Ampho-Mag Hazardous Spill Sorbent - Use on any hazardous liquid spill
Neutralizes & Adsorbs Acids and Bases
Ampho-Mag vs. other chemicals

Conventional materials like lime and soda ash have been used for years and are cheaper per pound - but they are not as effective as specialty reagents chosen for their neutralization power (Ampho-Mag™ reduces usage by typically 30% and sometime much more).  Furthermore, some conventional materials are better on acids and some are better on bases.  During an emergency response it is difficult to determine if you need sodium bisulfate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, calcium carbonate or another product.  Ampho-Mag™’s goal is to reduce the response time necessary for an environmental solution to be put into place.  Ampho-Mag™ can be used on acids, bases, solvents, organic and inorganic solutions.  It adsorbs liquids, controls odors and neutralizes gases.

The choice becomes even more clear when you compare Ampho-Mag™ with specialty chemicals like Spill-X®.  The use of Spill-X® demands you keep several different types on hand to handle spills - you would need one product for acids, one for caustics, one for solvents and others.  Again, Ampho-Mag™ is a universal solution that simplifies response – it offers the ability to stock a single reagent to handle spills.

In addition, Ampho-Mag™ is a cheaper solution.  If you average the three Spill-X® chemicals necessary for acids, bases and solvents, Ampho-Mag™ is typically 30-60% cheaper per pound.  And please note that a popular Ampho-Mag™ packaging is the 3 lb. shaker bottles (not competitor bottles ranging 1.0 to 2.5 lbs. each).

 Ampho-Mag can also be purchased in 50 lb. totes and 50 lb. bags.  Pricing on larger quantities easily beats any other specialty spill reagent and approaches the cost of common conventional materials.  This seems to be the preferred packaging for spill response personnel and the price allows Ampho-Mag™ to be easily utilized in larger quantities.
