Company Overview

Superabsorbent polymers are widely used to solidify a wide variety of aqueous waste waters and sludge.  Our Waste Lock® brand Superabsorbent Polymer products are widely known in the environmental remediation industry to treat many types of aqueous wastes.  The advantage of these water-swellable super absorbent polymers is that they can absorb many times their weight in water with nominal or negligible increase in waste volume or weight.

Waste streams that benefit from the Waste Lock® Super Absorbent Polymer technology includes:

• Low Level Radioactive Waste (LLRW)
• Metal Plating Waste
• 
  Superfund and FUSRAP Site Wastes
• Nuclear Power Plant Waste
• Sludge with Heavy Metals (Hexavalent Chromium, Lead, Mercury, etc...)
• Medical Waste & Bodily Fluids
• Unused Latex Paint Waste
• Drill Cutting Waste

Our range of products includes:

• Aqueous Waste Absorbents (Waste Lock® Products)
• Oil / Hydrocarbon Sorbents
• Heavy Metal & Mercury Removal Treatments
• PCB Removal Treatments
• Molecular Bonding System™ (MBS) a patented fixative for all RCRA Heavy Metals

Waste Lock® 770

Waste Lock® 770 is a solid, granular Superabsorbent Polymer.  This cross-linked polyacrylate material swells and absorbs many times its weight in aqueous solutions.  Waste Lock® 770 has been engineered to absorb under pressure and has  properties that make it ideally suited for the absorption and solidification of low level radioactive waste (LLRW) and other types of waste sludges.

Product Attributes:

• Reduces Waste Disposal Costs – Expands in Volume by Less Than 1%.
• Non-Biodegradable Polymer (40 CFR 264.314 (e)(ii))
• Polycarboxylate Polymer Will Not Release Trapped Ionic Contaminants If Solute Evaporation Occurs.
• Strong Ion Exchange Capability Allows For Heavy Metal Binding And For Many Solidified Wastes To Pass TCLP.
• When Used Properly, Waste Sludges Will Pass Paint Filter Test (EPA 9095).
• Polymer is Duratek Approved for Incineration.
• Freeze-Thaw Tested.  The Polymer Will Not Release Free Liquids.
• Polymer Will Excellently Absorb Aqueous Wastes of pH > 4.  For Highly Acidic Wastes, Neutralization (pH Adjustment) Is Recommended.
• Approved Sorbent at Hanford (WA) & WIPP (TRUCON Codes)

Typical Absorptive Properties:

• Free Swell in DI Water: 400 - 500 X
• Free Swell in 1 % NaCl: 45 - 55 X
• Free Swell in 2 % NaCl: 35 - 40 X
• Free Swell in 10 % NaCl: 19 - 25 X
• Free Swell in 1 % CaCl2: 20 - 25 X
• Free Swell in 8N NaOH: 24 - 30 X

Liquid Release Test (EPA 9096):

Waste Lock® 770 has the ability to both absorb under pressure and to retain absorbed liquids at high pressures:

• At 25X Hydration, PASSES at 50 psi
• At 10X Hydration, PASSES at 75 psi
• Bulk Density = 5.4 to 6.0 lbs/gallon
