Mandatory for many air shipments of glass bottles and UPS package requirements. Grade 4 vermiculite is available in 4 cubic-foot bags. Used as an absorbent when the potential for leakage exists. IATA, UPS and FedEx require absorbent material for all hazardous liquids in glass bottles. For estimating purposes, one bag should be used to absorb 3-4 gallons of liquid. Absorption ratio may vary for different liquids. Vermiculite is an excellent and economical solution to cushion your hazardous liquid containers and absorbs shock that occurs during transport.

It is manufactured from recycled cellulose fiber and is non-selective (universal) in what it absorbs. It is a non-carcinogenic, low-dust alternative to clay and vermiculite. Please note: K-SORB may react with some class 8 (corrosive) and class 5.1 (oxidizer) materials. It is the responsibility of the user to determine the compatibility of this product.
