Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to cut the Ultra-Rail Mat?
Sharp scissors will be the simplest way to cut the mat. A sharp utility knife could also be used. Whichever you choose, please be sure to use proper safety measure as well as the appropriate PPE.
Does the rail mat absorb water?
No, Ultra-Rail Mat is hydrophilic so water passes very quickly through it leaving it dry so it can absorb oil and other hydrocarbons.
Why would I use Ultra-Rail Mat instead of the polypropylene absorbents that everyone else uses?
The X-Tex material that the rail mat is made from absorbs oil and other hydrocarbons much faster than traditional absorbents. A polypropylene sorbent material will not allow water to freely pass through it. Oil will absorb at the surface of a polypropylene absorbent, and the polypropylene will eventually blind over and the center will not absorb any oil.
Can absorbed oil be removed/extracted from the Ultra-Rail Mat?
Yes, approximately 85-90 % of absorbed oils can be reclaimed from the material and the media reused, through a press or centrifuge.
Is the Ultra-Rail Mat safe for the environment?
The rail mat is environmentally benign and user-friendly. It does not leach harmful substances into the environment and when incinerated produces minimal residue or ash.
