Aqua N-Cap™ Polymer
Aqua N-Cap™ Polymer is a unique patented super-absorbent technology offering advanced solutions to remediate and clean-up a wide variety of
fuel, oil, and other hydrocarbon spills on water or solid surfaces. The technology is flexible and can be used to treat a large variety of contaminants
ranging from heavy oils to light fuels, chemicals, and solvents including:
- Gasoline
|
- Diesel
|
- Crude Oil
|
- Automotive Fluids
|
- Kerosene
|
- Jet Fuel
|
- Motor Oils
|
- Hydraulic Fluids

EPA NCP Listed
Aqua N-Cap™ Polymer is listed with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the National Oil and Hazardous
Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), Subpart J Product Schedule (40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 300.900)
and may be authorized for use by Federal On-Scene Coordinators and Regional Response Teams in accordance with 40 CFR Section 300.920.

California Approved
Aqua N-Cap™ Polymer can be used for spill response in the waters of California. Government Code (State of California) section 8670.13.1(b) states that sorbents and other cleanup devices that do not employ the use of active chemical cleanup agents, or otherwise determined not to cause aquatic toxicity for purposes of oil spill response, are not subject to the licensing provisions. According to the State of California, review indicates that Aqua N-Cap™ Polymer meets the exemption requirements outlined in this subsection. The Department of Fish and Game, State of California, Office of Spill Prevention and Response has issued an exemption to RTASCo for the Aqua N-Cap™ Polymer as of July 24, 2007.
Fast and Effective Process
Simply broadcast the Aqua N-Cap™ Polymer over the spill area to rapidly absorb and transform the spill into solid clusters,
suitable for easy recovery. Heavier hydrocarbons such as crude oil will form a solid mat.
For Spills or Releases on Concrete; Pooled Spills.
The new replacement for clay absorbents. Aqua N-Cap™ Polymer is non-carcinogenic and takes 75% less product to
absorb a spill than the major leading brand clay absorbent.
Beware of "biodegradable" absorbents! If the absorbent biodegrades, it will free the hydrocarbon back into the
environment. Aqua N-Cap™ Polymer microencapsulated hydrocarbons are non-biodegradable, non-leachable, and non-reactive.
For Spills or Releases on Water
Aqua N-Cap™ Polymer can be used on any body of water and will deliver excellent remediation results resulting in low TPH (typically less
than 10 ppm) in the affected water depending on conditions. Aqua N-Cap™ Polymer is environmentally safe and superior to other
existing technologies in that it:
- Will not absorb water.
- Floats indefinitely before and after use, or until recovered.
- Effectively absorbs more five to ten times its weight depending on the hydrocarbon.
- Will not adhere to shorelines or other materials.
- Non-toxic and non-hazardous.
- Can be recycled or used as a bulk energy source.
Aqua N-Cap™ Polymer requires less product per spill compared to traditional sorbent products. Aqua N-Cap™ Polymer remains afloat while
other products may float for only a limited time. These attributes, combined with rapid, effective spill control performance,
makes Aqua N-Cap™ Polymer extremely cost effective. Depending on the application, Aqua N-Cap™ Polymer is typically applied at a rate of 0.5 - 2
lbs. per gallon of spilled hydrocarbon.
Aqua N-Cap can be ordered in 2 lb., 3.5 lb. shaker bottle, 10 lb., and 30 lb. packages as well as 650 lb. Gaylords. Bulk or volume pricing is also available.
