• Extraordinary retention capacity (Up to 650%): The spongy structure of lignin and cellulose allows a single light 6.5 kg bag to encapsulate up to 45 liters of polluting liquid, drastically reducing the amount of material needed for cleanup.
• Certified fire protection (M1 Approval): The powder has an M1 (CNPP) fire-retardant classification and does not propagate fire; this ensures that the absorption of hydrocarbons or flammable solvents occurs in total safety, eliminating the risk of fire.
• Clean cleaning without pasty residues: Unlike traditional clays, this vegetable formulation does not form sludge on contact with water or aqueous solutions, facilitating mechanical collection and leaving the workshop floor dry and free of streaks.
• Respiratory health protection: Being a 0.5-1.4 mm solid granular mixture completely free of volatile dust and shredded fibers, it does not saturate the air during spreading, protecting the operator from the risk of inhaling harmful microparticles.
• Immediately walkable and non-slip surfaces: The high-speed dehydrating action eliminates the slippery film of fats and oils, instantly restoring a safe and rough floor that prevents accidents and falls of personnel.
• Eco-friendly disposal and zero wear: The 100% vegetable and biodegradable nature reduces the ecological impact during disposal, while the non-abrasive consistency avoids scratching or damaging delicate industrial floors and single-fired tiles.

This vegetable and fire-retardant absorbent powder finds its optimal application in emergency remediation and routine maintenance of mechanical workshops, production plants, industrial laboratories, chemical warehouses, and logistical yards. Thanks to compliance with the UNI CEN/TS 15366:2010 standard and its non-abrasive nature, it is the ideal product for collecting accidental spills of oils and fats on industrial floors in concrete, asphalt, resins, and single-fired surfaces, managing aggressive chemicals, inks, solvents, or complex fluid mixtures with a single device.

The h1043_49 model is the correct choice when the company’s environmental safety plan requires a high-performance industrial absorbent (45 liters per bag), ultra-lightweight (weight 6.5 kg) and with M1 certified fire-retardant properties to eliminate the risk of open flames. It proves clearly preferable to traditional mineral clays or common sawdust because its natural matrix based on lignin and cellulose absorbs up to 6.5 times its own weight, is chemically neutral (pH 6), and is non-abrasive on surfaces. Choosing this formulation compliant with the UNI CEN/TS 15366:2010 standard means investing in a biodegradable product, free of volatile dust and immediately ready for use, capable of optimizing cleanup times and subsequent landfill disposal costs.

What does the UNI CEN/TS 15366:2010 standard, which this vegetable absorbent complies with, provide?

The UNI CEN/TS 15366:2010 technical specification defines requirements and standardized test methods for absorbents intended for use on road and industrial floors. Compliance with this standard ensures that the vegetable powder respects precise efficiency parameters in the absorption of oils and chemical fluids, maintains a high anti-slip power on post-treatment surfaces, and does not release toxic substances or dangerous dust during emergency maneuvers.

How should one proceed for the disposal of spent powder after cleaning a contaminated floor?

The destruction or disposal in landfill of the spent powder must be carried out in strict compliance with current legislative regulations. Since the vegetable base in lignin and cellulose is chemically neutral and biodegradable, the waste classification and disposal method (incineration or controlled disposal) depend exclusively on the nature of the liquid product absorbed (e.g., mineral oils, solvents, or acids), following the specifications of the company waste register.

How do the M1 and CNPP fire-retardant properties affect safety of use with flammable liquids?

The M1 classification (issued according to CNPP standards) certifies that this resinous absorber is a non-flammable fire-retardant material that does not propagate fire. When the 0.5-1.4 mm granules are spread on hydrocarbons, hot oils, or flammable solvents, the 7% water-based fireproofing inhibits the liquid’s ability to form free incendiary vapors, blocking the development of accidental flares on the workshop floor.
