What is an oil absorbent pad?
An oil absorbent pad is a flat industrial absorbent used to collect oil and petroleum products on floors, benches, equipment and maintenance areas and, depending on the line, on surfaces where water is present.
In the white line, the material is suitable for hydrocarbons such as lubricating oil, diesel, gasoline and petroleum products.
- Lightweight and easy to position.
- Good for localized leaks and splashes.
- Helps reduce cleaning time and exposure of the contaminated floor.
02
When to use absorbent pads
Use pads when the liquid is on a flat area, around machinery, on a bench, under drip points or after containing the leak with absorbent socks.
If the liquid is flowing toward drains or channels, first contain it with absorbent socks; then apply pads to absorb it.
- Oil changes and maintenance.
- Lubrication points.
- Small and medium spills.
- Preventive floor protection.
03
When a pad alone is not enough
Pads absorb, but they do not replace containment when a leak is spreading. In water, along banks or over larger perimeters, absorbent booms and socks may be needed before final absorption.
For concentrated volumes under machinery or piping, an absorbent pillow may be more suitable than a flat pad.
- Use absorbent socks to surround the spill.
- Use absorbent booms in water.
- Use absorbent pillows for concentrated dripping.
- Use a kit when you need a complete response.
