Water-repellent absorbent socks for oil and hydrocarbons Carvel

What it is

Polypropylene absorbent socks that hold oil, lubricants and hydrocarbons but repel water, so they work both on the ground and on bodies of water and in marine environments. They are laid around drums, machinery or the edge of the leak to contain it and, once saturated, can be wrung out and reused. Available in diameters of 7.6, 13 and 20 cm and lengths from 122 to 305 cm.

Industrial absorbents are pads, rolls, pillows, booms and kits that soak up spills of oil, chemicals or water and stop them spreading.

What it is for

Used for industrial maintenance of plant and machinery, for workshop maintenance and for industrial cleaning of production areas, machinery and plant.

How to use it

Choose the absorbent for the liquid (oil-only, chemical or universal) and keep a spill kit ready near high-risk points. In the event of a spill, put on PPE, surround the spill with booms, cover the drain and lay pads and pillows from the outside towards the centre. Collect used absorbents in closed containers and dispose of them as waste according to the substance absorbed.
