SHS-CH1326 – SpilMax® Oil & Fuel Absorbent Pads (100gsm)
Lightweight Hydrophobic Pads for Small Leaks & Spill Response
Overview
SpilMax® Oil & Fuel Absorbent Pads are engineered from melt‑blown polypropylene with a dimpled, scrim‑reinforced surface for durability and absorbency. These 100gsm lightweight pads are specifically designed to absorb hydrocarbons, plant oils, seed oils, and petroleum‑based solvents while repelling water. Even when fully saturated, they float, making them ideal for use in wet environments, on waterways, marinas, and near stormwater drains.
Each pad absorbs approximately 1 litre per saturation and can be wrung out and reused multiple times during a spill cleanup, offering excellent value and reduced waste. The pads are available in a box of 200, providing a compact, cost‑effective solution for routine maintenance, small leaks, and general wiping tasks.
Key Features & Benefits
Hydrophobic & Oleophilic
Repels water while absorbing hydrocarbons – ideal for wet conditions and oil‑on‑water spills.
Floats Even When Saturated
Remains buoyant after full saturation, making it perfect for marine, marina, and stormwater applications.
High Absorbency per Pad
Each pad absorbs approximately 1 litre per saturation. Can be wrung out and reused multiple times.
Lightweight & Economical
100gsm construction provides a cost‑effective option for smaller spills, wipe‑downs, and routine maintenance.
Durable Construction
Melt‑blown polypropylene with dimples and scrim for tear resistance and extended service life.
Versatile Application
Use to capture small leaks, clean up spills, wipe down tools, create drip‑free set‑down areas, or line work benches.
Tested to ASTM F726‑06
Performance verified using the standard test method for sorbent performance.
