As a result of this, SUNSORB^TM was developed with the idea of producing environmentally safe, natural absorbents that not only clean up hydrocarbon spills effectively, without harming the environment, but which can also be filtered back into the soil as compost over a period of time.

SUNSORB^TM differs from other commercially available products in that it is manufactured from processed sunflower husks – a by-product of the food industry. There is thus no negative impact on the environment in the production of SUNSORB^TM though utilization of this natural by-product creates a reduced cost, increased efficiency hydrocarbon absorbent.

Using a world-wide patent pending process SUNSORB^TM maximizes the natural abilities of sunflower husks making them oleophilic and hydrophobic. Once in contact with a hydrocarbon, SUNSORB^TM adsorbs the substance, locking it inside its own cell structure as opposed to the hydrocarbons adhering to its outer layer, thereby minimizing leaching.

Using a mixture of fine, medium and coarse grains, an ideal blend for maximising absorption and suitable for use on both land and water, SUNSORB^TM is environmentally safe, natural and biodegradable. It is non-toxic thereby preventing further damage to the environment after disposal.

SUNSORB^TM is packaged to industry standard norms and can be easily integrated into any company’s existing spill management programme. SUNSORB^TM is a necessity for any spill operator.

SUNSORB^TM is ideal for environmental spill cleanup and remediation purposes at airports, military installations, harbours, rail-ways, transportation companies, fire and police departments, industrial sites or distribution facilities, garages, service stations, oil refineries, oil rigs, drilling rigs, marine vessels and numerous other facilities. Even in the home!

As an ecological, efficient and cost-effective absorbent SUNSORB^TM is essentially your single source provider for all of your hydrocarbon spill control needs.
