Oil Sponge Cleaners are readily biodegradable. Biodegradable means nothing by itself as all materials will eventually return to a natural state. The key is how soon or how long. When a substance biodegrades too quickly it becomes a "biostimulant" and as in the case of phosphates, becomes a pollutant called eutrophication, which is what happened to the Great Lakes.
When is a substance considered a hard chemical? When that chemical biodegrades in excess of the optimum time of twenty-eight (28) days. DDT is an example of a hard chemical. Oil Sponge UC+ in its natural form has passed the Modified STURM Test, which is OECD 30m approved, achieving 67.54% of THCO (at 10 mg C/L) and 31.73% of THCO (at 20 mg CIL) within the 28 day test period. Additionally, Oil Sponge UC+ (diluted 50% with water) has passed the EPAl600/4-90/027 -- USEPA EMSL protocol for aquatic toxicology using Pimephales promelas. NOTE: Only 3-5% of all products claiming the term biodegradable pass the Modified STURM Test.
