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.

Perforated Pads

Perforated pads absorb small spills and can be used to wipe off equipment. They are perforated up the center.

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.

Pads

Pads are for water-based spills on floors and other hard surfaces.

Pads Sterilized by Gamma Radiation

Pads in packs of 50 are individually bagged. You don't have to store them all in your clean room, and they'll still meet clean room requirements when you need them.

Pads sterilized by gamma radiation have been through a process to reduce the level of microorganisms.

Pads are for water-based spills on floors and other hard surfaces.

Sorbents for Harsh Chemicals

Wipe up most small chemical spills, including fuming acids and strong oxidizers, from floors, work surfaces, and equipment. While these sorbents absorb virtually any chemical, they shouldn’t be used with hydrofluoric acid. They’re often kept on hand in labs and when manufacturing metal coatings and electronics. Since they don’t produce a lot of lint, these sorbents prevent static electricity. They also resist tearing.
