If the ColdForm™ technology is so much better than meltblown polypropylene why is meltblown the most widely used product in the spill sorbent industry?

Meltblown polypropylene has been the “industry standard” and commands the lion share of the market because it had, in the past, been the most economical way to manufacture an oil absorbent. The price of polypropylene has, however, risen 110% over the past three years. When polypropylene was less than half as expensive as it is today, it was indeed the best method and material to manufacture oil sorbents. The current reality is much different. At its current price, there are better and less expensive ways to manufacture an oil absorbent.
