Industrial Absorbents

Global Spill Management and Prevention Solutions

An exhaustive range of clayish industrial absorbents adapted to the requirements of our customers.

We have an extensive range of specialized absorbents in preventing and absorbing spillages, adapted to any liquid and environment of use. Among these absorbents, we include traditional mineral granular products, calcined, recycled, vegetal, polypropylene absorbents, industrial degreasers, and special formats, possessing the recognized certifications to be used in the most exigent circumstances.

Benefits:

Oils, hydrocarbon, solvent, organic liquid spills
Acid solutions spills.
Alkaline solutions spills.
Water-based spills.
Spills on roads/traffic ways: for demanding conditions of mechanical wear.
Certifications: German Type IIIR MPA, French NF P98-190, and Polish CNBOP-PIB.
Viscous spills: Special low flow spills, which require more coarse particles, penetrating inside and absorbing them.
Degreaser: Concentrated cleaning agent for removing stains from oil, hydrocarbons, solvents and organic liquids on all surfaces (asphalt, concrete, stone…). Deep penetration.

Applications:

Spills/discharge elimination:depending on the type of spill /discharge (composition and viscosity) and cleaning surface (size and roughness), we offer the most suitable solution thanks to our product range (recycled mineral granules, vegetables, and synthetics).
Prevention of spills/discharges: To anticipate any spill/discharge problem and thus avoid major catastrophes.
Surface deep-cleaning:This is possible thanks to our degreasing agent, which deeply penetrates any surface (asphalt, concrete, stone….) and removes oil stains, hydrocarbons, solvents, etc.

Chemical & Oil Absorbents

This section includes our Calcined & Natural mineral products.

Our calcined mineral products are effective against all kinds of spillages, such as hydrocarbons, organic solvents, aqueous suspensions, acid, and alkaline compounds.

These products provide excellent performance for the most demanding industrial and professional sectors, even when high levels of quality and maximum safety are required.

Additionally, our calcined mineral products deliver a premium final surface cleaning since no traces of absorbent remain on the surface after product application, as well as proven skid resistance for extra safety.

The range of natural mineral products comprises sepiolite-based products that are compatible with liquid spills, hydrocarbons, organic solvents, aqueous suspensions, and alkaline compounds. With a great absorption performance, our mineral products are one of our most versatile absorbents due to their many potentials uses in many applications.

Tolsa also manufactures absorbents using natural attapulgite minerals, resulting in products compatible with most discharges, such as hydrocarbons, organic solvents, aqueous suspensions, and alkaline compounds (must avoid exposure to acids). Tolsa attapulgite absorbents are especially recommended for industrial activities due to their balanced absorptive properties.

Special Absorbents

This range includes multiuse absorbent products and organic products.

The multiuse absorbent range includes alganite products with great absorption capacity, minor dust emissions, and lightweight properties (easy-to-transport). In addition, alganite products can absorb most discharges and liquid spills (except acids), and they are valid for road and motorway usage, making them universal absorbents intended to meet most industries’ absorbent requirements.

In addition, organic absorbents are ecological high-quality vegetable absorbents made up of resin wood dust. They have fireproof properties. They are developed during the high-temperature drying process which takes place during the manufacturing process. Therefore, these absorbents are suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, including environments where the use of fire-resistant products is required.
