Re-Form: Eco-Friendly Sorbents
Saving the environment is a worthy goal. Saving a little money at the same time makes it a double play. With the new SPC eco-friendly family of high-performance sorbent products – the next generation of sorbents – IBT offers a sure winner.

SPC sorbent products, Re-Form and Re-Form Plus, are green to produce and green in use. The maker claims that they are 50 percent more absorbent than similar products.

Re-Form: Eco-Friendly Sorbents
The production process used for Re-Form sorbent material takes less away from the environment. Re-Form sorbents are made from a minimum of 70 percent recycled newsprint and other cellulose, unlike more traditional oil-based polypropylene sorbents. The increased absorbency rate of Re-Form means you’ll have less sorbent material to dispose of.

Re-Form also puts some green in your pocket because they are are less expensive than oil-based polypropylene sorbents. As a result, the manufacturer guarantees stable pricing* on these sorbent products because the price of Re-Form is not impacted by volatile oil prices.

Re-Form: Class A Fire Retardant
You won’t sacrifice fire safety when using Re-Form sorbents. Both Re-Form and Re-Form Plus sorbent materials meet NFPA Class A Fire retardancy standards.

The unique construction of Re-Form offers superior absorbency. In fact, Re-Form sorbents have been tested to be up to 25-50 percent more absorbent than oil-based polypropylene sorbents, so you’ll use less product to get the job done. Less waste makes this sorbent both green and lean!

Re-Form Sorbent Material
Re-Form material’s unique composition gives users an environmentally friendly sorbent that absorbs up to 50 percent more than traditional meltblown polypropylene sorbents.

  • For basic drips and spills
  • Netted construction means extra durability
  • Indoor use or dry-weather outdoor use
  • General purpose sorbent (not for use with highly aggressive acids and caustics)

Re-Form Plus Sorbent Material
Re-Form Plus material has the same absorbency performance as Re-Form material, but adds a spunbond coverstock which makes it ideal for handling foot traffic and wiping applications.

  • For drips, spills and wiping applications
  • Spunbond coverstock for additional durability
  • Perforated – use only what you need
  • Indoor use or dry-weather outdoor use
  • General purpose sorbent (not for use with highly aggressive acids and caustics)
