Absorption strength of more than 10 times its weight

TAFNEL Needle Punch Fabric "BL-65" has the absorption strength of more than 10 times its weight for mineral, animal, and vegetable oils. If the absorption volume of one box (17kg) of TAFNEL Needle Punch Fabric "BL-65" is calculated as 170kg, it can absorb one drum of oil (200 liters).

The absorption strength might change depending on the product.

Does not sink in water

The specific gravity of the material of TAFNEL Needle Punch Fabric is 0.9, thus it does not sink in water.

Absorbs very little water

TAFNEL Needle Punch Fabric is made of polypropylene fibers, thus it has excellent lipophilicity and hydrophobic properties. It also has the ability to replace water with oil, so even if water is mixed in the fibers, the absorbed oil expels the water.
When measured in accordance with the "Standard for Oil Absorption Material Performance Test for Type Approval" stipulated by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation, the absorbing volume per gram of TAFNEL is 0.1g and that per cubic centimeter is 0.06g.

Excellent stability of properties

The long fibers have excellent strength. Moreover, because no adhesive is used, there's no sticky feeling during measurement.

No poisonous fumes emitted when TAFNEL is burnt

The burning temperature is about 910℃, roughly the same as kerosene and light oil.

Use TAFNEL according to oil characteristics.
