® TC

    Technical product bulletin: this surface washing agent for oil spill cleanups desorbs or strips the hydrocarbon off the surface of the solid through surface tension reduction enhanced with physical agitation. The action is not a chemical reaction.

  • GREEN BEAST™ OIL SPILL & ODOR REMEDIATOR

    Technical product bulletin: this surface washing agent used in oil spill cleanups works best applied at high pressure, for treating hydrocarbons on beaches, rocks, and hard surfaces. Preferably applied over 3 consecutive days on heavy spills.

  • GREEN TECHNOLOGIES SOLUTIONS-OIL RECOVERY (GTS-OR)

    Technical product bulletin: this surface washing agent used in oil spill cleanups may clean oil from beaches, rocks, riprap, pilings, and seawalls. May be used in freshwater, estuarine, and marine environments.

  • HYDRO-BOND™

    Technical product bulletin: this miscellaneous oil spill control agent – solidifier is best used in contained systems such as barriers, socks, mats, blankets, etc.

  • JE1058BS

    Technical product bulletin: this bioremediation agent used in oil spill cleanups contains biosurfacant and has the ability to stimulate the biodegradation of oil by indigenous microorganisms. It is a powder, and can be applied without pre-mixing.

  • LAND AND SEA RESTORATION

    Technical product bulletin: this bioremediation agent (nutrient additive) for oil spill cleanups can be used on water, soil, or hard surfaces. It will not damage cured asphalt if used as an absorbent for spills. Apply at 1 part to 3 parts hydrocarbon.

  • MARE CLEAN 200

    Technical product bulletin: this solvent-based dispersant for oil spill cleanups is not affected by salinity, and is effective on any liquid hydrocarbon. Solvent is paraffinic hydrocarbons, surfactants include sorbitan fatty acid esters and polysorbates.

  • MUNOX SR®

    Technical product bulletin: this bioremediation agent (microbiological culture) for oil spill cleanups can be applied to surface water, beaches, marsh, or wetland. It is effective even on heavy petroleum compounds, and does not damage marsh or wetlands.

  • NALE-IT

    Technical product bulletin: this surface washing agent for oil spill cleanups is applied by pressure sprayer to pit closures, surface hydrocarbon spills, compressor stations, pipeline and flow line leaks, well head and tank farm leaks, and highway spills

  • NATURE'S WAY HS

    Technical product bulletin: aka MICRO CLEAN or POWERCLEAN, this surface washing agent used in oil spill cleanups should be applied full strength to surfaces such as shorelines and beaches, pressure sprayed into cracks/crevices, and scrubbed well.

  • NEOS AB3000

    Technical product bulletin: this hydrocarbon solvent based dispersant used in oil spill cleanups can be sprayed neat on the oil slick in atomized form. Effective with crude and residual heavy oil, and also at controlling volatile emissions.

  • OSR-10

    Technical product bulletin: this surface washing agent used in spill cleanups separates the oil from the physical surface, which includes shorelines, rocks, and beaches, to allow it to be sprayed off with a water rinse.

  • PETRO-CLEAN

    Technical product bulletin: this surface washing agent used in oil spill cleanups on rocks, shorelines, sea walls, bridges, and highways. It is effective when applied through power washers or garden type sprayers in light dilution.

  • PETROMAX PSC 3

    Technical product bulletin: this surface washing agent used in oil spill cleanups reverses the charge of the sand particles holding the hydrocarbons so they repel each other - the separated hydrocarbons can then be easily removed.

  • PETROTECH 25

    technical product bulletin: this surface washing agent used in oil spill cleanups is generally applied neat in its factory supplied concentrate form. For lighter oils, with educting or proportioning equipment, an aqueous solution may be used.

  • RAPIDGRAB 2000™

    Technical product bulletin: this miscellaneous oil spill control agent used in cleanups is a non-ionic liquid formulation applied by mist spraying onto floating oil slicks and sheens. Uses oleophitic synergistic effect of contraction and congealment.
