Universal Cellulose Sorbent | MIN 5 Bags

Gran-Sorb® All-Purpose Cellulose Granular Absorbent (30 lb Bag)

Gran-Sorb® is a premium, lightweight, cellulose-based granular absorbent engineered for the rapid cleanup of oils, fuels, lubricants, coolants, solvents, water, and non-aggressive industrial liquids.

Manufactured from 100% recycled cellulose fibers, Gran-Sorb® provides a superior, eco-friendly alternative to heavy, dusty traditional clay floor absorbents. Its lightweight media is incredibly easy to spread, work into a spill, and sweep up. Designed for manufacturing plants, maintenance shops, and fleet facilities, Gran-Sorb® delivers clean, efficient everyday spill control without the abrasive wear and heavy lifting associated with conventional mineral absorbents.

Key Advantages

• All-Purpose Absorption: Instantly soaks up oils, fuels, lubricants, coolants, solvents, water, and most non-aggressive liquids.
• Eco-Friendly Cellulose Media: Manufactured entirely from recycled fiber, avoiding the environmental impact of mined clay or minerals.
• Lightweight & Ergonomic: Significantly easier to transport, spread, collect, and manage than heavy traditional clay granules.
• Non-Abrasive & Non-Scouring: Safe to use on sealed or epoxy floors; protects equipment and finished surfaces from scratches during cleanup.
• Low-Dust Formula: Keeps the air cleaner in shops, plants, warehouses, and maintenance environments.
• Wind & Fire Resistant: Heavy enough for controlled outdoor cleanup without blowing away, while remaining fire-resistant and non-conductive for safe industrial handling.

Ideal Applications

• Manufacturing & Maintenance: Routine cleanup of machine oils, lubricants, coolants, and process-fluid leaks.
• Warehouses & Facilities: General-purpose floor absorbent for loading docks, storage areas, and emergency spill stations.
• Transportation & Fleet: Ideal for service bays, fueling areas, transit terminals, and loading operations.
• Industrial & Municipal: Versatile loose absorbent for public works facilities, municipal garages, and fast-response cleanup crews.
• Outdoor Spill Response: Wind-resistant granular media suited for paved work areas and exterior concrete.

3. Absorb: Allow the granular media time to contact and absorb the liquid.
4. Agitate: Work the absorbent into the spill using a stiff broom as needed for complete pickup.
5. Collect: Sweep the saturated material into a pile and collect it into an appropriate waste container.
6. Dispose: Dispose of used absorbent strictly according to local, state, and federal requirements for the specific liquid that was absorbed.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What liquids can Gran-Sorb absorb?

Gran-Sorb is an all-purpose absorbent designed for oils, fuels, lubricants, coolants, solvents, water, and many other non-aggressive industrial liquids.

• How much liquid does one bag absorb?

A single 30 lb bag provides up to approximately 4 gallons of absorption capacity. Actual performance varies with the specific liquid and application conditions.

• What is Gran-Sorb made from?

It is manufactured from recycled cellulose fiber, providing a lightweight, highly absorbent alternative to conventional clay and mineral floor absorbents.

• Is Gran-Sorb the same as an oil-only absorbent?

No. Gran-Sorb is a universal, all-purpose absorbent that picks up both petroleum-based and water-based liquids. If you need oil selectivity with limited water uptake (e.g., for skimming oil off water), consider an oil-only absorbent like Sphag-Sorb®.

• Can used Gran-Sorb be disposed of in a standard landfill?

Disposal requirements depend entirely on the liquid or contaminant you absorbed. Always follow applicable local, state, and federal waste-disposal regulations for the absorbed chemical.

• Is Gran-Sorb suitable for outdoor cleanup?

Yes. Its unique granular characteristics make it wind-resistant and highly useful for controlled outdoor spill-cleanup applications. Ensure you contain the spill source and prevent any contaminated material from entering storm drains or waterways.
