KATZ Liquid Binder Boards are the perfect choice when it comes to protecting sensitive ecosystems while avoiding the use of plastic-based absorbers. In fact, they’re a tested and certified solution designed to keep our coasts and bodies of water clean.
Hydro-tec technology
So how do we get our boards to only absorb oil and gasoline, but not water? Simple: By using the hydro-tec process to finish the material with a biopolymer, which optimizes it for this kind of application.
Highly absorbent
Highly absorbent
Ten kilogram of board will bind approx. 16 liters of oil on direct contact and float for more than three weeks on the water surface.
Permanent absorption
Permanent absorption
Once the material absorbs oil, it will never release it.
Exceptionally absorbent
Exceptionally absorbent
Since these boards are oleophilic, they start absorbing oil-based liquids immediately on contact.
Easy to use
Oil spills don’t happen on schedule, which is why it pays to be prepared. With our Liquid Binder Boards, you can rest assured knowing that you’ll be ready to respond quickly in the event of an emergency.
Storage
Storage
Liquid Binder Boards are easy to store and take up very little space.
Deployment
Deployment
They can be put right on top of the pollutants they need to absorb regardless of weather conditions: from the shoreline or by dropping them from the air.
Recovery
Recovery
Since the material is easy to spot on water, it can be easily retrieved with a net, landing net, or a vacuum cleaner – without leaving anything in the water.
Disposal
Disposal
The saturated boards can then be incinerated for disposal.
Easy to use
A single product.
A variety of uses.
Liquid Binder Boards are remarkably versatile. They’re buoyant, making them ideal for use in water, but their extraordinary absorbency works equally well on land and makes it easy to keep workplaces clean.

Our boards are not just the perfect choice for effectively protecting nature, but are also made of natural raw materials and are produced sustainably, making them 100% environmentally friendly.
Regional and eco-friendly
Regional and eco-friendly
The raw material we use for our board products is wood that is a natural byproduct of forest management practices. And we get this wood within a radius of 250 kilometers, making our operations both sustainable and regional. In addition, we use a closed-loop water system and a state-of-the-art heat recovery system.
Environmentally friendly

Everything you want to know about our Liquid Binder Boards
How can I order Liquid Binder Boards?
To order, simply get in touch with one of our contacts responsible for Liquid Binder Boards.
Can I just use any regular beverage coaster to absorb oil?
No. When it comes to our Liquid Binder Boards, we use hydro-tec technology on our wood pulp board in order to ensure that they will absorb oil and be able to float for many days. To put it simply, Liquid Binder Boards are much more than just a conventional beverage coaster.
What kinds of advantages do Liquid Binder Boards have in comparison to other oil absorbers?
Granular plastic absorbers often stay in the water after becoming saturated, after which they will continue to harm the environment. In contrast, our board absorbers can be recovered without leaving a trace.
What’s the correct way to dispose of saturated Liquid Binder Boards?
Disposal specifics will depend on the substance that the boards have absorbed. They normally need to be incinerated.
Can absorbed substances be retrieved?
Trying to do so is usually not cost-effective. If the product is very valuable, the boards can be squeezed together to press it out.
