A unique invention from Sweden

The absorbents are produced by an unique process and raw materials developed by Sanol AB, giving a hardened bio-foam which is biologically degradable.

Our products are environmentally friendly and through quality tests demonstrated a superior high and rapid absorption.

Non-toxic, biodegradable foam

Demand to replace polypropylene based absorbents has only increased. Our own manufactured product has a better absorbency than polypropylene based and bleeds not out the collected oil. The light weight is an advantage in handling and it is a non-toxic, environmental friendly and biodegradble product. In 2013 will be new production and office space of about 2000 square meters.

Sanol - an export product

The Sanol & Fixol products are available on four continents and we currently export to over 20 countries. We are very positive about the future and the development of export opportunities will continue.

Certifications

Sanol AB is environmentally certified according to ISO 14001 and quality certified according to ISO 9001.

Quality Tested Products

In the recent years we have worked with "Sanol 2.0", a development to improve the characteristics of the raw material. Recent quality and efficiency tests on YKI and IVL show a superior amount of absorbed oil in relation to its weight (ca 3 times higher than for polypropylene).

S.O.S - The Sanol System

In the 80's and 90's the "Sanol System" was exported to several countries through out the world. Containers with foam blocks, grinding & boom machines were supposed to produce oil absorbent booms directly at the emergency area.

Absorbents for the industry

The growing awareness of environmental issues brought new legislations to the industry during late 90's and beginning of the 00's. More companies was certified to ISO 14001 standard and the need for emergency absorbents for industry and transportation incresased. 2006 the owner structure in the company changed and one of Sanols biggest

clients became majority owner of Sanol.

The environmental awareness in focus

2007 the Kölsvinskôrv® was introduced on the customer market. It is a 30 cm absorbent that keep the bilge in smaller boats clean from petroleum based spill. It is a easy way to protect both the boat and the sea from oil and petroleum contamination. It was an immidiate success and today we have a range of marin customer products.

The oil price still goes strong

We all now that the oil is a finite resource. When the price on oil goes up, the price on polypropylen absorbents also rises. Sanols bio-foam keeps a lower price range and are influated by the oil price. This fact, together with the refined "Sanol 2.0", makes our capability to compete in the future even stronger.
