Oil spill pad
Two-layer welded sorbent sheet — the workhorse of the line.

Oil spill sock — POS‑03S‑04
Containment first, absorption while it sits there. A flexible sorbent tube that bends around machine bases, doorways and drains — it stops the spill travelling, then takes the oil up out of it.
Inside the sock
How it is built
A sock is a sleeve with our own sorbent filling inside it — POS‑03S‑04. Tap a part to see what it does.
- Outer sleeve — the flexible tube that holds the shape and lets the oil through
- Bends around machine bases, doorways and drains — a pad cannot make that line
- Holds the filling in place while it loads up
- Tied ends — socks lay end to end to close a perimeter
- 3″ diameter × 4′ long as standard, 12 per box
- Sorbent filling — our own meltblown media, loose-filled inside the sleeve
- Same oil-only polypropylene sorbent as the pads — made on our line, not bought in
- Loose fill lets the sock squash into corners and still take up oil
- Oleophilic and hydrophobic: takes the hydrocarbon, leaves the water
- Absorbs while it contains — the perimeter is doing work the whole time

What it is
A sock does a job a pad cannot: it makes a line. Laid end to end it rings a machine, blocks a doorway or fences off a floor drain, so a spreading spill stops where you put the sock instead of where the floor slopes.
It is the same oil-only meltblown sorbent, filled into a flexible tube — so while it is holding the perimeter it is also absorbing what reaches it, and it can be curved into whatever shape the equipment layout demands.

How to use it
- Lay socks end to end to close the perimeter — overlap the ends at corners.

- Use pads inside the ring to take up the pooled oil.
- Replace saturated socks and dispose of them in line with your local regulations.
