Oil spills have always posed a significant threat to Vietnam’s environment and economy, with oil filter fabric emerging as an essential solution to address this issue. According to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, dozens of large and small oil spill incidents have occurred over the past decade, causing severe pollution to rivers, seas, and affecting thousands of coastal households. The cost of remediation can reach billions of VND per incident, not to mention the long-term ecological damage.
In the context of climate change increasing the risk of natural disasters, having an effective solution for oil spill response is more urgent than ever. This is why the N-FIBER Oil Filter Fabric from Bignanotech – a product leveraging advanced nano-technology from Japan – is gaining significant attention from oil and gas companies, seaports, and environmental management agencies.

This product not only enables rapid oil spill collection but is also environmentally friendly, reusable multiple times, and safe against fire hazards. Let’s dive into the details of the N-FIBER Oil Filter Fabric in this article, from its technical specifications to practical usage guidelines, to understand why it stands out as the top choice for oil spill response plans under Decision 12/2021/QĐ-TTg and Decision 24/2025/QĐ-TTg by the Prime Minister.
Outstanding Features of N-FIBER Oil Filter Fabric: Breakthrough Nano-Technology
The N-FIBER Oil Filter Fabric is manufactured by Bignanotech – a pioneering Vietnamese company in nano-materials – using advanced non-woven polypropylene fiber technology. This product excels in selectively absorbing oil without water intake, making it highly effective for oil spill management in various conditions. Below are the detailed features:
-
Exceptional Absorption Capacity: With its ultra-fine nano-fiber structure, the oil filter fabric can absorb up to 20 times its own weight, equivalent to 1.75kg of oil per m². This surpasses traditional materials, enabling quick oil collection with no residue. Tests show it can handle a flow rate of up to 250m³/hour without clogging.
-
Flexible Size and Lightweight Design: With standard dimensions of 1.5m x 1.5m x 5mm and a weight of just 0.5kg/m², it is easy to roll up and transport. The fabric can be customized by cutting, making it suitable for both vast areas like the open sea or confined spaces like drainage ditches.
-
High Fire and Explosion Safety: Treated with anti-static properties, the fabric is highly resistant to ignition, ensuring safety in flammable environments such as oil depots or oil tankers. This feature complies with strict oil spill response regulations under Article 24 of the Decree.
-
Reusable and Environmentally Friendly: After absorption, oil can be separated by squeezing or mechanical pressing, allowing the oil-absorbent fabric to be reused 3-5 times. At the end of its lifecycle, it can be incinerated with less than 1% ash residue, reducing waste. This saves costs (up to 40% compared to single-use products) and supports environmental protection, aligning with the Law on Environmental Protection 2020.

Compared to imported products, the N-FIBER Oil Filter Fabric offers a more competitive price due to local production, avoiding import taxes, and superior performance thanks to nano-technology tailored for tropical climates.
Usage Guide for N-FIBER Oil Filter Fabric: From Theory to Practice
Using the N-FIBER Oil Filter Fabric is straightforward, requiring no complex equipment, and is suitable for both large enterprises and individuals. Below is a detailed guide based on real-world applications:
-
Preparation and Deployment: First, assess the oil spill area and cut the fabric to the appropriate size. Place the oil filter fabric over the contaminated water or land surface, ensuring full coverage to maximize absorption efficiency. For instance, in a sea oil spill, use the fabric as a barrier curtain to prevent oil from spreading.
-
Absorption Process: Allow the fabric to naturally absorb oil for 20-30 minutes. Oil is retained within the fibers, while clean water passes through. Note: Avoid using it in shallow waters under 10m to prevent ecological harm, as per regulations.
-
Collection and Oil Separation: Use bags or roll the oil filter fabric to collect the oil, then separate it using mechanical methods like pressing or squeezing. A 1.5m² piece can absorb up to 2.6L of oil, enabling swift handling.
-
Post-Use Handling: Clean the fabric with water or incinerate it with auxiliary fuel if needed. Regularly inspect and reuse it to save costs. For advanced applications, such as filtering in storage tanks or as barriers at ports, the fabric can be combined with other materials like the N-FIBER P50 oil-absorbent pad for enhanced results.
