Thrills And Spills - Swell Time For Absorbent Minerals

Absorbent minerals have a valuable role in improving the environments in which we live, work and play. Their natural ability to retain fluids of all types while remaining inert, and to do so at a low cost, makes them the favourite product over synthetic, organic or inorganic products in many industrial and environmental applications. Spillage control is a traditional but solid market for mineral absorbents; soil amendment is a market expected to have a promising future; and the applications for minerals in landfill sealing are diversifying, as increased recycling slows growth in this sector.
