Sorbents

Pillow

Sock

Absorb spilled liquids and keep them from spreading. Do not use these sorbents with aggressive liquids, such as hydrochloric acid.

Sorbents for oil cling to oil but let water pass through.

Sorbents for chemicals, oil, and water are also known as universal sorbents.

Pillows are thicker than pads, so they soak up more liquid. They’re good for drips and in corners.

Socks wrap around irregular surfaces, corners, and machines. Socks with connector clips can be linked together.

Outdoor Sorbents

Keep oil out of soil and fuel out of drains. These sorbents cling to oil but let water pass through, so you can leave them outside for weeks to catch oil spills and leaks. More rugged than typical sorbents, these sorbents won’t break down when exposed to sunlight, and gravel and debris won’t pierce them.

Pillows are thicker than pads, so they soak up more liquid. Use them under drips and in corners.

Socks are flexible. Wrap them around corners, equipment, or storm drains.

Booms won’t burst even if you drive over them with a forklift. Weigh booms down with rebar, so they won’t roll out of place.

Food Industry Sorbents

Soak up spills and leaks in your food processing plant with confidence. These sorbents are NSF registered J1, so they're safe for use in facilities that work with food. The minerals in the sorbents absorb chemicals, oil, and water, but should not be used with hydrofluoric acid.

Wrap socks around spills to form a perimeter and prevent the spill from spreading.

Pillows have a greater spill capacity than socks. Use them to soak up puddles, or place them under persistent drips.

Recycled Sorbents

Made from 80% recycled newsprint and cellulose, these sorbents are more absorbent than polypropylene sorbents. Note: Not for use with aggressive liquids, such as hydrochloric acid.

Socks are shaped to wrap around irregular surfaces, corners, and machines

Clean Room Sorbents

Absorb spills, catch drips, and control leaks in clean room environments. These sorbents are cleaned and bagged and don’t release as much lint or dust as other sorbents. Clean room rating indicates the acceptable level of contaminants; the lower the rating, the cleaner the environment. Not for use with aggressive liquids, such as hydrochloric acid.

Pillows are thicker than pads, so they soak up more liquid. Use them for chemical- and oil-based spills.

Wrap socks around irregular surfaces, corners, and machines to absorb chemical- and oil-based spills.

Spill-Control Sorbent Kits

Bag

Pouch

Drum

Cabinet

Mobile Drum

Mobile Tote

These kits have everything you need when a spill occurs, even bags for disposal.

Kits for oil soak up oil and fuel while repelling water.

Kits for chemicals, oil, and water are also known as universal kits. Use them to pick up acid, base, oil, fuel, and water spills. They are not for use with hydrofluoric acid.

Hang pouches from forklifts and equipment. The pouches are waterproof and have a buckle strap to keep contents contained.

Drum kits act as spill control stations, while mobile drum and tote kits roll wherever a spill occurs. The 95-gal. drums can double as salvage drums for leaking 55-gal. drums; 30-gal. drums can serve as salvage drums for 15- and 16-gal. drums.

Cabinet kits mount on the wall and are high-visibility yellow so they’re easy to spot.
