Directions for use

Oil Spills at Sea Seacare O.S.D. is used undiluted by direct spraying to clean up oil spills at sea. It can be applied by

hand spray, work boats with mounted spray booms, or fire hoses with injectors. Allow some time for the oil to absorb

the Seacare O.S.D. and then disperse mixture by vigorous agitation using fire hoses, ship's propeller, breaker

boards towed behind work boats, etc.

Seacare O.S.D. should not be used in an area of sea of a depth less than 20 metres or within one mile of such area

exept in accordance with the advice of the local District Inspector of Fisheries of Ministry or Scottish Office

Agriculture, Environmental and Fisheries Department (SOAEFD).

Oil on Beaches and Shore Line

Seacare O.S.D. should be applied neat by spraying over oiled areas. Allow time for the oil to absorb the Seacare

O.S.D. then follow by washing down the beach or rocks, etc. The treatment rate depends on the type and thickness

of the oil spill, also on the age and condition. Under conditions where it is a thin slick of oil, 1 litre of Seacare O.S.D.

is enough to treat approximately 10 square metres of oil. In many cases, several applications may be necessary.

Oil Spill on Deck

Remove as much of the oil as possible, then spray Seacare O.S.D. over area covered by the oil and allow some time

for it to be absorbed. Disperse the mixture with water by means of a fire hose. Depending on type of oil it may be

necessary to use several applications.
