Ultra-X-Tex

X-Tex removes oil and other hydrocarbons much faster than traditional absorbents. A polypropylene sorbent material will not allow water to freely pass through it. Oil will absorb at the surface of a polypropylene absorbent, and the polypropylene will eventually blind over and the center will not absorb any oil.

Is it though? When you simply compare the cost per foot (or inch), then yes, it is cheaper. But when you take a closer look and consider how much more X-Tex absorbs, you will quickly see that not only is X-Tex the better choice from a performance standpoint but it is also the better choice from a cost standpoint. Take a look at this example.

Far from it. X-Tex has been in use in industrial and stormwater applications for more than ten years.

Yes, it can be easily cut using a large pair of scissors and sewn on with a heavy-duty/industrial sewing machine.

Yes, approximately 85-90 % of sorbed oils can be reclaimed from Ultra-X-Tex and the media reused, through a press or centrifuge.

Ultra-X-Tex is environmentally benign and user-friendly. It does not leach harmful substances into the environment and when incinerated produces minimal residue or ash.

The flow rate for X-Tex is 151 gal/ft2/min. or 6152 l/m2/min.).
