The oil binding fleeces offer the following advantages:
- Exceptionally high absorption capacity (up to 25 times their own weight!)
- Depending on the area of application, binding fleeces are used
... that either absorb only oil (but no water),
... or those that absorb all liquids, including chemicals.

Consumption and disposal costs are reduced:
- Thanks to their low weight, binding fleeces can be used quickly
- They do not cause dust or require time-consuming sweeping
- When used preventively, they prevent the risk of slipping
- Unlike granulates, the amount used can always be controlled
- Binding fleeces have a good calorific value when disposed of and, as such, produce less than 0.05% ash residue.

Different properties for specific applications

Applications in the field of water protection
Products for water protection are not perforated and differ in terms of handling as follows:
-Sheets: Treatment of small areas on water or on the ground
-Rolls: Practical and quick to use for protecting and cleaning larger areas
-Pillows: Blocking and collecting leaks, e.g. in sewage treatment plants; absorbing oil slicks
-Barriers: Used to prevent, contain, and contain pollution on rivers and all water surfaces (in ports, lagoons, basins, lakes, etc.)

Applications in industry
In our range for industry, the cloths and rolls are perforated for optimal, cost-saving use.

ICOSORB® - Range of absorbent mats

First

Fast and maximum liquid absorption on the floor and on the water surface. The absorption of liquids is proportional to the thickness of the absorbent mat. The products in the water protection range are not perforated. In our industrial range, the mats and rolls are perforated for optimal, cost-saving use.

SM

The top side of these products is reinforced with a spunbond fleece that has been bonded using a melt-blown process with hot calendering. The 100% lint-free surface makes the product tear-resistant.

Application: for wiping, on work surfaces and as a preventive measure around machines and vehicles.

SMS

Double-sided reinforcement, 100% lint-free on both sides. This versatile binding fleece protects floors, workplaces, and work surfaces and is suitable for wiping and maintenance work.

MF

Dense, non-slip carpet. The underside is coated with a dense film, protecting surfaces from spilled liquids. For use under machines or in hazardous areas.

SMF

Dense and non-slip carpet with reinforced surface. The underside is coated with a dense film and an anti-slip coating to protect surfaces from spilled liquids and improve adhesion to the floor.

Application: on traffic routes in the workplace.
