1. Dry Sweepisa Sustainable Bio Based Granular Absorbent.The natural Bio Basedraw materialsenable
Dry Sweeptowickup oils,fuels,chemicalsandotherliquids,quickly. DrySweep’ssustainable,sorbent
technologyprovidesamore economical andsaferchoice thanclayadsorbents.
Why?
Dry Sweepisan Absorbent.That meansDry Sweep isable to“wick”liquids directly intoits’core.Clayis
an Adsorbent.Thatmeansliquidhastoadhere tothe surface of the granule. Resultismore clayhas to
be usedto absorba similarspill usingDrySweep.
Dry Sweep’sBioBased compositionis the keyto providingmore sorbencythanclay. IndependentLab
Testshave shown Dry Sweepwill reducethe amountof poundsrequiredtoabsorbtwogallonsof oil by
over30% whencomparedtoclay. The mineral compositionof clayretardsliquidtopenetrate its’
interior,thereby reducingits’ sorbencyrate.
Dry Sweephas a lower cost than clay.LessDry Sweepisrequiredtocleanupa spill, thiswill lowerthe
overall disposal costwhencomparedto clay.DrySweeps’weightpercubicfootislessthanclay.This
benefittranslatesinto afreightsavings,because2,200 bags of Dry Sweepcanbe loadedonthe same
trailer,which canonlyhaul 1,100 clayadsorbentbags.
Dry Sweepcontainsno silicadust, as claydoes.Dry Sweepissaferforthe user.Nosilicosis(Silicosiscan

Dry Sweepcan bio remediate simple hydrocarbons,suchasoil,fuel andotherrelatedliquidsinto anon-
toxiccompoundsuchas, carbon dioxide andwater,inabout9 weeks.Claysimply cannotperformthis
task.
Dry Sweepisa fuel,if nohazardousmaterial hasbeenabsorbed. Thiswouldallow DrySweeptobe used
