Sorbents

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

Pillows

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.

For Oil—Sorbents for oil cling to oil but let water pass through.

16" Wide—16” wide perforated rolls have perforations every 12”.

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

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

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

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

Food and Beverage 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.

Pillows

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