Quik-Solid® is a solid, granular cross-linked polyacrylate Advanced Superabsorbent Media that rapidly absorbs and retains large volumes of aqueous solutions. The absorptive properties of Quik-Solid® are ideally suited for the absorption and solidification of radioactive and other types of waste waters.

Quik-Solid^® Absorbent Sheets
Quik-Solid Absorbent Sheets are a high-performing yet lower cost alternative to other absorbent fabric products that are used in the hazardous waste or nuclear waste disposal industry.

Quik-Solid Absorbent sheets are made with polyester fabric layers bonded together with a special polyolefin adhesive. The Quik-Solid granular absorbent polymer is imbedded between the layers of fabric and the entire laminate structure is made of non-biodegradable materials.

Features:

• Quik-Solid Absorbent Sheets absorb and retain up to 145 times their own weight in aqueous liquids.
• Quik-Solid Absorbent Sheets are about 1/3 the thickness of conventional absorbent fabrics that are used in the nuclear remediation industry (0.04 cm vs. 0.11 cm). They take up less volume in a container yet still deliver superior absorbency. SAVES SHIPPING & DISPOSAL COSTS!!!!
• All materials are non-biodegradable.
• Freeze-thaw tested: Quik Solid will not release liquids after freezing and subsequently heating to 160° F.
• Quik-Solid Absorbent Sheets absorb and retain large volumes of condensate and free aqueous liquids in radwaste and hazardous waste containers. Helps to retard the corrosion of metal containers.
• Quik-Solid granular absorbent polymer is approved for use at several DOD and DOE facilities.
• Quik-Solid Absorbent Sheets are available in Rolls (4’ X 500’), B-25 Pads (46” X 72”) & Drum Lid Pads (22” Diameter).
