The trade secret formula combining waste tire powder and polypropylene fiber cut end has been the subject of international scientific research which conclusively confirms the efficacy of the VRT product while costing a fraction of its closest commercial competitor. The abstract to this study states that, “This composite can be used repeatedly for a least 100 times. Thus, the material cost for recovering one ton of spilled oil is [significantly less than any other known solution], making it very competitive in the market.” - * Email ñ Top of the page ñ |
