Agent-X is a new generation of smart textiles using embedded technology. Agent-X is made of two layers of a geotextile with our patented Polymer blend embedded between the layers. This hybrid creates a filtration fabric that encapsulates hydrocarbons and forces them to unsaturated areas of the fabric. Agent-X is hydrophobic, which allows water to flow freely through it, and is oleophilic to solidify hydrocarbons upon contact. Laboratory tests have shown great efficiency in contracting small suspended oil droplets found in mechanical emulsions making it a stellar performer for oil sheen removal and for final polishing of effluent waters. Agent-X can be used for both land and water hydrocarbon secondary spill control.
