• Immediate prevention of workplace accidents: Spreading the mineral granules instantly dries the slippery film of oils and solvents, restoring grip and floor safety for the transit of pedestrians and forklifts.
• Chemical reduction of odors and fermentation: The exceptional specific surface area and microscopic porosity of the sepiolite trap not only liquids but also gaseous fumes and moisture, sanitizing the workshop environment.
• Absolute fire safety in storage areas: The non-combustible nature of the clay granule ensures that, even in case of contact with flammable hydrocarbons, the resulting mixture does not feed open flames or thermal ignition on the floor.
• Regulatory compliance without risk of sanctions: Using this certified asbestos-free absorbent eliminates the illegal use of sawdust or rags, aligning the company with inspection requirements for hygiene and safety in the workplace.
• Quick removal with reduction in operational costs: The mechanical action requires only a few minutes of waiting (cause → effect), allowing for smooth removal of the agglomerated substance with a broom and shovel, without leaving streaks or pasty residues on single-fired surfaces.

This granular sepiolite absorbent finds its optimal and recommended application within factories, mechanical workshops, logistics yards, loading and unloading areas, fuel depots, auto electricians, and body shops. It is the standard mineral device to be kept available at fluid storage points to act promptly on industrial floors made of concrete, asphalt, and single-fired surfaces subject to accidental spills of lubricants, organic solvents, and petroleum derivatives, ensuring the maintenance of a clean work area and limiting the spread of contaminants before disposal according to law.

The h1045_11 model is the correct choice when company safety management requires a natural mineral product with very high porosity, safe to handle (free of asbestos and toxic substances), and with a certified absorption power of 60% by weight. It proves preferable to organic or vegetable substitutes (such as sawdust) because it guarantees chemical inertia and non-combustibility, preventing the impregnated material from becoming a dangerous fuel itself or a source of bacterial fermentation. Choosing this 20 kg bag allows for clear mapping of company disposal flows, offering predefined traceability for the assignment of EWC Codes (15 02 02* or 15 02 03) when filling out the waste register.

What advantages does fine granular sepiolite offer compared to the use of traditional sawdust or paper towels?

Sawdust and paper are flammable organic materials that, in contact with oils and hydrocarbons, increase the fire load of the room and tend to clump on the flooring, creating a sludge that is difficult to remove. Fine sepiolite, on the other hand, is a natural sedimentary clay that is non-combustible and chemically inert; it does not generate thermal reactions, resists mechanical treading without crushing, and absorbs up to 60% of its weight while also retaining odors and moisture, in full compliance with workplace safety regulations.

What EWC code should be assigned to the exhausted granules after floor cleaning operations?

The attribution of the European Waste Catalogue (EWC) Code depends on the use of the product: if the granule is used to collect and remediate accidental spills of oils, hydrocarbons, solvents, or other polluting liquids in the workshop, it must be disposed of as hazardous waste with EWC Code 15 02 02*. In the event that the material is expired, deteriorated, or otherwise unused and sent directly for disposal as is, it is classified as non-hazardous waste with EWC Code 15 02 03.

What is the correct way to use the 0.60-1.80 mm granules to ensure total oil removal?

The operational procedure involves spreading a thin and uniform layer of sepiolite granules directly over the spilled liquid substance (oil, solvent, or hydrocarbon). Leave the product to act for a few minutes to allow the natural porosity of the mineral to complete the capillarity and absorption action. Once the liquid is completely trapped in the solid structure of the granule, simply remove everything from the surface by sweeping away the saturated residue, leaving the concrete or asphalt perfectly dry and clean.
