Absorbent for chemical and hydrocarbon spills

Snow is a multipurpose absorbent powder suitable for soaking up any kind of liquid or semi-liquid substance, including all animal, vegetable, mineral, petroleum, paint and chemical liquids - the only exception being hydrofluoric acid.

The powder is made from an inert inorganic blend of siliceous minerals containing sodium, potassium and aluminium. It works by encapsulating the substance absorbed, trapping it inside the powder particles. This phenomenon is known as 'silica encapsulation', which is aided by the particle structure: a hollow, reticular particle that encapsulates, traps and does not release the substance absorbed. That which the powder absorbs becomes part of the silicate molecules.

The product is re-usable and is suitable for both hydrocarbon and chemical spills.

Whatever the viscosity of substances, the product soaks up the liquid and leaves the surface clean and dry. It quickly turns the liquid into a solid that can easily be disposed.

The powder is claimed to be safe for all applications and suitable for removing stains caused by petroleum products, paints, glycol, all liquid and semi-liquid food substances, body fluids and most chemicals.
