Organic absorbent pads are made from an absorbent cotton fabric and will soak up oil, fuel, diesel, petrol and other hydrocarbons only whilst repelling water. The 100% natural materials in our organic range allow the used absorbents to be land-farmed (if permitted).
Organic pads are ideal for maintenance and minesite workshops, vehicle repair shops, fuel and oil handling, storage and dispensing facilities, service stations and transport depots.
Organic absorbent pads are able to absorb up to 25 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.
- Organic absorbent pads are great for bilge and floor mop up in ships, boats, naval and service vessels, oil rigs and floating platforms.
- Made from cotton produced from a sustainable resource, this pad is a biodegradable and organic absorbent making it ideal for use when land farming of used absorbents is required.
- The cotton organic absorbent pads feature exceptional oil/fuel absorbency for spills, leaks and drips.
- Organic absorbent pads rapidly absorb spills for improved safety and productivity in the workplace.
- Excellent water-repellent characteristics (hydrophobic) so are suitable to use in the rain or float on water to absorb oil and fuel only.
- Rapidly absorbs hydrocarbon spills for improved safety and productivity in the workplace.
- Can be squeezed and re-used.
- Simple, lightweight and easy to use without the need for specialised PPE.
