Paradigm International, Inc. is on the cutting edge of absorbent
technology with STARDUST Super Absorbent™.
It is called super absorbent because of its extraordinary versatility
in absorbing any kind of liquid or semi-liquid on contact. This
includes all animal, vegetable, mineral, petroleum, and chemical
liquids. It picks up all liquids, of any viscosity, off any hard
surface, leaving that surface clean and dry. For that reason it
is described as non-select, meaning it does not have a limited
range of efficacy.
Stardust
is wholly processed from an inert, inorganic mineral, amorphous
alumina silicate. Due to their amorphous structure, Stardust particles
provide a tremendous amount of surface area when compared to their
volume. This structure allows for excellent surface tension, contributing
to the exceptional absorption qualities of the product. In effect,
Stardust turns the spilled liquid into a solid that can be disposed
of easily. Because it is lightweight and so simple to use, it
dramatically reduces clean up costs, as well as the ever-increasing
costs of disposal. |
Stardust
has virtually unlimited uses as a dry absorbent that is safe in
all applications. It is not injurious to soil, cement, asphalt,
tile, plants, animals, or humans. It contains no reactive chemicals,
is not toxic, flammable, or biodegradable, and is environmentally
safe and friendly.
SUMMARY OF STARDUST’S ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS
REMARKABLY VERSATILE
• Picks up any liquids of any viscosity, from rubbing alcohol
to peanut butter.
• Does not have a limited range of efficacy. (It is therefore
non-select)
FINANCIAL BENEFITS
• Reduces cost of clean up, labour, and materials
• Reduces disposal costs
• Reduces risk of slip and fall financial liability
• Inexpensive to use
CLEARLY OUTPERFORMS COMPETITIVE PRODUCTS
• Works instantly
• 15 to 20 times the absorption capacity of clay-based products
• Non-selective, so eliminates the need to stock a wide
variety of absorbents
• Labour saving, easy to handle and use
• Light weight
USER SAFE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
• Non-injurious to soil, cement, asphalt, tile, plants,
animals, or humans
• Does not qualify as a carcinogen nor as a substance causing
silicosis
