Absorption materials for fast and effective spill control

Absorption materials are indispensable for quickly and effectively absorbing spilled liquids such as oil, chemicals and water. They prevent hazardous substances from spreading, protect the environment and ensure a safe working environment. The range includes absorption pads, rolls, socks and sheets for various liquid types and situations.

Depending on the liquid, there are universal absorption materials (oil and water), oil-only variants (oil only, floating on water) and chemical absorbents (for aggressive liquids).

Technical features of absorption materials

Absorption materials are made from polypropylene or natural fibres and have a high absorption capacity per kilogram of weight. They are lightweight, easy to handle and safe to dispose of as hazardous waste in compliance with applicable regulations.

Absorption socks are ideal for containing leaks around machines and at drain points. Absorption pads are suitable for absorbing larger quantities of spilled liquid.

Applications of absorption materials

Absorption materials are used in industry, mechanical engineering, transport and at oil storage facilities for controlling leaks and spills. They are also suitable as an emergency measure at environmental incidents.

Combine with absorption systems for a complete spill management solution.

What is the difference between universal and oil-only absorption materials?

Universal absorption materials absorb both oil and water. Oil-only materials absorb only oil and are hydrophobic, floating on water and ideal for water surfaces.

Are there absorption materials for chemicals?

Yes, chemical absorbents are specially designed for aggressive liquids such as acids, bases and solvents. They are chemically resistant and safe to use with hazardous substances.

How are used absorption materials disposed of?

Used absorption materials containing hazardous substances are disposed of as hazardous waste in compliance with applicable regulations.

What is the absorption capacity of absorption materials?

This varies by type and format. Absorption pads typically absorb 0.5 to 5 litres each, socks up to 20 litres depending on dimensions.

Are absorption materials reusable?

Most absorption materials are single-use. Wringing-out reusable variants are also available for specific applications.
