Oil Spill Dispersant
KEMEX OSD 1101 OIL SPILL DISPERSANT TYPE III ( Water Based Product ):-
Dispersants are chemicals that are applied directly to an oil slick. The key components of chemicals dispersants
are surface active agents called Surfactants. KEMEX OSD 1101 assists with breaking up the slick into small
droplets ranging in size a few micrometers to few millimeters.
Chemical dispersants can do this because they contain molecules that are both water compatible and oil compatible.
The molecules align themselves around the oil droplets break away from the slick. The Action prevents the
coalescence ( reforming or joining ) of oil droplets. So, the oil can no longer form slick on water surface, and it
reduces the adherence of the oil to solid particles ( sand ) and hard surfaces ( sea walls & boat hulls )Chemical dispersants remove the oil from the surface of the water and into the water column. Once in the water
column, the oil is diluted to less harmful levels, and eventually is used as a food by bacteria. By removing the oil
from the water surface, birds, marine mammals and sensitive coast is protected.
With the break up of the oil into water wetted droplets, the continuity of the fire is disrupted and it also stops any
further spread of oil fire. The mixture of KEMEX OSD and water is non flammable and non hazardous.
KEMEX OSD is free from Paraffinic Solvents / Polvaromatic and Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Chlorinated
Hydrocarbons, Heavy Metals, Benzene, Phenols, Caustic Alkali and free Mineral Acid.
KEMEX OSD 1101 is duly tested by National Institute of Oceanography ( NIO, Goa )
KEMEX OSD 1101 is Type III Water base diutable concentrate which is non corrosive, non hydrocarbon,
completely bio-degradable and practically non toxic in dilute form and slight toxic in concentrate form. It mixes
well in sea and fresh water where maximum efficiency achieved
at 1 : 10 DOR ( Dispersant to Oil Ratio ) in fresh
and sea water and in concentrate as well as in dilute form.
KEMEX OSD 1101 is more efficient and stable in Diluted form indicating that DILUTION
( in Portable Water )
1 : 10 ( 1 part of Concentrate & 10 parts of Portable Water ) does not make it less effective & dilutable
concentrate increases the effective spraying time, So KEMEX OSD 1101 is highly COST EFFECTIVE.
