Need to try and source small quantity of [url= http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/oil-spill-absorbing-polymer ]Envirobond Polymer 403 [/url]- used dealing with oil spills and removing oil from water. Can't find a UK supplier of it though.

Is there a product that contains the polymer - I've found a few booms and other products for oil spills but not anything that says what the active contents are

Or is there another product that acts in the same way ? Or another name for the same product?

Get to the barber's(se's'se's) for bags of hair.

Excellent at adsorbing oil, from what I remember.

nedrapier - I find a new shirt is the most effective oil collector in nature, esp if used just before something important (wedding, interview)

OP, buy some posh bespoke shirts & go for a swim
