How oil absorbent pads are used
- Drips and leaks: place pads under equipment, valves and fittings to catch slow leaks.
- Spill cleanup: lay pads on a spill inside a sock or boom perimeter to soak it up.
- Wipe-downs: clean oily tools, parts and surfaces during maintenance.
- Spills on water: oil-only pads float and absorb oil and sheen without taking on water.
Oil-only or universal pads?
Choose oil-only pads for oil, fuel and hydraulic fluid, especially outdoors or on water, since they repel water. Choose universal pads for mixed fluids like oil, coolant and water-based liquids in shops and plants. Many sites stock both.
For a complete response, pair pads with absorbent socks to contain the spill and oil absorbent pillows for pooled liquid.

Oil Absorbent Pad Questions
What are oil absorbent pads?
Oil absorbent pads are flat sheets of sorbent that soak up oil and fuel. They're used to catch drips, wipe down equipment and clean up spills.
What size are your absorbent pads, and how many come in a bale?
Our pads are 15"×18" and ship 100 per bale, in oil-only and universal versions.
What's the difference between oil-only and universal pads?
Oil-only pads absorb oil and fuel and repel water. Universal pads absorb oil, coolant and water-based fluids. Use oil-only outdoors or on water, and universal for mixed fluids indoors.
Do oil-only pads float on water?
Yes. Oil-only pads repel water, so they float and absorb oil and sheen from the surface without filling up with water.
How much do your absorbent pads absorb?
Absorbency depends on the pad type and the liquid. Ask us for test data for the pad you're considering.
When should I use pads instead of socks or pillows?
Use pads for flat surfaces, wipe-downs and the inside of a contained spill. Use socks to surround a spill and pillows for pooled liquid, sumps and spots under equipment.
Are these the same pads that come in your spill kits?
Yes. Our standard spill kit includes five universal and five oil-only 15"×18" pads, so you can restock kits from the same bales.
How do I dispose of used absorbent pads?
Used pads take on the hazards of what they absorbed. Bag them and dispose of them according to local regulations. SDS and disposal guidance are available on request.
Is there a minimum order for absorbent pads?
No. There's no minimum on standard SKUs, from a single bale to a full truckload, and incident orders have shipped on 24 hours' notice.
