SHS-CH1515 – SpilMax® Oil & Fuel Absorbent Pillow (350mm x 380mm x 50mm)
High‑Capacity Hydrophobic Pillow for Drip Containment & Flowing Liquid Control
Overview
SpilMax® Oil & Fuel Absorbent Pillows are designed for high‑efficiency absorption of hydrocarbons, plant oils, seed oils, petrochemicals, and petroleum‑based solvents while repelling water. Each pillow is made from durable polypropylene and can absorb up to 4 litres per saturation. Even when fully saturated, the pillows float, making them ideal for use in wet environments, on water, or near stormwater drains.
Commonly used to catch drips under leaking equipment or machinery, these pillows can also be stuffed into areas where liquids are flowing as a temporary measure until the flow can be stopped. They are a versatile addition to any spill kit or maintenance area. Tested to ASTM F726‑06 for reliable performance.
Key Features & Benefits
High Absorbency
Each pillow absorbs up to 4 litres per saturation – ideal for catching drips and containing small flows.
Hydrophobic & Oleophilic
Repels water while absorbing hydrocarbons – perfect for use in wet environments and on water.
Floats Even When Saturated
Remains buoyant after full saturation, making it suitable for marine, marina, and stormwater applications.
Versatile Use
Place under leaking equipment to capture drips, or stuff into flowing liquid paths as a temporary dam.
Durable Construction
Made from high‑quality polypropylene with a tough outer skin to resist tearing and maintain shape.
Tested to ASTM F726‑06
Performance verified using the standard test method for sorbent performance.
