AT A GLANCE
Spray undiluted onto the remaining oil film – for light oil films, it can also be diluted to 50 per cent or more.
Not hazardous to water (AwSV) and Non-HME – not harmful to the marine environment.
Accelerates the biodegradation of hydrocarbons.
For harbours, canals, lakes and shorelines – to be used in conjunction with oil booms and oil absorbent mats.
FMO Gewässer is a liquid oil absorbent for the manual treatment of oil films on water surfaces and in riparian areas. It is sprayed undiluted over the entire surface of the remaining oil film using a pressure sprayer or hand-pump sprayer; for light oil films, it may also be diluted to 50 per cent or more. Use on water bodies must be carried out in consultation with the relevant water authority.
In the event of accidents in ports and along the coast
Larger quantities of oil are first contained using oil booms and then absorbed using oil absorbents or oil-absorbing mats. FMO Gewässer treats the remaining oil film on the water’s surface – in rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, harbours, canals, as well as in rainwater retention basins, fire-fighting water basins and catchment basins.

Natural degradation
FMO Gewässer contains biosurfactants and accelerates the natural biodegradation of hydrocarbons. Suitable for hydrocarbons of synthetic, mineral, plant and animal origin, e.g. diesel, heating oil or hydraulic oil.
Environment and Safety
Not hazardous to water (AwSV), Non-HME – not harmful to the marine environment (MARPOL/IMDG), not classified as a dangerous good (ADR/RID/IMDG/IATA), not classified under CLP – free from hazard pictograms. Meets the requirements of ÖNORM B 5104/5105/5106 regarding emulsifying behaviour. Based on natural raw materials. Note: May reduce the oxygen content of water bodies.
Direct: The bio-surfactants contained in the product break down the oil film on the water’s surface and in coastal areas, and bind the oil in a finely dispersed form.
Next: The hydrocarbons are broken down naturally through biological processes. FMO water accelerates this breakdown.

Request data sheetsAPPLICATION
Contain larger quantities of oil in advance using oil booms and absorb them with oil absorbent or oil-absorbing fleece. Spray FMO undiluted over the entire surface of the remaining oil film using a pressure sprayer, hand-pump sprayer or similar device. For light oil films, FMO Gewässer can also be used in a diluted form (from 50 per cent). The treatment is complete as soon as the oil film is no longer visible – usually after a few seconds.
Dosage: 50–100 % – Use undiluted; for light oil films, it may also be diluted from 50 %. Concentrate in the working solution
