ROCHESTER, NY (June 25, 2008) -- AbsorbTech, distributor for OilMaster 7x, a natural absorbent product, has requested that the Environmental Protection Agency and other government agencies review OilMaster as a possible clean-up agent for the toxic brew resulting from recent floods in Iowa and other central U.S. States.

AbsorbTech, LLC, is based in Webster , N.Y. Company spokesperson Robert Jamieson estimates the cost of using OilMaster 7x as minimal compared to the monetary expense and public safety risk if the water is untreated.

“OilMaster 7x can be applied on the surface, or in combination with water booms, which contain the chemical spill,” Mr. Jamieson explained. “The OilMaster compound is 100 percent natural, and it traps hazardous chemicals in a solid form that is easier for disposal. The product could be skimmed, or you could just leave it to wash to shore. “
