Gran-sorb all-purpose loose granular cellulose absorbent is clean, safe, effective, highly absorbent, and environmentally responsible.

Gran-sorb granules absorb oils, solvents, lubricants, coolants, water, and most non-aggressive liquids on contact. Because Gran-sorb is made using waste material from select paper mills, it is safe for the environment and can be used on almost all types of spills and clean ups.
