UltraTech’s Ultra-Filter-Tex boasts a diverse range of applications in stormwater management and clean-up endeavors. Comprised of a proprietary blend of fibres, it is treated to naturally absorb oils and greases from water, while facilitating the unimpeded flow of water through the material. It effectively retains oils and greases without reintroducing them into the water.
Ultra-Filter-Tex material serves as an outstanding asset in oil spill clean-up efforts. Its rolled fabric design distinguishes it from polypropylene by allowing water to swiftly filter through while selectively extracting oil, owing to its hydrophilic properties. In contrast, polypropylene’s water-repellent nature may delay the absorption of oil, particularly in surf environments where oil is dispersed rather than forming a surface sheen.
Product Code | Description | Length (mm) | Width (mm) | Absorption Capacity (L) | Weight (kg) |
CHU9310 | Filter Tex, 406 gsm Grey | 76200 | 1500 | 6.70 L/ per m2 | 57 |
CHU9314 | Filter Tex, 406 gsm Grey | 76200 | 800 | 6.70 L/ per m2 | 29 |
Ultra-Filter-Tex outperforms traditional absorbents by swiftly removing oil and hydrocarbons. Unlike polypropylene, it allows unhindered water flow, preventing blinding over time.
When you directly compare the cost per metre indeed, Ultra-Filter-Tex appears more economical. However, upon closer examination, considering its significantly greater absorption capacity, you’ll recognize that Ultra-Filter-Tex not only outperforms other options but also proves more cost-effective.
Ultra-Filter-Tex material is specifically engineered for absorbing hydrocarbons and does not absorb synthetic substances.
Indeed, around 85-90% of the oils absorbed by Ultra-Filter-Tex can be reclaimed, allowing for the reuse of the material. This process typically involves the use of a press or centrifuge.
Ultra-Filter-Tex is environmentally friendly and user-safe. It does not release harmful substances into the environment, and when incinerated, it produces minimal residue or ash.
The flow rate for Ultra-Filter-Tex is approximately 6152 l/m2/min.
