Oil Absorbent Pads, Bonded, Light Weight, 200 pack

Oil-only absorbent pads are designed to absorb petroleum-based liquids including motor oil, hydraulic fluid, diesel fuel, gasoline, kerosene, jet fuel, and other hydrocarbons. They repel water, making them ideal for separating oil from water on wet surfaces or during outdoor rain events.

Heavy weight pads are the thickest and most absorbent, best for large spills and high-traffic areas where durability matters. Medium weight pads offer a balance of absorbency and cost, ideal for routine maintenance and moderate spills. Light weight pads are the most economical option for light-duty drip maintenance, parts cleaning, and wiping tasks where pads are changed frequently.

Bonded absorbent pads are thermally bonded (heat-sealed) on both sides, which makes them lint-free and tear-resistant. This construction prevents the polypropylene fibers from shedding, which is important in manufacturing environments, around machinery, and anywhere loose fibers could clog drains or contaminate processes.

Yes. Oil-only absorbent pads float on water and selectively absorb only petroleum-based liquids while repelling water. This makes them perfect for skimming oil sheens from retention ponds, stormwater drains, sumps, and any application where oil must be separated from water.

Absorbency varies by weight class. Heavy weight pads absorb approximately 20-25 oz per pad, medium weight absorbs approximately 16-20 oz, and light weight absorbs approximately 12-16 oz. Actual capacity depends on the viscosity of the liquid being absorbed.

Standard oil absorbent pads measure 15 inches x 19 inches and fit in standard 55-gallon drum top dispensers. We also offer 30x30-inch large-format pads in our heavy weight option for covering larger areas with fewer pads.

Pads are pre-cut individual sheets ideal for placing under drips, lining drip pans, wiping up spills, and quick response. Rolls are continuous material (typically 150 feet long) that can be cut to any length, making them better for covering large areas, lining workbenches, or placing in aisles. Rolls are more cost-effective per square foot for large-area coverage.

Yes. Our oil-only absorbent pads help you stay compliant with EPA SPCC (Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure) requirements and support OSHA workplace safety standards under 29 CFR 1910. They are an essential component of compliant spill response plans at facilities that store or handle petroleum products.

Oil-only absorbent pads are white. This industry-standard color coding makes it easy to identify the pad type at a glance and also helps you visually monitor saturation levels — the white material darkens as it absorbs oil.

No. Oil-only pads are designed exclusively for petroleum-based liquids. For chemical spills involving acids, bases, or aggressive solvents, you need yellow HazMat absorbent pads. For mixed liquids including water-based fluids, use gray universal absorbent pads.

Used oil-only absorbent pads should be disposed of according to your facility's waste management plan and local regulations. In most cases, oil-saturated pads are classified as non-hazardous solid waste if the absorbed oil is non-hazardous. Place used pads in appropriate waste containers and follow your SPCC plan's disposal requirements.

Oil absorbent pads are widely used across automotive shops, oil refineries, power plants, marine facilities, manufacturing floors, military bases, construction sites, trucking facilities, and any operation involving petroleum products. They are also common in stormwater management around fuel storage areas.

Yes. Our standard 15x19-inch oil absorbent pads are specifically sized to fit standard 55-gallon drum top dispensers (drum toppers). Simply place the drum topper on any open-head drum and stack pads inside for convenient grab-and-go spill response.
