| dc.description | The Philippines may soon have the technology remove oil spills, such as that off Oriental Mindoro in February, with the 'CocoFlexSorb' that was developed at Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT). The bio-based polyurethane foam was developed through the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Balik Scientist program. It was presented to the public on May 11, said a news release from the DOST-Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development (DOST-PCIEERD). Unlike those available in the market, CocoFlexSorb has superior oil absorption capacity and can absorb different types of oil from light, vegetable, kerosene, engine and bunker oil, DOST-PCIEERD said. | en |
