Cork Absorption Mechanism
The cork cells suck the oil by capillarity and retain it efficiently.
The special cork used in the EcoSorb products is pre-selected and heat treated (NO ADDITIVES) in order to have the best performance to sorb hydrocarbons, oils and organic compounds. In these conditions cork has a strong affinity with hydrocarbons and the sorbent effect is instantaneous. The cork cells suck the oil by capillarity and retain it efficiently.
