Oil Gobbler™ Absorbent
A natural absorbent powder that rapidly absorbs and biodegrades oil, diesel, petrol, and hydrocarbon spills.
Product Details
Oil Gobbler™ Absorbent is a completely natural, eco-friendly, bio-enzyme absorbent powder engineered for rapid and total cleanup of hydrocarbon spills. Its high-porosity crystalline structure acts like a super-absorbent sponge, quickly soaking up oils, diesel, petrol, paraffin, and other nuisance liquids from both land and water.
Unlike ordinary absorbents or air fresheners that only mask odours, this formulation uses desiccating and cationic properties to eliminate odours permanently. The powder simultaneously absorbs and remediates spills through a potent blend of enzyme-producing bacteria that degrade hydrocarbons into carbon dioxide and water. These microbes are cultivated from South African soils, giving them strong resilience, faster metabolism, and superior breakdown performance.
Oil Gobbler™ Absorbent is non-toxic, safe for animals, eco-friendly, and ideal for both emergency spill response and routine maintenance.
Recommended Uses
Ideal for absorbing and remediating spills in:
Harbours, beaches, coastal zones, rivers, and dams
Petrol stations, diesel bays, forecourts, and service stations
Parking garages, drive-throughs, warehouses, and workshops
Airports, road accident scenes, transport depots, bus yards
Farms, agricultural sites, livestock areas, and poultry houses
Industrial facilities, factories, machine bays, and refineries
Public areas where spills pose slip risks (malls, public bathrooms, walkways)
Carpet and upholstery cleanup (organic matter, pet accidents, odour control)
Septic tank overflows, sewer spills, and emergency sanitation cleanup
Braai/cooking oil spills at events, restaurants, or lodges
Suitable for both land and water spill response.
Directions of Use
For water spills
Scatter a moderate amount of Oil Gobbler™ Absorbent onto the floating oil.
Allow it to coagulate into a contained oil–powder mass.
The coagulated mass may sink; retrieve and collect for disposal/remediation.
Alternatively, apply to sections of the spill and contain before sinking.
For spills on solid surfaces
Scatter a generous layer directly onto the spill.
Allow the powder to begin absorbing the liquid.
Sweep back and forth to increase surface contact.
If absorption slows, apply a second layer.
Continue until fully absorbed and contained.
Sweep or vacuum up the material for collection.
Remediating collected powder
After collection, remediate using Oil Spill Gobbler™ Powder to fully biodegrade hydrocarbons.
Material can be remediated onsite, reducing transport costs and environmental footprint.
