Meltblown Technologies

Meltblown Technologies (MBT), based in Sandersville, Georgia, makes polypropylene sorbents for oil and chemical spills: pads, rolls, socks, pillows and booms, plus spill kits that pack them with gloves, goggles and disposal bags. MBT forms its sorbent on its own meltblowing line and bonds, perforates and cuts it there; its socks, booms and pillows are filled with reprocessed material.

MBT sorts its sorbents into three chemistries. Universal (gray) sorbent takes oil, water, coolant and most non-aggressive chemicals. Oil-only sorbent takes fuel, oil and hydraulic fluid and floats on water, for fuel spills and outdoor work. HazMat sorbent is for acids, bases, aggressive solvents and unknowns. Which chemistry and what size a site or a truck needs: the spill kit selection guide. For facilities under an SPCC plan, sorbent materials are one of the containment methods the rule itself names (EPA SPCC, 40 CFR 112.7(c)). Shop spill kits.
