A small product with big impact

Convert liquid spills into nonhazardous, disposable solids with this one-of-a-kind absorbent. 

At this year’s Equip Expo in Louisville, Kentucky, B3C Fuel Solutions showcased Spill Absorber Max, a lightweight, ultra-concentrated absorbent that converts nearly any liquid spill into a solid you can safely throw away. In the demonstration, they began by pouring out a mix of fluids, including oil, antifreeze and water, right onto the demo table. Instead of hauling heavy clay absorbent or scrubbing the spill into a past, they simply sprinkled a few ounces of Spill Absorber Max across the mess. 

Within seconds, the liquid turned into a rubbery solid. No stirring. No sweeping sludge. No residue. And no heavy bags to dispose of later. 

According to B3C Fuel Solutions, Spill Absorber Max uses a patented super-absorbent formula that: 

  • Absorbs up to 9x its weight in oils, fuels and solvents 
  • Absorbs up to 70x its weight in water-based liquids like antifreeze, paint and event pet-related spills 
  • Converts liquids into a non-leaching, non-hazardous solid 
  • Requires no mechanical mixing, just sprinkle and let it work 
  • Permanently encapsulates hydrocarbons and keeps them from leaching out in landfills 

A single 1.1-pound bucket of Spill Absorber Max does the work of a 50-pound bag of clay. 

A cleaner, faster, safer method 

1 – It eliminates the muddy mess problem. Traditional absorbents often create a slurry that spreads the spill instead of containing it. Spill Absorber Max bonds with the liquid and turns it into a rubber-like solid that’s easy to pick up. 

2 – It reduces disposal headaches. Because the final material is non-hazardous and passes both federal TCLP and EPA Filter Liquids testing, disposal becomes dramatically simpler. 

3 – It works on mixed spills. Most products struggle when you combine liquids. Spill Absorber Max handled everything in the same bowl without slowing down. 

If your team runs engines, equipment, mowers, trucks, sprayers or hydraulic systems, you deal with spills. And spills slow everything down. With Spill Absorber Max, you can save time, stay compliant and keep your environment cleaner and safer.
