NatureSorb is a premium dehydrated sphagnum peat moss absorbent engineered for rapid hydrocarbon and chemical spill response across industrial, commercial, and environmental settings. NatureSorb delivers fast, effective absorption with the added benefit of being a naturally derived, biodegradable product.
Unlike synthetic granular absorbents, NatureSorb is oleophilic and hydrophobic – meaning it actively seeks out and locks in oils and hydrocarbons while resisting water. It can absorb approximately 3.8 litres of motor oil per 450 grams used, will not leach absorbed oil or petrochemicals back into the environment, and can reduce flammable vapours on hydrocarbon-contaminated sites by up to 90%.
For health and safety managers in manufacturing, logistics, transport, agriculture, and environmental services, NatureSorb offers a compliant, practical, and environmentally responsible solution for your spill response programme.
- Natural dehydrated sphagnum peat moss composition (85-87% peat moss) with no synthetic additives
- Absorbs approximately 3.8 litres of motor oil per 450 grams used
- Oleophilic and hydrophobic – actively attracts oils and hydrocarbons while repelling water
- Reduces flammable vapours on hydrocarbon-contaminated sites by up to 90%, lowering explosion risk
- Promotes biodegradation of certain hydrocarbons into harmless byproducts, supporting site remediation
- Non-toxic, non-abrasive, and safe for use across a wide range of environments
- Effective on land and standing water applications
- Works on petrol/gasoline in as little as 2 seconds on land
- Will not leach absorbed oils or petrochemicals back into the environment
- Simple three-step application: pour, absorb, sweep or vacuum
