BASIC FACTS ABOUT MODIFIED CLAY MEDIA

• Hydrophilic in nature, displays low surface tensions, repels water and is best suited for excellent performance in adsorbing hydrocarbons
• Obtains contaminant reductions up to 99.999% efficient, often well within EPA compliance levels
• Relatively inert, non-toxic, non-corrosive, non-hazardous, not prone to oxidation
• Displays excellent performance, even in the low concentration range
• Rapid kinetic uptake
• Increases solution purity and crystallization
• Breaks down emulsions, improves demulsibility
• Adsorbs up to 400% of its own weight, while activated carbon can only absorb an average of 10% to 20% of its own weight
• Adsorbs, bonds and locks contaminants in a chemical bond with no leaching
• High resistance to abrasion, breakage and deterioration during use, assuring a long life in service
• Mechanically strong in order to resist crushing and abrading action to which they are often subjected
• Will not dry out, crack, channel or deteriorate when stored in dry, anhydrous conditions for long periods of time
• Can be blended with other adsorbants such as carbon, clay, minerals, molecular bonding agents, elastomeric bonding agents
