Recycled fabric allows water to instantly filter through while pulling off oil. Ultra-Filter-Tex® material, a long-time staple in our stormwater management product line is an exceptional tool for oil spill cleanup. The rolled fabric is different than polypropylene in that it allows water to instantly filter through the material and pulls off the oil selectively as the material is hydrophilic. Polypropylene repels the water and this can make it take longer for the oil to be readily absorbed in a surf environment where the oil is no longer a surface sheen, rather it is being broken up in the surf.
