The oil and chemical binding agent “Zauberwatte”® (means “magic cotton wool”) against oil contamination.
Zauberwatte® absorbs everything that is lighter than water. It binds contamination from oil and chemicals within seconds. The Zauberwatte® can be removed without residue and then recycling.
Just 1 kilogram of Zauberwatte® is enough to absorb 6 litres of oil – 1/3 more than any other oil-binding agents that are available. Place the Zauberwatte® on the oil contamination, wait for a short period and simply remove it.
Zauberwatte® is the Winner of the European Inventor Award 2017 and certified by DEKRA Umwelt GmbH.

Water with oil
Put the cotton on the water
Wait a moment
Just remove the cotton
RESULT = CLEAN WATER
Zauberwatte® is suitable for hydrophobic liquids, for all oils and chemicals, including alcohols and surfactants.
1 kg Zauberwatte® binds 6.55 l of oil (DEKRA), fast absorption due to large surface of 3qm/g.
Zauberwatte® binds permanently, does not absorb water and floats on the surface even when saturated.
Zauberwatte® can be removed without leaving any residue in order to recycle or thermally reuse it afterwards.

DISPOSAL
A typical oil/cotton wool mixture has a calorific value of 45 MJ/kg. This means that the Zauberwatte® can be used as a substitute fuel in thermal recycling.
WASTE OIL ORDINANCE (ALTÖLV)
§ 2 Priority of processing
(1) The recycling of waste oils shall be given priority over other methods of disposal, unless technical and economic, including organisational, constraints prevent this.
SUSTAINABILITY
ZAUBERWATTE® FOCUSES ON SUSTAINABILITY
Zauberwatte® takes responsibility for our environment. It’s not just the oil binding agent itself that is all about sustainability. The concept of sustainability can be defined based on four pillars: The recycling cycle, water protection, sustainable packaging and material savings.
Recycling
The used Zauberwatte® does not have to be disposed of, but can be reused. The oil and Zauberwatte® are separated by centrifuging. Figuratively explained, Zauberwatte® can be wrung out like a sponge.
Water protection
A big plus of Zauberwatte® is that it is not hazardous to water bodies and can be removed from the water without leaving any residue. The fully saturated Zauberwatte® clumps together and can be removed from the water without any issues, whereas many other oil binding agents are only available in powder form. Other practical properties of Zauberwatte® are that it does not absorb water and floats on the surface of the water even when fully saturated.
Sustainable packaging
Metal drums are provided for the return shipment of the soiled Zauberwatte®. Just like Zauberwatte®, the barrels are also cleaned and used several times.
Material savings
The high absorption capacity of the material means that less material is needed to remove oil and chemicals than would be the case with conventional oil binding agents. Compared to granules, for example, Zauberwatte® offers material savings of one sixth.
