Celluloc

Reduce the material required for cleanup, solidification, and moisture management. Celluloc is a commercial absorbent made from 100% sugarcane bagasse, engineered to absorb up to five times its weight in liquid.

UP TO 5X ABSORPTION

THE CELLULOC DIFFERENCE

Performance that changes the material math.

01

Absorb more with less

Celluloc absorbs up to five pounds of liquid per pound of material, allowing crews to achieve more absorption with less product.

02

Reduce your freight burden

Higher absorption capacity can reduce the volume of absorbent required and the freight burden compared with lower-capacity wood or clay alternatives.

03

100% biodegradable

Made from sugarcane bagasse with no chemical binders, Celluloc breaks down naturally instead of introducing a persistent synthetic material.

WHAT IT IS

Built differently
at the fiber level.

Celluloc starts with sugarcane bagasse, whose native vascular structure creates extensive internal space for liquid absorption. That structure helps the material absorb quickly, hold more per pound, and reduce the amount of absorbent required on site.

AVAILABLE FORMS

Choose the form
that fits the job.

Celluloc comes in four forms. Every form is available as a 1-gallon sample, so you can test it on your own material before ordering in bulk.

Celluloc

Pellets

Compact pellets that are clean to handle, easy to store, and efficient to ship.

Best for: spill control, waste solidification, and animal bedding.

Celluloc

Crumble

Loose bagasse fiber that spreads easily and starts absorbing on contact.

Best for: surface spills, floor-dry replacement, and leachate control.

Celluloc

Biochar-Infused Pellets

Celluloc pellets blended with Progreaux Biochar, pairing absorption with biochar's adsorptive surface.

Best for: environmental remediation and waste streams that need contaminants held in place.

Celluloc

Biochar-Infused Crumble

Celluloc crumble blended with Progreaux Biochar for fast absorption plus biochar's adsorptive surface.

Best for: remediation sites, leachate, and wastewater control.

APPLICATIONS

Built for demanding absorption applications.

Environmental Remediation

Plant-based absorption for contaminated-site work, brownfields, pipeline response, and remediation projects where end-of-life matters.

Oil & Gas Spill Control

Absorbs hydrocarbons and fluids for spill response at wellheads, access roads, and other operating areas.

Waste Solidification

Helps manage wet spoils, slurry, trench spoil, frac-tank bottoms, produced-water solids, and similar high-moisture waste streams.

Leachate & Wastewater Control

Supports localized leachate, wastewater, and liquid-management applications while avoiding persistent synthetic polymers.

Animal Bedding

Manages moisture and odor in stalls and barns, with biodegradable spent material providing a more natural end-of-life pathway.

Common Questions,
Answered

Everything you need to evaluate Celluloc for your operation, from absorption capacity and biodegradability to applications and commercial availability.

How much liquid can Celluloc absorb?

Celluloc can absorb up to five times its own weight in liquid. Actual performance can vary by liquid and application, so customers can request a sample to evaluate Celluloc under their specific operating conditions.

Celluloc is made from 100% sugarcane bagasse, the fibrous plant material remaining from sugarcane processing. Native lignin in the fiber acts as the binder, so no chemical additives are required.

Yes. Celluloc is 100% biodegradable. Its approximately 100 to 150:1 carbon-to-nitrogen ratio also makes the spent material compatible with certain biopile and composting end-of-life contexts.

Celluloc is offered in pellets, crumble, biochar-infused pellets, and biochar-infused crumble. Availability may vary by form, so contact the Progreaux team to determine the best option for your application.

Yes. 1-gallon pellet samples are available through the website. Commercial supply is available in 1 MT supersacks, bulk freight, and ocean freight.

Celluloc's up-to-5:1 absorption capacity means less material may be required to manage the same liquid volume. In Progreaux's water-basis comparison, a roughly 44,000-pound truckload provides about 26,000 gallons of absorption capacity, compared with approximately 13,000 gallons for wood pellets and 5,000 gallons for clay floor-dry.
