OilFree
Pads
OilFree has the most technically advanced and
efficient products for immobilizing oil available
anywhere. All products are infused with patented
OilFree technology and are designed for specific
oil remediation tasks. Every cleanup task from
sheen to tarballs can be quickly and efficiently
addressed using OilFree products. The use of these
products will maximize response effectiveness,
while drastically reducing material usage, water
drag-out, waste generation and ultimately, environmental
damage. mm

OilFree VersaMat
 |
OilFree
VersaMat
The OilFree VersaMat is used for light to medium
oils. The large surface-contact area distinguishes
it from other standard sweep or boom products. The
contact area, covering 45.8 square feet and weighing
only 2.8 pounds, offers the largest square footage
per pound of any product available and has an oil
capacity of up to120 lbs. |
Benefits
- VersaMat instantly attaches to oil
- Prevents weathering and separation on contact
- VersaMat is triboelectrically inactive and
will not generate static charge
- Environmentally safe
- Minimizes waste generation
- Easily incineratable

The OilFree VersaMat is
a 55 inch wide, 10 foot long specially treated interconnectable
mat designed for rapid sorption of large amounts
of spilled oil. Its 45.8 square foot contact area
and weight of only 2.8 pounds gives the VersaMat
the most area per pound of any product available
and allows it to immediately absorb much more effectively
than standard sweep/boom products. The 55 inch width
of the VersaMat allows it to be effective in water
currents as fast as 9 feet per second.
|
| Usage Directions
1. Connect multiple 10 ft. sections together
to span the area by overlapping the ends and connecting
the snap hooks provided to the grommet holes at
each end
2. Use as a boom or a sweep for bulk absorption
of oil
3. Place or drag OilFree VersaMat over contaminated
surfaces
4. Allow oil to absorb into the VersaMat
5. Remove and replace VersaMat when it is fully
saturated |
Sweep Method
Anchor one end of the VersaMat and with the other
end sweep across the contaminated water surface
to remove oil deposits
Boat Deployment
1. Attach one end of VersaMat to a stationary point
on land, buoy, or other boat
2. Attach free end of VersaMat to another boat
3. Allow VersaMat to span the distance between the
two boats
|
Cleaning Rivers
and Streams
1. Deploy across the body of water by anchoring
each end of the VersaMat on the shore.
2. Allow contaminated water to pass under the VersaMat
3. Remove and replace the VersaMat when it has become
saturated with oil
|
OilFree Chips
 |
OilFree
Chips
OilFree Chips can be applied directly to thicken
light oils and enhance the effectiveness of skimmers.
These specially treated wood fibers function as
rheology modifiers, causing oil to become more cohesive.
The wood fibers can also solidify heavy oils into
a solid, buoyant mass.
|
Benefits
- Instantly renders oil more cohesive and hydrophobic
- Enhances buoyancy of heavy oils
- Reduces water dragout
- Prevents weathering and separation on contact
- Enhances the efficiency of oil skimmers by
500%
- OilFree Chips are trioelectrically inactive
and will not generate static charge
- Environmentally safe
|
Usage
Directions
Light Oil Thickening
1. Shovel 0.1 - 0.5% by weight to light oils to
thicken oil and enhance skimmer efficiency up
to 500%
2. Use skimmer or vacuum pump to remove oil
Heavy Oil Removal
1. Shovel 1 - 10% by weight on heavy oils to yield
a buoyant solid mass
2. Rake or shovel solidified oil from the water
surface
|
Thickening Oil to Prevent
Entrainment
1. Shovel 0.1 - 0.5% by weight of OilFree Chips
to oil at the boom site to prevent the oil from
jumping over or going under the oil containment
booms
2. Heavy seas only increase the effectiveness of
the OilFree Chips product
First Response - Containing Oil
Spills with a Minimum of Product
1. Spread OilFree Chips along the leading edge of
the oil spill to slow its advance across the water
2. The OilFree Chips will thicken the leading edge
of the spill even if only a minimum of product is
used, allowing more time for spill responders to
react. Again, heavy seas only increase the effectiveness
of the OilFree Chips.

OilFree SheenClean
 |
OilFree
SheenClean
OilFree SheenClean is a super buoyant oil-and-sheen
boom designed specifically for the removal of
sheen from water. It has five times the surface
area of conventional booms, with only one-tenth
the weight. Its high buoyancy and inability to
absorb water, its maximum exposure to surface
films eliminate water drag-out reducing waste
disposal costs.
The OilFree SheenClean has been designed to remove
and contain oil sheen from all water surfaces.
Its super buoyant material design allows it to
perpetually reside on top of the water where sheen
forms, and its patented coating allows it to stay
effective forever and never get wet. OilFree SheenClean
is the lightest sheen and oil scavenger (only
1 lb. Per 10 feet) which delivers the greatest
effective contact area and permits easy deployment,
retrieval and versatility.
|
Benefits
- Instantly attaches to oil
- Virtually zero water dragout reducing waste
generation
- Prevents weathering and separation on contact
- Oilfree SheenClean triboelectrically inactive
and will not generate static charge
- Environmentally safe
|
Usage
Directions
Cleaning Rivers and Streams
1. Connect multiple 10 foot sections together
to span the area by overlapping the ends and connecting
the snap hooks provided to the grommet holes at
each end
2. Deploy across the body of water by anchoring
the OilFree SheenClean at each end of the shore
3. Allow contaminated water to pass under the
OilFree SheenClean
4. Remove and replace the OilFree SheenClean when
it has become saturated with oil
|
Cleaning Marsh/Wetlands
OilFree SheenClean is very light and can easily
be used to manually drag across contaminated shallow
water areas by two spill responders to remove sheen
and surface films.
Spill Response Vehicles
OilFree SheenClean can be deployed behind boats
that have been involved in spill cleanup that
have their hulls contaminated with oil to protect
harbor areas as they return for decontamination.

OilFree VersaPad
 |
VersaPad
The OilFree VersaPad is used for bulk sorption of
light to medium oils. It prevents weathering and
separation on contact and is able to remove up to
one-half pound of oil on surface areas up to 18
square feet.
Finally, the VersPad can be used for oil remediation
in water or on land. Its design protects surfaces
beneath the pad by absorbing oil without letting
it pass through. Each is capable of removing over
two pounds of oil and prevents weathering and separation
on contact. |
Benefits
- Use of fewer pads reduces material usage
- Reduced waste generation
- Prevents weathering and separation on contact
- OilFree VersaPad is triboelectrically inactive
and will not generate static charge
- Environmentally safe
|
Usage Directions
1. Place OilFree VersaPad over contaminated area
If desired, VersaPad can be unfolded to cover
large areas on tanks and in calm weather conditions.
2. Allow oil to absorb into VersaPad
3. Remove and replace VersaPad when fully saturated
Tank Cleaning, Light Oil Films, and Spotty
Water
1. Unfold VersaPad the required amount to totally
cover the tank surface
2. Lay VersaPad on top of oily water
3. The oil absorbs immediately. Lift oil soaked
pad from surface
|
Bulk Light and Medium Sorption
1. For bulk absorption of oil leave the VersaPad
folded for maximum absorption
2. Allow oil to fully saturate pad
3. Remove pad and replace if required
Land Applications
1. Place under and around dripping machinery to
catch oil leakage
2. Unfold pads once or twice to form a strip that
can be used to fold around corners
