REMOVAL

G3 polymers need not to be to removed from site

After a simple and fast treatment G3 polymers can be disposed on site

DISPOSAL
Disposal procedure (30min):
1. Correct pH to 6 – 9 with hydrochloric acid (HCl)
2. Break the polymer chain with Calcium Hypochlorite

GEO’s products are not contaminants, not pollutants and respect the
environment

LEGAL REGULATION
GEO’s products where approved to be disposed on the environment in:
Example: Spain (CEDEX – Government lab for civil engineering and
environment)

GEO is keen to support further studies in other countries
