Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention relates to a method for adsorbing and/or absorbing oil, by bringing oil into contact with a polyurethane sponge with excellent mechanical properties.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for absorbing hydrophobic liquids comprising oil on the surface of an oil-contaminated body of water, comprising contacting the hydrophobic liquid on the surface of the body of water with a polyurethane sponge with a density from 70 to 300 g/dm 3 , with from 1 to 20 cells/cm, with a rebound resilience greater than 30%, with an elongation at break greater than 200%, with a tear propagation resistance greater than 1.2 N/mm, with a compressive str…
