Hydroweed’s
peet-like material absorbs hydrocarbons by encapsulating them on
contact. It is one of Nature’s non-chemical wonders. One pound
of Hydroweed will absorb EIGHT TO TWELVE TIMES ITS WEIGHT in
medium oil ... fifteen times more than clay. Hydroweed rejects
water indefinitely and literally ‘locks up’ the oil and
chemicals along with any heavy metals, preventing them from
leaking out once they are absorbed. Because Hydroweed will not
release soaked up oil or other hydrocarbons, it is ideal for
cleaning up any type of oil or chemical spill.
Hydroweed is also easy
and safe to dispose of. It can be disposed of in a landfill, in
your garden, or by incineration in accordance with regulations.
It is less expensive, more effective and completely safe to use.

The
Environmental Clean-Up Product For the 21st Century!
Hydro-Weed is one of Nature's non-chemical wonders.
Using a select type of peat moss, and a processing that
sterilizes the individual fibers while killing off the insects,
Hydro-Weed is a safe, environmentally friendly product that
reacts just the opposite of what you would expect. One pound of
Hydro-Weed will absorb EIGHT TO TWELVE TIMES ITS WEIGHT
in medium weight oil. That is fifteen times more than clay
absorbers. Hydro-Weed is non corrosive, non polluting and non
toxic. It is completely safe and easy to use. Because Hydro-Weed
will NOT release soaked up oil or other hydrocarbons, it
is the ideal product for cleaning up any type of oil or chemical
spill. While peat moss is normally used in gardening to retain
moisture around plant roots, Hydro-Weed differs in that it
rejects water indefinitely. It literally 'locks up' the chemical
along with any heavy metals, preventing them from leaking or
washing out once they are absorbed.
Any type of hydrocarbon leak on the surface of water, be
it an ocean, lake, stream or river, presents a danger of
contamination to the water as well as all living creatures,
vegetation and shore lines. Hydro-Weed sprinkled on the top of
the spill contains the chemicals and 'locks it up' so that it
cannot stick to any living creature, vegetation or shore line.
It also prevents the chemical from sinking to the bottom once it
is in its fiber. A bird landing on the top of a spill treated
with Hydro-Weed would simply take off again without a single
drop of oil on its feathers.
Once the spill has been cleaned up, you can
simply dispose of the Hydro-Weed by spreading it along a fence
line or elsewhere for weed control. Nature will then provide the
microbes who will eat the oil or chemical contained in it and
the peat moss construction of the Hydro-Weed will benefit the
soil just as any other peat moss would do.
Hydro-Weed is ideal for those living near a body of
water, boat owners, and anyone else who regularly uses chemicals
or encounters spills. Hydro-Weed works just as well on dry
surfaces or on soil as it does on water. It will selectively
pick up a chemical spill on a wet roadway and leave the water
behind. Hydro-Weed can be used as a packing ,material in boxes
containing shipments of chemical products, or anything else that
may leak or create moisture. Every transporter should carry
Hydro-Weed to safeguard against insurance loss and environmental
damage. Every household should have an ample supply of
Hydro-Weed to catch and absorb oil, grease and other
hydrocarbons, and dispose of them in an environmentally safe
manner.
NOTHING ELSE
DOES WHAT HYDRO-WEED DOES...NOTHING!
Key Benefits
- Less mass to take to the landfill.
|
- Less expensive to use and store.
|
- Environmentally safe and friendly!
|
Hydroweed Features
- Hydroweed is a lightweight,
non-toxic Peat Moss. Because it is so lightweight it is
easy to store and use.
-
Hydroweed acts as natural
hydro-carbon absorbent, and it resists water
saturation. It encapsulates hydro-carbons on
contact, on wet or dry surfaces
-
Hydroweed will absorb all oil
products PCB’s and oil based paints
-
Hydroweed is easy to apply and to
clean up. It leaves no messy residue behind.
-
And because it will not release
the captured hydrocarbons back into the environment,
disposal is easy. It passes North American Leachate
Standards, so you can put it in a landfill,
incinerate it, or land farm.
-
Hydroweed is Environmentally safe
and biodegradable.
-
Hydroweed requires less product
than clay absorbents, so it’s less expensive to use.
-
Hydroweed reduces up to 90% of
combustible vapors on contact due to high vapor.
-
And, Hydroweed does not generate
electrostatic charges.
