Corn cob materials are natural, highly absorbent granules made from crushed corn cobs. They are widely used in laboratory animal housing, as industrial absorbents, and as polishing and abrasive media for cleaning, drying, and finishing applications.
Corn cob materials are used because they are highly absorbent, low in dust, and consistent in performance.
In laboratories, they help maintain clean, dry environments for animals and reduce odour in enclosures.
In industrial settings, they are used for spill absorption, moisture control, and as a gentle abrasive or polishing media for cleaning, drying and finishing parts.
