SCOPEOFTHE PROBLEM

How much oil has been dumped in the ocean?

Equivalent to

76 million gallons of gasoline

3.65 billion miles driven on a Prius (@48mph), or

145000 trips around the Earth, or

16000 trips to the Moon and back, or

20 trips to the Sun and back

As of July 23. Source: CNN

Reverse and minimize the consequences of the

Deep Horizon and other crude oil spills

A field test to demonstrate and verify our claimsof low toxicity and high efficiency

WHAT IS CURRENTLY BEING DONE?

the widespread broadcasting (spreading) and

Pollyanna virtues ofoil dispersantswere exaggerated

to us from the start by the government, the culprits

and the media

WHAT IS CURRENTLY BEING DONE?

The federal government has signed off on BPs

use ofdispersants as a necessary part of the

companys damage-control strategy.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

Environmental Protection Agency

U.S. Coast Guard and other agencies

Currently BP is still using the controversial

dispersant Corexit.

There are credible concerns that the chemical will

have a negative effect on the environment.

The efficiency is also in question. 5

COREXIT DISPERSED OILS MORE TOXIC

THAN CRUDE OILS!

The standard toxicity test for chemical compounds is called the

LC50, meaning the lowest concentration at which a material kills

50% of the test animals

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency data on dispersants

provide the LC50 in parts per million. As has been earlier

reported, Corexit, the compound chosen by BP, has some of the

lowest LD50 numbers on the list, meaning that its among the

most poisonous. Also, its among the least effective on Louisiana

crude (the type flowing from the Deepwater break).

ABRIEFDEFINITIONOF DISPERSANTS

Dispersants are generally surfactants (shortened from

surface activeagents) mixed with solvents. Your laundry

detergents success is an example of an effective surfactant,

and its why dirt releases from your dampened clothes. The

dispersants are effective in watery, saturated

conditions

When mixed with treated water like that used as a

dilution medium for the concentrated dispersants in the

Gulf, even basic surfactant-laden household detergents canbecome carcinogenic products or help other chemicals to

do so

7------ Roger Butow, Salem-News.com


8/30

NEGATIVEEFFECTS: PHYSICAL

Corexit and other chemicals currently being used leave oil

and solvent in remnant water.

Oil is rendered irreclaimable and unrecyclable.

8


9/30

NEGATIVEEFFECTS: ECOLOGICAL

1. Reportedly Corexit may be toxic to marine life and helps keep

spilled oil submerged.

2. There is concern that the quantities used in the Gulf will create

unprecedented underwater damage to organisms.

3. Oil mixed with Corexit is more toxic to marine life because

the dispersant allows the oil to stay submerged below the surface

of the water. Corexit 9500 causes oil to form into small droplets

in the water; fish may be harmed when they eat these

droplets.

4. According to its Material safety data sheet, Corexit may also

bioaccumulate, remaining in the flesh and building up over

time, then migrate up through food chain until reaching human. 9


10/30

OILDISPERSANTS: ANENVIRONMENTAL

CRAPSHOOT.

Dispersants themselves are toxic. But a bigger concern is what happens in

dispersing the oil, which is far more hazardous to living creatures

Unprecedented, untested: 55,000

gallons injected into some 5,000 feetbelow the surface

Deep sea mystery and dead zones:

The conditions at the bottom of the

Gulf also could affect the bacteria

that help break down the oil nearthe surface and it will remain toxic

for much longer.

ACTIVE INGREDIENTSOF COREXIT

Hydrocarbons (Petroleum solvents etc.)

Polypropylene Glycol (Hydrophobic surfactant)

Organic Sulfonate (Main ingredient of detergent)

SF-332 uses NONE of these ingredients

11


12/30

CAPPINGIS NOT THEFULLSOLUTION

Capping might stop the flow of fresh oil, though

even that is uncertain. There is still a huge task

ahead.

Capping it today will not reverse what mischief

has already been set loose in the form of these

surfactants (dispersants) as they mix, as the new

chemical compositions cascade throughout theGulfs very complex ecosystems.

THEA WHALE

The Taiwanese Ship has been rendered useless by the

Coast Guard in the Gulf. With SF-332 this ship might be

able to fulfill the purpose for which it was intended now

and in the future.

What needs to be done?

We need to immediately find and enact

the most effective available means ofprotecting our planets ecosystems.

DISPERSANT OIL COLLECTING AGENT

Our fluoro oil collecting agent, SF-332,

chemically and physically bonds to the oil and

acts as a herding agent making marine spill

collection easier. Quick and Effective

Backed by 10 years of R&D

The polluted area will quickly congeal to a thickfilm for easy collection.

1 liter 2.56 tons of crude oil spread on ocean

Ppm-level vs. saturated detergent

Avoids secondary pollution

No microscopic droplets in deep water

Not biocumulative

Fast reaction time

Lab tests usually done within seconds

Requires closed application site17

COMPARISON

Dispersant creates polluted water saturated with droplets,

where fish can barely breath.

SF-332 creates clear water where fish can live well.

SF-332 PRODUCTSHEET

SF-332 is a highly effective fluorinated surfactant compound with a number of

applications characterized by several key benefits including low surface tension,

wetting, and leveling. The product gathers oil quickly and efficiently with minimal

residual toxicity. When a marine oil spill occurs, it spreads to cover large areas of

the oceans surface polluting the water environment and harming biological

elements. Spreading a little amount of this fluorinated surfactant will greatlyreduce water surface tension forming a thick oil layer for rapid and thorough

collection.
