Adsorbent or Absorbent, what sets them apart? Though their names may sound alike, their functions could not be more different.
Imagine you're tackling an oil spill. If you opt for an adsorbent material like certain types of clay, the oil merely adheres to the surface of the material, leaving it slick. Unfortunately, this method tends to require excessive product usage, translating to wasted time and money.
On the flip side, consider using an absorbent material, such as QuiKleen Absorbent. This product not only soaks up the oil but encapsulates it, making cleanup swift and efficient. This encapsulation process ensures minimal product usage while leaving surfaces dry, safe and ready for use in a snap.
While both adsorbents and absorbents tackle spills, the methods of action - surface adhesion vs. full absorption - makes all the difference in efficiency and effectiveness.
