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 the type of oil it may be
necessary to use several applications.
