SYNCOT Team – Oil absorbing coco de nata sponge

Vietnam was in three countries having the highest numbers of oil spills in 10 years. This is the reason why we created SYNCOT- a hydrophobic modified aerogel made from nata de coco which absorbs oil rapidly. It solves the agriculture waste problem, creates new income for Vietnamese farmers, using no toxin in production. Besides, after absorbing we can withdraw the spilled oil without releasing any toxic gases to the environment as the burning method. We can save much time, money and protect the environment where oil spills occur.
