Technical Data
3M™ Chemical Sorbents
Use
For control of spills of certain hazardous liquids.
Product Description
3M™ Chemical Sorbents are made from inert, synthetic fibers principally polypropylene and polyester. They are available in
a wide range of formats and are lightweight and nominally dust-free. They have a high adsorption capacity which minimizes
the amount of waste for disposal.
Color
Highly visible. Yellow (High Capacity pads and rolls, P-110 pads), yellow with multi-colored material flecks (Medium Capacity
pads and rolls). Mini-booms and pillows are white with black print. Medium Capacity appearance may vary due to recycle
content used.
Selection Guide
Folded – Combines four formats in one product. It is perforated every 16 inches (40 cm) and can be unfolded to be used
as booms, pillows, sheets or rolls.
Minibooms – Generally on-land applications to contain and adsorb spills.
Pillows – Used for bulk absorption of oil on land or water. Particularly useful in drains to act as interceptors.
Pads – A highly adaptable format. They can be used on water to pick up oil covering large surface areas and in wiping
applications.
Particulate – For fast coverage and adsorption of spills.
Rolls – For fast coverage of large surface areas of water, they can be easily torn to length. Also used as a mat to keep
shorelines or banks clean and to place used sorbents upon.
Spill Kits and Response Packs – May contain different types of sorbents and temporary disposal bags. Compact for easy
storage and quick response.
Typical Liquids Adsorbed
3M chemicals sorbents are suitable for adsorbing a wide range of liquids including certain acids, bases, coolants, petroleum
based fluids, non-aggressive chemicals and aqueous based solutions.

Limitations of Use
3M recommends that a compatibility test with the liquid of interest be carried out prior to using the sorbent. For use in
temperature over 60C it is essential that such a compatibility test is made prior to use. Do not use 3M chemical sorbents with
the following concentrated chemicals as there is a risk of degradation: oleum, chlorosulfonic acid, liquid bromine, fuming nitric
acid, chromic acid, sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide.
Precautions
3M chemical sorbents are not in themselves hazardous products, however, they take on the characteristics of the liquids they
adsorb. Adequate precautions should be taken when handling or storing hazardous / flammable materials and appropriate
personal protective equipment should be worn. Users should be informed of the risks incurred in use, storage and disposal
of used sorbents.
Disposal
Dispose of used sorbents only in accordance with local and national regulations. Disposal companies should be consulted
for their recommendations.
Waste Minimization
3M recommends that waste streams should be minimized wherever possible. 3M sorbents promote minimization by only
being a small part of the total waste. In addition where laws allow, 3M sorbents can be disposed of by incineration yielding
less than 0.2% ash (ASTM D-482). The high energy value of the sorbents is also favorable for incineration and waste-to-fuel
systems.
Sustainability
High Capacity sorbents contain at least 25% recycled content by weight. Medium Capacity sorbents contain at least 50%
recycled content by weight.
Adsorption / Sorbency
The sorbent capacity quoted in the table below is based on testing per ASTM F 726 “Standard Test Method for Sorbent
Performance of Adsorbents.” In brief, the sorbent samples were immersed in a “medium” density oil, drained and weighed.
In the 1981 version of the standard, samples are immersed for a variable period of time in an attempt to make sure the
sorbent is saturated. The sorbent is then drained horizontally. In the 2006 version of the standard, samples are immersed
for 15 minutes and then most types are drained vertically. Capacity according to both versions of the standard is presented.
Data presented are nominal; there will be variability in sorbent performance.
Capacity and speed of adsorption will
differ depending on the liquid’s polarity, surface tension and viscosity. Ambient temperature may also affect results.
Therefore, results will vary by application.
