Absorbag - Safety and Re-cycling Instruction

The Absorbag are safe and easy to use and to re-cycle. It is made only from readily recycleable PE/PP plastics and calcium chloride salt.

Calcium chloride is classified in EU and USA as being non-toxic and environmentally safe. It is the second largest constituent of seawater and is spread by the thousands of tons on wintry roads in cold countries for de-icing. (Please refer to MSDS Calcium Chloride. Please note that minor differences in calcium chloride may exist due to different places of manufacture)

Concentrated salt should be handled with respect, as it very aggressively absorbs moisture and corrodes most metal surfaces. Pure salt or brine on bare skin will dry out and wrinkle the skin and may cause temporary rashes and itches if it is not promptly washed off. The salt is sealed inside th Absorbag and will not be released during ordinary handling.

Instruction of use

1. Use gloves and eye protection when handling Absorbags, especially if the bags have been used.
2. If salt or brine should come into contact with skin or eyes, wash immediately with lots of fresh water. If ingested, rinse mouth and drink water.
3. Brine collected in the bags during use can generally be poured into the nearest available drain. Some drain owners may require that the brine be diluted at disposal.
4. For separate disposal of any unused salt and metal clips, please cut the top with the hook off the bag and remove filter bag with salt.
5. The Absorbag are made only of PE/PP plastics that are approved for recycling together, except for the staples holding the hook and the calcium chloride.
