Product Information

Full details

The Ecospill Oil Only Absorbent Pads (OILPH4838) are essential for industrial and automotive environments where oil-based spills require precise containment without absorbing water. These pads are designed for safety managers and maintenance teams who need reliable, high-absorbency cleanup solutions that prioritize environmental sustainability. While they offer superior strength due to their spun bond construction, users should note that they are specifically engineered for hydrocarbons and will not effectively absorb water-based chemical spills.

FAQs

Can I use these pads to mop up a water spill?

No. These pads are oil-selective and are engineered to repel water, so they will not absorb water-based spills.

Are these pads safe for the environment?

Yes, they are made from 72% recycled materials, helping to reduce the carbon footprint of your waste management program.

How many pads are in a single box?

Each box contains 100 pads.

What is the size of each individual pad?

Each pad measures 41cm x 46cm.

Can I reuse these pads after washing them?

No. These are designed for single-use applications and should be disposed of in accordance with hazardous waste regulations once saturated.

Do these pads contain any chemicals?

The pads themselves are inert, but once they absorb oil, the entire unit must be treated as hazardous waste.

Troubleshooting

The pad is not absorbing the liquid.

Verify the spill is oil-based. These pads are oil-only and will not absorb water or some synthetic water-based coolants.

The pad tears during application.

Ensure the surface is not excessively jagged. While the spun bond layer is durable, extremely sharp metal burrs can puncture the material.

The pad becomes heavy and drips while being moved.

Once saturated, slide a non-porous sheet or cardboard underneath the pad before lifting to transfer it to a disposal bag.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Repels water to focus capacity solely on hydrocarbons
  • High structural integrity from the spun bond top layer
  • Contains 72% recycled content for green compliance
  • Prevents dangerous slips in oily environments
  • Generous 100-count pack size

Cons

  • Not suitable for water-based chemical spills
  • Single-use product requires constant replenishment
  • Larger spill areas may require multiple pads overlapping

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: keep the pack in a dry, accessible storage area or integrated into a spill response kit. When a spill occurs, unfold a pad and lay it flat over the affected area, ensuring the entire spill is covered. For larger spills, overlap the edges of the pads to prevent gaps.

Compatibility is limited to oil-based fluids, including motor oil, diesel, gasoline, and hydraulic fluid. Do not use these on acids or caustic liquids. Care involves storing unused pads in their original plastic packaging to keep them clean and dry. Once the pads have absorbed hazardous fluids, dispose of them immediately following your site's specific hazardous waste disposal protocols; do not attempt to wring them out and reuse them.
