About this file
This is a specifications document for sorbent pads issued by the State of Maine Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for an annual master agreement covering sorbent pads and booms. The specifications detail heavyweight sorbent pads measuring approximately 17" x 20" and 3/8" thick, composed of 1-ply nonwoven melt-blown polypropylene with mechanical entanglement bonding and no coverstock. The pads must be white, hydrophobic, and oleophilic, with performance characteristics demonstrated through ASTM F726-99 test data submitted at the bidder's expense. The pads will be packaged in bales of 100 units weighing 18-22 pounds per bale, with approximately 36 bales palletized per shipment. Delivery may be directed to any of three DEP response warehouses located in Portland, Augusta, or Bangor, Maine, with required 24-hour advance phone notification of delivery.
The sorbent pads must demonstrate a minimum absorbent capacity of 15X on a weight basis for medium viscosity oil and water absorption of less than 1.0X on a weight basis, representing minimum performance thresholds that do not preclude the State from evaluating superior performance. The pads shall be similar to the Sorbent Products Company model ENV100 and must be free of excessive linting when dry or oil saturated. Bidders are responsible for all costs associated with obtaining required ASTM test results, which should be reflected in their pricing. The specification indicates this procurement is part of Maine's emergency response capabilities for environmental incidents requiring absorbent materials.
