Chaussettes absorbantes
Flexible absorbent socks that wrap around equipment, drains and spills to stop them from spreading, in the exact 3"×4' size standard spill kits call for.
Absorbent socks, also called spill socks, are the workhorse of everyday spill control. They conform around machine bases, pipework and drains to contain leaks and absorb them at the same time. Our 3"×4' socks are an exact fit for standard spill kit bills of materials, and longer 8, 12 and 20-foot socks cover bigger perimeters.
- Absorbs up to ~1.5 gal per 3"×4' sock, ~45 gal per 30-count box
- Universal, oil-only, hazmat, water sock and flat sock options
- Exact 3"×4' fit for standard spill kit BOMs
- Recycled polypropylene blend with sewn seams
- 30 per box standard, 20–25 boxes per skid

Where absorbent socks are used
- Machine leaks: wrap socks around the base of presses, compressors and hydraulic equipment.
- Drains: ring floor drains and catch basins to keep spills out of the sewer.
- Vehicle spill kits: the 3"×4' sock is the standard size in vehicle and shop kits.
- Spill response: lay socks around a fresh spill first, then absorb inside the perimeter with oil absorbent pads.
Absorbent sock sizing
Use 3"×4' socks for most leaks, drains and kits. Overlap the ends of two socks to cover a longer edge. For long perimeters, such as around a tank, a row of drums or a loading dock door, use 8-foot, 12-foot or 20-foot socks so there are fewer joints for liquid to escape through. For spills on open water, step up to oil spill containment booms.
Choosing a sock type
Universal socks absorb oil, coolant and water-based fluids. Oil absorbent socks (oil-only) absorb oil and fuel while repelling water, so they work outdoors and in wet areas. Hazmat socks are for aggressive chemicals. Water socks handle water and water-based leaks, and flat socks offer a low profile along floors and doorways.

Absorbent Sock Questions
What size are standard absorbent socks?
The standard absorbent sock is 3 inches in diameter and 4 feet long. That's the size most spill kit bills of materials call for, and our 3"×4' socks are an exact fit.
How much does an absorbent sock absorb?
Each 3"×4' sock absorbs up to about 1.5 gal, so a standard 30-count box absorbs about 45 gal.
When should I use longer socks instead of 4-foot socks?
Use 8-foot, 12-foot or 20-foot socks for long perimeters, such as around tanks, drum rows or doorways. One long sock leaves fewer joints than several short ones, so there are fewer gaps for liquid to slip through.
What's the difference between absorbent socks and absorbent booms?
Socks are smaller (3 inches across) and flexible, built for leaks, drains and spills on land. Booms are 5 or 8 inches across and built to float, contain and absorb larger spills, especially on water.
What are oil absorbent socks used for?
Oil absorbent socks are the oil-only version. They soak up oil and fuel while repelling water, which makes them ideal for machine leaks, vehicle kits, outdoor spills and wet floors.
What are water socks and flat socks?
Water socks are made for water and water-based leaks. Flat socks are a low-profile sock format that sits close to the floor, packed 25 per case. Ask us which suits your application.
Are spill socks the same as absorbent socks?
Yes. Spill socks, absorbent socks and sorbent socks all describe the same product: a flexible tube of absorbent placed around or across a spill to contain and absorb it.
How many socks come in a box and on a pallet?
3"×4' socks ship 12 to 40 per box depending on type, with 30 per box as standard. Boxes ship 20 to 25 per skid, and there's no minimum order on standard SKUs.
What are your absorbent socks made from?
They're made from a recycled polypropylene blend in a spunbond polypropylene scrim with sewn seams, manufactured in Campbellford, Ontario, with bilingual EN/FR labels.
