The innovative sustainable material developed by T1 is able to <strong>absorb industrial oils, fuels and dielectric oils<\/strong>, and can be <strong>squeezed and recycled up to 200 times<\/strong>, maintaining the same performance and reducing disposal costs for industry and infrastructures by 93% and the carbon footprint by 98%, thanks to a drastic waste reduction.<\/p>\n<p>The material allows the recovery of oil only, <strong>1 kg of material absorbs up to 5.000 kg of hydrocarbons<\/strong>, and not water, which is captured in a percentage of less than 5%. The squeezing process is simple and fast, and can be done with both manual and automated methods. The material is <strong>compatible with all types of oils and hydrocarbons<\/strong>, and the recovered oil can also be classified as used oil and returned as a resource in a circular perspective. Compared to traditional oil absorption methods, FoamFlex therefore reduces the CO2 emissions by over 99%, and can be reused without generating solid waste.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10471 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.tempco.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Tempco-FoamFlex-T1-Solutions-spugna-ecologica-recupero-sversamento-olio-diatermico-fluidi-dielettrici.jpg\" alt=\"Illustrative image of the performance offered by the innovative FoamFlex solution developed by T1 Solutions, an eco-friendly sponge for use in oil spill recovery.\" width=\"600\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tempco.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Tempco-FoamFlex-T1-Solutions-spugna-ecologica-recupero-sversamento-olio-diatermico-fluidi-dielettrici.jpg 1361w, https:\/\/www.tempco.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Tempco-FoamFlex-T1-Solutions-spugna-ecologica-recupero-sversamento-olio-diatermico-fluidi-dielettrici-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tempco.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Tempco-FoamFlex-T1-Solutions-spugna-ecologica-recupero-sversamento-olio-diatermico-fluidi-dielettrici-1024x660.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tempco.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Tempco-FoamFlex-T1-Solutions-spugna-ecologica-recupero-sversamento-olio-diatermico-fluidi-dielettrici-768x495.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\nFoamFlex thus represents a sustainable solution to mitigate the environmental impact, for example, of <strong>thermoregulation units using diathermic oil<\/strong> or <strong>dielectric fluids for cooling of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tempco.it\/blog\/en\/6545\/power-transformers-and-cooling-fluids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">transformers<\/a><\/strong> in the event of accidental oil spills.
