Existing product
Absorbent pad
Recommended for surface absorption, initial cleaning, floor protection and assistance with widespread leaks.
Guided technical selection
Technical sizing for environmental spill kits and industrial absorbents
Mantas Brasil helps your team select existing products according to the risk, type of liquid, location of use, estimated volume and environmental prevention or response needs.
Needs assessment
Sizing is not about choosing by product name
Technical sizing considers the liquid involved, where a leak may occur, the likely volume, the response speed required and the materials the team needs to have on hand.
The guidance covers only products already in the Mantas Brasil portfolio: absorbent pads, booms, socks, pillows, spill containment pallets, peat, environmental spill kits and listed accessories.
Expected outcome
A more reliable sales recommendation, with the right range, suitable format and a combination of products compatible with the operation.

How to choose between the white, green or gray range
Selection starts with the type of liquid. For a chemical product, consult the SDS and provide its composition for a safer recommendation.
Type of liquid
How to size according to the type of liquid
Oil and petroleum products
Assess whether the spill occurs on a floor, in water, on a machine, during transport or in storage. The combination may include absorbent pads, booms, socks, pillows, peat and kits.
Aggressive chemicals
Provide the product, concentration where applicable, SDS and location of use. The green range must be assessed according to chemical risk and the operation's routine.
General-purpose liquids
For water, common fluids, effluents and non-aggressive liquids, the gray range can support cleaning, floor protection and response in indoor areas.
Application location
How to size according to the risk location
The same liquid may require different formats depending on whether the risk involves a floor, water, drain, machine, stock, transport, port or workshop.
Floors and traffic areas
Absorbent pads, socks, pillows and kits for rapid response to localized spills.
Water, drainage channels and perimeter containment
Absorbent booms and pads compatible with the liquid involved.
Drains, machines and drip points
Absorbent socks, pillows and pads for localized containment and maintenance support.
Stock and storerooms
Kits, spill containment pallets, absorbent pads and accessories positioned near risk points.
Transport, ports and workshops
Environmental spill kits, absorbent booms, socks, pillows and peat according to the response scenario.
Correct format
When to use an absorbent pad, boom, sock, pillow, pallet or kit
The best solution usually combines formats. Sizing helps prevent insufficient purchases, excessive quantities of unsuitable items or a lack of essential accessories.

Guidance table
Common sizing scenarios
The table below does not replace a technical assessment, SDS or internal procedure. It organizes the information needed to recommend products that can be assessed for each scenario.
| Scenario | Information required | Products that may be assessed |
|---|---|---|
| Oil on floors | Type of oil or petroleum product, affected area, estimated volume, access to drains and urgency of the response. | White range absorbent pads, socks, pillows, peat and kits may be assessed according to the scenario. |
| Oil on water | Usage environment, spill extent, current, access to the location and estimated volume. | Absorbent booms, white range absorbent pads, socks, pillows and kits may be assessed under technical guidance. |
| Drains and drainage channels | Location, width or diameter, type of liquid and risk of spreading. | Absorbent socks, pads, booms and kits may be assessed according to the critical point. |
| Machines and maintenance | Equipment involved, drip point, leak frequency and type of liquid. | Absorbent pads, socks, pillows, maintenance absorbent matting and kits may be assessed according to the operation. |
| Jerrycan/drum storage | Stored volume, container type, liquid, location and handling routine. | Spill containment pallets, absorbent pads, socks, kits and accessories may be assessed according to the risk. |
| Aggressive chemical products | Product SDS, compatibility, location of use, volume and internal safety procedure. | The green range, kits for aggressive chemicals and accessories may be assessed under technical guidance. |
| General-purpose liquids | Type of liquid, presence of water or effluent, affected area and estimated volume. | The gray range, absorbent socks, pillows and kits for general-purpose liquids may be assessed according to the scenario. |
| Response station kit | Main risk, storage location, team access, replenishment and approximate quantity. | Environmental protection kits, absorbent pads, socks, booms, pillows and accessories may be assessed. |
