Hello, enthusiasts of green technology and smart spill management solutions! In the context of Vietnam’s rapid industrialization, oil spill incidents are no longer rare. From large manufacturing plants like Formosa or VinFast to shrimp farms in the Mekong Delta, or even small auto repair garages—oil spills can happen anytime. And the consequences? Not just massive cleanup costs, but also environmental pollution risks and administrative fines up to hundreds of millions of VND under Decree 45/2022/ND-CP.
Fortunately, Bignanotech—a pioneering Vietnamese brand in nano technology applications—has introduced the Oil Absorbent Pillow N-Fiber, a “miracle” product manufactured 100% in Vietnam with technology transferred from Japan. Unlike expensive imports from the US or Australia, N-Fiber delivers superior performance at 1/3–1/2 the price, plus the advantages of fast delivery and dedicated Vietnamese-language technical support.

In this blog post, we’ll explore every detail of the product: from core technology, detailed technical specs, practical usage methods, to diverse applications and why it’s “raining success” in the Vietnamese market in 2025. If you’re seeking a safe, efficient, and cost-effective oil spill solution, read on to the end!
PART 1: JAPANESE NANO TECHNOLOGY – THE “SECRET” BEHIND N-FIBER’S “MIRACLE” PERFORMANCE
Let’s start with the “heart” of the product: nano surface modification technology. Unlike ordinary oil absorbent pillows that use raw polypropylene, N-Fiber is processed through an exclusive procedure from Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). This process includes:
- Step 1: Ultra-fine melt-blown fiber spinning: Virgin polypropylene fibers are drawn to a diameter of only 1–5 micrometers, creating a porous structure with millions of tiny pores.
- Step 2: Hydrophobic-oleophilic nano coating: Fibers are immersed in a special fluorine-free nano-silane solution, then plasma-dried at 180°C in a vacuum. The result is a coating just 3–8 nanometers thick, achieving a water contact angle of up to 142–155° (super water-repellent) and under 5° for oil (super oil-attracting).
- Step 3: Testing and optimization: Every production batch undergoes testing at QUATEST 3, ensuring 85–95% absorption speed in the first 60 seconds.
Benefits of this technology?
- Increases absorption capacity to 25–30 times its own weight – 30–50% higher than standard oil absorbent pillows.
- Absorbs only oil, repels water completely: Ideal for water surface cleanup without sinking or saturation.
- Reduces storage costs: Compact design, one carton takes up just 0.5 m² of space but handles hundreds of liters of oil.
- Environmentally friendly: No toxic chemicals, compliant with REACH and ROHS European standards.
The standout feature: Oil absorbed stays locked inside, with no leakage even if squeezed hard. This is why N-Fiber is certified under ISO 9001:2015 and TCVN 12600:2019 – the strictest standards for hazardous waste treatment products.

PART 3: REAL-WORLD APPLICATIONS – N-FIBER “BATTLES” EVERY TYPE OF OIL SPILL IN VIETNAM
Oil absorbent pillow N-Fiber isn’t just theory—it’s been widely applied since 2023, with over 500,000 units sold. Here are standout applications, based on real partner feedback:
- Industrial Plants (Automotive, Electronics, Chemicals): Handles hydraulic oil leaks from presses or pipes. Example: At VinFast Hai Phong, N-Fiber cuts cleanup time from 2 hours to 10 minutes.
- Seaports and Oil Depots: Floats on water to absorb oil slicks from ships. Cat Lai Port has stocked 10,000 units as emergency supplies.

PART 4: DETAILED USAGE GUIDE – FROM A TO Z FOR BEGINNERS
Using Oil absorbent pillow N-Fiber is as simple as “drinking water,” taking just 5–7 minutes for small spills. Here’s the full process, with expert tips:
Basic Procedure (For All Scenarios):
- Prepare: Remove the oil absorbent pillow from the carton (with convenient carrying strap). Wear protective gloves if the oil is hazardous.
- Place: Gently position on the oil spill area for maximum contact (on floors or floating on water).
- Absorb: Wait 3–5 minutes, flip to the other side and wait again. Monitor color: white to dark = saturated.
- Recover: Lift out (pull strap if on water), wring using hand or centrifugal press to extract oil (95–98% recovery for reuse).
- Post-Use: Wring completely dry, air-dry in a ventilated area for reuse. If expired, dispose as hazardous waste (away from fire, heat, water).
Advanced Tips by Scenario:
- Large Water Surfaces: Drag the pillow across the slick like wiping glass, using 2–3 units for coverage.
- Oil in Crevices: Stuff into gaps, secure with strap, pull after 10–15 minutes.
- Optimal Reuse: Wring in a enclosed area to prevent evaporation; test absorption after 3 cycles before reuse.
- Storage: Keep in dry place below 30°C; avoid puncturing the cover.
Safety: Do not burn directly (residual oil may ignite); not for acids/bases (use chemical-specific absorbents).
PART 5: COMPARISON WITH IMPORTED PRODUCTS – WHY OIL ABSORBENT PILLOW N-FIBER IS VIETNAM’S “HERO”
As a 100% Vietnamese product, Oil absorbent pillow N-Fiber eliminates import duties (10–20%) and international shipping delays (30–60 days). Here’s a fair comparison with major brands (based on 2025 market data):
