Frequently Asked Questions
Which 3M universal sorbent pads are best for automotive shops?
MPD15200 pads handle oil, coolant, and hydraulic fluid exceptionally well. The reinforced scrim resists tearing when dragged under vehicles, and the 15" x 20" size covers more area than rags while absorbing more per pad.
How do these compare to generic universal sorbent pads?
3M’s scrim-backed construction offers 3× better tear resistance with lower lint than many generics. They maintain integrity when saturated, improving cleanup efficiency and reducing waste.
Which sorbent pads work best for both oil and water spills?
These universal pads are formulated for oils, hydraulics, coolants, water-based liquids, and mild solvents—one SKU covers multiple spill types to simplify inventory.
Are these pads suitable for food service environments?
They’re low-lint and clean, but primarily intended for industrial and automotive use. For food service, check local regulations and consider food-safe absorbents that meet industry standards.
How much liquid can each individual pad absorb?
Roughly 0.375 gallons per pad, depending on the liquid’s viscosity. Their size and polypropylene build help them hold together even when fully saturated.
