Key Features & Benefits
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Oil-Only Absorption Technology | Repels water while rapidly absorbing petroleum-based liquids, hydraulic fluids, and lubricants, making them perfect for outdoor use or wet shop floors where you only want to remove oil contamination. This selective absorption prevents waterlogging and reduces waste disposal costs by targeting specific contaminants. |
| 3X Faster Wet Cleanup | Delivers 3X faster oil absorption compared to universal absorbents in wet conditions by maintaining effectiveness when water is present, eliminating delays caused by water absorption in traditional pads. This speed improvement reduces cleanup time and prevents oil from spreading to larger areas. |
| Reinforced Scrim Durability | Double-sided scrim construction prevents tearing and reduces linting, ensuring pads stay intact even with light foot traffic and repeated handling throughout your workday. This durability eliminates pad breakup during use and reduces cleanup of absorbent debris after spill response, maintaining structural integrity in high-traffic areas and during emergency response situations when quick deployment is critical for containing petroleum spills effectively. |
| 50% Recycled Content Construction | Made with over 50% recycled content, these oil absorbent pads help meet sustainability goals while maintaining professional performance standards for demanding industrial applications. This eco-friendly construction reduces environmental impact without compromising absorption capacity or durability, supporting corporate environmental initiatives while delivering reliable spill response capabilities that match or exceed traditional petroleum sorbent materials in effectiveness and longevity. |
| 17" x 15" Coverage Size | Each pad covers 17" x 15" for efficient spill containment with optimal size for handling and placement, providing excellent coverage without being unwieldy during emergency response. This dimension maximizes absorption area while allowing precise placement around equipment and in tight spaces. |
