Standard meltblown polypropylene rolls are generally unrolled on the shoreline to prevent soil contamination from spilled hydrocarbons. They can also be deployed on open water to capture long stretches of oil sheen. The open fiber construction of these oil spill rolls quickly draws oil into the web, absorbing up to 15X their own weight. These products are generally used in conjunction with absorbent booms and oil spill pads. Standard meltblown can also be used for cleaning spilled oil and grease in manufacturing facilities.
