How Sphag Sorb Compares with Other Absorbents
Lower moisture, higher quality makes Sphag Sorb superior to other absorbents. Compared with clay, Sphag Sorb is:
- 10 times more absorbent
- lightweight
- non-leaching
- safe and non-toxic, contains no silica
- more suited for landfilling and incineratiom
Although more effective than clay, compared with Sphag Sorb, the following absorbents:
- Diatomaceous Earth
- Alumina Silicate
- Corn
- Cellulose
- Polypropylene
- Polymers
All offer lower absorbency, leach at lower ratios and have more limited disposal options.
