The oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico has been front page news for over a month now. Officials are still unable to clearly state how much oil is leaking out of the pipeline under the ocean while wildlife above and below the water struggle for survival. What we do know is this is the biggest oil spill in U.S. history. Red blobs of oil are seen floating on the water four miles from shore. Tar balls are washing up on the beaches and marshlands along the Louisiana coast.
The oil leak is in the minds of Americans along the eastern seaboard and all the way inland. Even young students are brainstorming ideas on how to stop the flow and help the environment. One fourth grade student at Walnut Hills Elementary turned her questions about the oil leak into her science fair project. She found that
It’s fun to get these e-mails from the parents of kids who had a great science fair experience. Ken Landau shared these pictures from his son’s science fair project. Brett used the Oil Spill Clean-up kit as the foundation of his third grade science fair project.
Brett has a very real love of science, experimentation, and model building. He found your site and this experiment by himself and we both agreed it looked very interesting. Your site was very informative and your staff very helpful (even letting me add to my order after it was submitted online.) – Ken
Here’s how Enviro-Bond 403 Oil Polymer works… Just sprinkle a small amount of this polymer onto the layer of oil and in seconds the polymer bonds to the oil, forming a sponge-like material that can be easily removed from the jar of water. This polymer is specially formulated to bond quickly and safely to many types of liquid hydrocarbons including crude oil, diesel fuel and gasoline. The bonding is so complete that it literally encapsulates the liquid hydrocarbons in just seconds. Here’s an incredible solution to future oil spill disasters.
