Hi-Point Industries was incorporated in 1983, with the business objective of producing environmentally safe, all natural oil absorbents for the containment of hydrocarbon spills. Millions of dollars were spent on research and the construction of a custom-built factory. In 1984, Oclansorb® was born and our process patented. Oclansorb® is an organic, nontoxic, non-abrasive, lightweight industrial oil absorbent. Oclansorb® is made from naturally occurring blonde sphagnum peat moss harvested from the bogs of Newfoundland - it is the original peat based absorbent.
Oclansorb® has proven to be effective in large spills worldwide. Oclansorb® has helped mitigate environmental damage at major spills such as the Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska, the Iron Baron spill in Australia, and at a catascropic spill in Uruguay. Equally important, Oclansorb® and associated products are used daily as an ecological and economical absorbent for small spills. Oclansorb® is used by manufacturing plants, pulp and paper companies, oil storage facilities, oil refineries, petrochemical and chemical plants, transportation depots, airports, railways hydro and utility companies, fire and police departments, military bases and numerous other facilities.
Oclansorb® is also produced and packaged under private label for several large United States and Canadian Corporations. Oclansorb® is packaged in Sorb-Sox® (boom) and Spillow® (pillow) formats to provide spill responders the capability to control any spill scenario. Both Sorb-Sox® and Spillow® are available in standard and custom sizes. Hi-Point also stocks its own line of private label polypropylene pads, rolls, and booms at it's facility in Bishop's Falls. Hi-Point Industries have formed a joint venture with one of the oldest and most respected manufacturers of environmental bio cultures in the world.
Their product forms the key microbial components of Oclansorb® Plus, a biological oil absorbent that accelerates the natural biodegradation of residual oil left after a spill. These cultures are selected blends of naturally occurring, environmentally safe, nonpathogenic bacteria which have been specifically bred for more than 30 years to aggressively and enzymatically metabolize many petroleum hydrocarbons and other wastes. These cultures were fully authorized by the U.S. EPA Oil Spill National Contingency Plan (NCP) as an approved biotreatment agent for marine oil spills.
