New Packaging for Granular Absorbents

Granular Absorbents Optisorb and Solid-A-SorbOptisorb & Solid-A-Sorb

Granular Absorbents are a traditional industrial absorbent material. Granular or loose absorbents typically consist of small granules or particles that are bulk packaged inside a bag.

EnviroMet is pleased to announce that a couple of changes in packaging have taken place for our two most popular Granular Absorbents, Optisorb and Solid-A-Sorb. Optisorb is now available in a 25 pound bag rather than a 33.3 pound bag. This new bag size is easier to handle and reduces the risk of lifting injury. Selectsorb is now called Solid-A-Sorb.
