FAQ
Q: Is Coco Absorb Flammable?
A: CocoAbsorb is not flammable. However, when absorbing flammable liquids like gasoline, ignition can occur but will only burn off the fumes and then smolder out. All absorbed spills should be treated with caution based on the chemicals that’s been picked up as per their Safety Data Sheets instructions.
Q: Does it react with any chemicals?
A: CocoAbsorb has no known toxic chemical reactions with any chemicals, which include acids and caustics.
Q: Can you use this with oil spills on water?
A: Even though CocoAbsorb absorbs water, due to ionization, it will absorb hydrocarbons (petroleum based chemicals) first, so it will pick up oil off of water. Apparatus, application, and recovery needs to be considered separately.
Q: How do you dispose of this after you use it?
A: Although Federal (EPA) and California landfill testing show our product exceeds testing standards and is safe for landfills, we suggest they follow local, state and federal guidelines and regulations regarding disposal of hazardous waste.
Q: Will Coco Absorb get stains out of my drive way?
A: It will absorb anything in liquid form. If the stain is already dry, you need a degreaser to liquify and lift the stain, then apply CocoAbsorb to absorb it. You may need to do multiple applications depending on how deep the stain is.
Q: Is Coco Absorb an environmentally friendly product?
A: It is! Not only safe for the environment, but safe to use as well. CocoAbsorb is 100% organic with no hazardous chemicals or treatments, safe to be around people and pets. Coco Absorb is certified by UL Environment / EcoLogo, and is part of the USDA Biopreferred program. CocoAbsorb is also a sustainable byproduct of the Coconut foods industry which minimizes its impact on global resources.
Q: Will this absorb water-based chemicals like anti-freeze?
A:CocoAbsorb is effective on oil-based and water-based chemicals in varying viscosities. But it loves oil.
Q: Why should I buy a 12 lb. bag of Coco Absorb for more when I pay less for clay?
A: Don’t let weight throw you off. 12 lbs. of CocoAbsorb can absorb up to 6 gallons of oil. You would need 6 of those 50 lb. bags of clay (300 lbs.) to pick up the same spill. That’s also 300 lbs. of weight added to your disposal costs that you should consider.
