Sorbents
Hydrophobic floating sorbents or universal sorbents, whether loose or in the form of pads or booms for instance, are solid products capable of trapping liquid pollutants such as oil or chemicals.
Standardised tests
Aims
Evaluate universal or floating hydrophobic sorbents under standard conditions to determine their:
Sorption capacity
Hydrophobic capacity •
Solidity

Oil
Duration
Depends on protocol
Standards
Protocol based on standards:
- AFNOR NF T 90-360
- AFNOR NF T 90-361
Custom tests
Aims
Test sorbents based on custom protocols representative of specific conditions of use (product, environment, etc.) in a controlled environment and under reproducible conditions, using test benches and protocols specifically designed to meet the clients’ needs.
Support manufacturers in the design of new sorbent products
