TERRACAP™ 3000/4000 Additive
For Hard Surfaces and Soils
TERRACAP 3000 & 4000 additives are unique absorbents offering advanced solutions to remediate and clean-up
a wide variety of fuel, oil, and other hydrocarbon spills from hard surfaces and soils. Through a novel
microencapsulation process, the hazardous characteristics of the waste such as ignitability,
corrosivity, reactivity and toxicity are quickly eliminated. This two-part solution rapidly desorbs, emulsifies, and
binds spilled materials into a solid, inert, stable residue resistant to water leaching. The resultant silica (sand)
matrix effectively locks the hazardous components into a stable, environmentally-safe residue. The technology is
flexible and can be used to treat a large variety of contaminants ranging from heavy oils and sludges to light fuels
and solvents including:
- Gasoline
|
- Diesel
|
- Motor Oils
|
- Crude Oil
|
- Automotive Fluids
|
- Hydraulic Fluids
|
- Kerosene
|
- Jet Fuel
|
- Paints & Solvents
|
Compared to existing methods, greater savings can be realized in hazardous waste handling and disposal due to the non-hazardous nature of the resulting microencapsulated residue.
A Fast and Effective Two-Step Process
- STEP 1: The TERRACAP 3000 Additive is a non-hazardous liquid formulated with a strong affinity for hydrocarbons and reacts within seconds when applied to a spill.
- STEP 2: The TERRACAP 4000 Additive is also a non-hazardous liquid that is applied as a curing agent immediately following application of TERRACAP 3000 creating a solid residue.
Proven Results
- The hydrocarbon is trapped (microencapsulated) into a solid silica matrix.
- By-products are 40-45% (by volume) solid silica residue and 55-60% water.
- Both the solid residue and the water achieve neutral pH.
- Residue is non-leachable, non-extractable and does not retain any of the encapsulated hydrocarbon characteristics.

Eliminate the Risk of Hazardous Waste Handling with a True On-Site Remediation Solution
The TERRACAP 3000/4000 Additives are superior to solid absorbent solutions such as clay (Fuller’s Earth),
silica, cellulose, corncobs, and polypropylene that require additional handling and add to the volume of hazardous
materials. TERRACAP additives reduce the total amount of solid wastes and treat the hazards at the scene instead of
just mopping it up, packaging it up, and passing on a risk for someone else to deal with. Compared to existing methods,
significant cost savings can be realized and risks reduced in waste handling and disposal due to the non-hazardous
nature of the resulting microencapsulated residue. Depending on the application, TERRACAP 3000/4000 is typically
applied at a ratio of 1:1:1 (3000:4000:Contaminate) on a volume basis.
TERRACAP 3000/4000 Additives can be ordered in 8 ounce, 1 gallon, 5 gallon containers, and 55 gallon plastic drums.
Bulk or volume pricing is also available.
