Description

Active Oil Absorbent Pads

Active Oil Absorbent Pads are manufactured from a base of highly absorbent meltblown polypropylene. The meltblown fibres are then ultrasonically bonded creating a dimpled surface. This bonding creates a reduced linting product with improved tensile strength. The high loft and open sided nature of the material provides for rapid capillary action and excellent absorbent capacity and retention.

The Active Oil Absorbent Pads are designed for use in absorbing hydrocarbon based spills, particularly from watercourses including rivers, brooks and streams. Being hydrophobic they repel water and will float making for easy retrieval.

The Active Oil Absorbent Pads are also excellent for use in and around the workplace to soak up drips, leaks and spills of hydrocarbon based fluids from machinery and floor ways. They are also ideal for removing oil contaminants that has collected in drains, ponds, puddles, tanks and bunds.

Benefits

• 100% Polypropylene.
• High strength even when fully saturated.
• High loft meltblown polypropylene.
• Rapid and excellent absorption capacity and fluid retention.
• For hydrocarbon based spills.
• Hydrophobic, positively repels water.
• Non-toxic to users and to aquatic life.
