FIBROSAN © – polypropylene (PP) composite staple fibers for sorption of oil products
Purpose:
Sorption of oil products by environmental pollution due to accidents, final purification of waste waters (min. 10 liters of oil / 1 kg fibers).
Characteristic:
FIBROSAN is a special staple fiber made from isotactic polypropylene and is modified with the mineral filler. In comparison with standard fibers the modification develops a change of internal morphology and surface dimensional transformations. Compared to unmodified fibers, higher specific area of the composite fibers allows to offer new functional properties.
Properties:
- linear density (dtex): 6,7
- cut length (mm): 5, 10, 12, 38, 60, 90, 115, 130, 150
- relative strength (cN/dtex): 3,0
- elongation (%): 150
- curls frequency (cm-1): 3 – 7
- filler content (wt%): 10 – 15
- sorption capacity (liters per kg of fibers): min. 10
Ability to retain oil substances depends on the filler content and technological conditions of the fiber production.
Application:
FIBROSAN is suitable for oil spill cleanup or wherever contamination of environment by petroleum substances is a risk, caused mainly by accidents of technological equipment or transport vehicles. Product can be also used for fine purification of waste waters before their drainage.
Delivery & package:
Product is delivered in its natural forms – cable, staple fiber or flake. From these forms different segments, snakes, pillows or nonwovens with/without carrier layer can be further manufactured.
Staple fiber and flakes are delivered pressed inside the film package weighing up to 100 kg or as a bulk material in PE bags with the weight up to 20 kg. Product is further delivered and stored in cardboard boxes with the weight up to 70 kg.
