Not all spills should be cleaned using the same absorbent. Choosing the right type helps your team respond faster, reduce waste and prevent liquids from spreading across floors, drains and work areas.
Universal Absorbents
Universal absorbents are suitable for common workplace liquids such as water, oils, coolants, solvents and other non-corrosive fluids.
They are commonly used in warehouses, workshops, manufacturing plants and maintenance areas. Available forms include pads, rolls, socks, booms and pillows.
Oil-Only Absorbents
Oil-only absorbents soak up oil, fuel and other hydrocarbon-based liquids while repelling water.
They are ideal for outdoor areas, automotive facilities, fuel storage locations, marine environments and oil spills on water.
Chemical Absorbents
Chemical or HazMat absorbents are designed for acids, bases, corrosive chemicals and unknown hazardous liquids.
They are commonly used in laboratories, chemical storage areas, pharmaceutical facilities and industrial plants. These absorbents help contain chemicals but do not neutralize them.
Which Absorbent Format Should You Use?
Pads and rolls are best for drips, surface cleanup and covering larger areas.
Socks and booms help surround spills and stop liquids from spreading.
Pillows provide higher absorbency for persistent leaks and larger spills.
Complete Your Spill Response Setup
Spill kits combine absorbents and containment materials in one accessible package. They are available for universal, oil-only and chemical applications in different capacities.
For drum and chemical storage areas, spill pallets provide secondary containment by collecting leaks before they reach the floor.
Choose the right spill control solution based on the liquid type, expected spill volume and work environment.
