FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Industrial Spill Absorbent FAQs
Find answers to some of the most common questions about choosing and using industrial spill absorbents.
What is the difference between oil-only, maintenance and chemical absorbents?
Oil-only absorbents are designed to absorb hydrocarbons such as oils, diesel and fuels while repelling water, making them ideal for outdoor and marine applications. Maintenance absorbents soak up both oil and water-based liquids, making them suitable for general industrial use. Chemical absorbents are designed for aggressive chemicals, acids and unknown liquids where additional protection is required.
Which absorbent should I use for hydraulic oil?
White oil-only absorbents are typically the best choice for hydraulic oil spills. They absorb oil quickly while repelling water, making them ideal for hydraulic maintenance, workshops, factories and outdoor equipment.
Can absorbent pads be used outdoors?
Yes. Oil-only absorbent pads are specifically designed for outdoor use because they absorb hydrocarbons while repelling rainwater, making them ideal for fuel storage areas, construction sites and marine environments.
What absorbent products are available?
Our range includes absorbent pads, rolls, socks, booms, pillows, granules and complete spill kits, available in oil-only, maintenance and chemical absorbent grades to suit a wide range of industrial applications.
How do I choose the correct spill absorbent?
The correct absorbent depends on the type of liquid, the size of the spill and the working environment. If you're unsure, our experienced team can recommend the most suitable spill control products for your application.
Are spill absorbents suitable for chemical spills?
Yes. Yellow chemical absorbents are specifically designed for hazardous chemicals, acids and unknown liquids, providing safe containment and clean-up where standard absorbents may not be suitable.
