Abstract

An absorbent article for collecting non-aqueous liquids such as oil-based products, comprising a low density, structurally integral board of peat moss material manifesting an affinity for non-aqueous liquids while being hydrophobic in order to block undesirable water penetration in the absorbent medium. The invention also extends to a method for manufacturing the absorbent article.
