Liquid Waste Solidifier

The StoSet 9000 Waste Solidifier, made by Sto Corp., is a dry powder that can be added to liquid waste materials such as latex- or acrylic-based finishes, paints and coatings to solidify them for disposal. By solidifying the products, the risk of contamination is decreased. About 1 quart of the powder can solidify a 5-gallon pail of liquid within seconds, according to the company.

The powder offers an environmentally friendly way to eliminate any water-based product that could be thrown into a landfill if it were solid as well. The powder allows for less dust and faster solidification than other products, such as cement, according to the company.
