Our easy to use Industrial Absorbents selection how to choose the right Absorbents are a large category of products which includes pads, rolls, pillows, socks or snakes, booms, mats, etc.
Absorbent polypropylene offers you a great absorbency capacity relative to cost. It is lightweight and clean to handle. It holds together well and has virtually no problems with shelf life. Dispose of through high temperature incineration or appropriate landfill.
Sustainable cotton-based absorbents feature an extremely high absorbency rate. They are also very light and clean to use and can be land-farmed. Cotton-based absorbents are not as compact to transport as polypropylene however and are slightly more expensive.
When there is an oil or oil-based spills then the white Sorbents are the ones to use. White Sorbents also called as Oil Sorbents are hydrophobic in nature. They repel water and hence are a great choice for offshore based spill applications.
If you are handling aggressive or unknown chemical fluids, then the chemical Sorbents which are generally yellow or pink in colour are the ones to use.
If you're likely to spill a mixture of liquids such as degreaser, water-based chemicals, coolants or small amounts of oils and fuels, then the grey general-purpose absorbents are most suitable. These Sorbents are hydrophilic in nature which makes them absorb water as well..
Pre-cut for easy use. Ideal for cleaning up smaller spills or for final clean.
Available in various lengths, 46m or 92m are most common. Cut to place on workbenches, on shelves or under machinery. Roll holders are also available to make dispensing easier.
Absorbent Spill Socks are ideal for use under large vehicles to catch leaks and drips.
Use to absorb larger puddles, block drains and catch drips.
Absorbent Booms are larger then socks, these are ideal for shoreline clean-up of oils and can absorb a large quantity of oil at once.
For absorbing all liquid types except aggressive chemicals.
In this construction the polypropylene fibres that are blown in one pass and do not feature any sonic bond points. This makes the fabric slightly more absorbent but it also makes the sheet less durable, and more prone to linting due to lack of sonic bond points.
The Spunbound Meltblown construction like its name suggests is actually where we sonically attach a thin layer of 'no-lint' spun-bond material onto the top surface of the absorbent. This reduces the linting and considerably durability, which is important where foot traffic is concerned.
This construction features an absorbent core that is put between two non-linting, extra durable, spun-bond cover sheets. This variant is the best for strength and results in an absorbent which gives virtually no-linting at all. It is however a point of caution that foot traffic should be avoided due to its slippery construction.
