Imbiber Beads® vs. Alternatives

Imbiber Beads®

Alternatives

Volume Pickup:

will ABSORB/IMBIBE up to 27:1

Volume Pickup:

can only Adsorb up to one time their own volume of spilled liquid – 1:1

Secondary Contamination:

will virtually eliminate secondary contamination.

Secondary Contamination:

will more often contribute to secondary contamination.

Vapor Release:

is reduced 500 – 600% that of adsorbents. Flash points raised as a result making a dangerous situation less

Vapor Release:

increased surface area increases the rate of vapor release, lowering flash point and increasing the risk.

OSHA:

Contamination of personnel both to free liquid and to hazardous vapors virtually eliminated, thereby “reducing the risk”.

OSHA:

Contamination of personnel to free liquid and hazardous vapors enhanced. Risk is increased.

Life Cycle Costs:

less product required means less product to dispose of. Elimination of secondary contamination means less labor required and more effective cleanup.

Life Cycle Costs:

low volume pickup means increased costs and cost of disposal. Increased incidence of secondary contamination means increased labor costs and questionable efficiency.
