Solution · Oil spill clean-up
An alternative to granules as an oil absorbent: liquid oil absorbent for oil stains
Instead of spreading, sweeping up and disposing of granules, a liquid oil-binding agent such as FMO Strasse is simply sprayed onto the surface. The oil spill is removed in a single step.
Granules or liquid oil absorbent?
Both methods bind oil on road surfaces. The difference lies in the work required afterwards.
| Criterion | Oil-absorbent granules | Liquid oil absorbent (FMO Road) |
|---|---|---|
| Application | Sprinkle, work in and leave to take effect | Spray on using the pressure sprayer |
| Rework | Sweep up and collect the soaked granules | No sweeping, no picking up |
| Waste disposal | Oil-soaked granules must be disposed of properly | As a rule, no binder needs to be disposed of |
| Steps | Several | One |
| Mechanism of action | Physically absorbs the oil | Bio-surfactants break down the oil, whilst nutrients aid biodegradation |
How FMO Strasse works
No spreading, no sweeping, no disposal of water-saturated granules.
- Step 1

- Step 2
Spray on
Apply FMO Strasse evenly to the oil film using the pressure sprayer.
