Cansorb Works Naturally
Nature has given unique properties and ingredients to our Sphagnum Peat Moss. In it's natural state the fibre contains 40%-60% water, however this fibre has the ability to absorb 20%-40% more water and will do so on contact due to its pourous nature. When Cansorb is dehydrated (activated) to 10%-12% MC a wax (bitumen) is released to the surface from deep in the pores. This wax coats the outside of the fibre, resulting in the fibre resisting water within and allowing hydrocarbon absorption.

Compressed Bales (CB) Cansorb offers some of the greatest value in the industry with our compressed products. Compressed at approx. 1.5 : 1 ratio this allows us to provide value without compromising the quality of the compressed fibre. The bales can easily be broken down into our disbursement barrels. PRODUCTS CS-CB 18 PACKAGING 2 CU. FT. COMPRESSED BALE/18 LBS. YIELD 3 CU. FT./85 L ABSORPTION APPROX. 20 GAL Loose Filled Bags (LFB) This product is packaged for easy deployment. This ease combined with the compact size allows for one time use and storage in situations where space is limited and larger barrels and bales are prohibitive.
