ABSTRACT:
A product or article for manual use in the removal of spilled oil and like contaminants from the surface of a body of water is provided which is characterized by a plurality of strands of a polyolefin being placed in an endless or closed, circular state with each strand being twisted about its longitudinal axis, with the strands being retained in this state by tie or like securing means, thereby causing an intermixing of the twisted polyolefin strands with one another producing a loose, fluffy polyolefin mass having a great many interstices formed throughout the mass thereby materially increasing the adsorbing oil ensnaring characteristics of the mass. The means for tightly securing the wound and twisted strands to one another insures the retention of the imparted twist in each of the strands and also insures that the structural integrity of the formed article will be maintained thereby preventing any scattering of the strands as well as making it possible to easily achieve the removal of the article after its use from the water. The invention includes the method of making the article to insure the creation and maintenance of the twist in each of the strands that go to make up the complete article.
