Large oil absorbent bags are designed to absorb oil, fuel, diesel, petrol and other hydrocarbons. They are highly flexible and can be stuffed into drains or placed into sumps and oil interceptor pits.
Oil and fuel absorbents are made from meltblown polypropylene and are colour-coded white for easy identification. These absorbents are able to absorb up to 20 times their own weight in oil and have a fast-wicking action to clean up spills quickly. Oil and fuel absorbents are hydrophobic, which means they repel water. This makes them ideal for cleaning up oil and fuel spills in wet environments, including ponds, sumps, drains, lakes, rivers, creeks or in the rain.
- Oil absorbent bags are great for drains, sumps and oil interceptor pits at mine sites, maintenance workshops, fuel handling facilities, oil storage depots, lubricant dispensing facilities, vehicle maintenance and repair shops.
- Ideal for blocking and protecting stormwater drains.
- High capacity absorbency makes oil absorbent bags ideal for quick response mop up for larger pooled oil/fuel spills, particularly those floating on water.
- Heavy-duty, high-visibility knitted outer mesh sleeve provides tensile strength and UV protection
- Made from meltblown polypropylene with exceptional absorbency for spills, leaks and drips.
- Tough, durable, non allergenic and non-hazardous absorbent.
- Fast absorption for improved safety and productivity in the workplace.
- Can be squeezed and re-used.
- Simple and easy to use without the need for specialised PPE.
Australian Made
Our oil absorbent bags contain surface-modified polypropylene which has a high absorbent capacity. They are able to absorb up to 20 times their own weight in liquid by encapsulating the liquid within the polypropylene’s fine fibres.
Actual absorbent capacity will vary depending on liquid viscosity, specific gravity and temperature.
Large oil absorbent bags can be ordered individually or in cartons of two. Global Spill & Safety also stock small oil and fuel bags, click here to view
