Product Overview
The Oil Only Absorbent Socks, White, 3" x 12', Pallet, 16 Cases (160 Socks) is a hydrophobic tubular absorbent designed to selectively absorb oil, diesel, gasoline, and hydrocarbons while repelling water. Each 3โณ diameter sock is filled with hydrophobic poly blend polypropylene filler inside a durable polypropylene mesh skin. White color coding indicates oil-only absorption for instant identification.
These oil-only socks float on water, making them ideal for retention ponds, stormwater drains, marina containment, and outdoor spill response. Deploy around equipment with petroleum leaks, across trench drains to filter oil from stormwater runoff, or in secondary containment basins. The flexible tube design conforms to irregular surfaces and creates an effective barrier against oil spread.

Oil Only Absorbent Socks, White, 3" x 12', Pallet, 16 Cases (160 Socks) | Industrial Absorbent Sock
Why Industrial Absorbent Socks Are Essential
Industrial absorbent socks are flexible, tubular absorbents engineered to contain and absorb spills in areas where flat pads and rolls can't conform โ around machinery bases, equipment legs, pipe flanges, along trench drains, and across doorways. Their 3โณ diameter tube design creates an effective physical barrier to prevent liquid spread while simultaneously absorbing the contained fluid, making them the ideal solution for perimeter containment, drip lines, and active leak management.
Engineered for Your Application
This oil-only absorbent sock features hydrophobic poly blend polypropylene filler that selectively absorbs oil, diesel, gasoline, and hydrocarbons while actively repelling water. White color coding indicates oil-only absorption.
These socks float on water, making them essential for retention ponds, stormwater drains, marina containment, and outdoor spill response. Deploy across trench drains to filter oil from stormwater runoff, around equipment with petroleum-only leaks, or in secondary containment basins where water presence would waste absorptive capacity.
Supports Regulatory Compliance
This absorbent sock supports compliance with the following regulations:
- EPA 40 CFR 112.7(c)(1) โ SPCC Plans require facilities storing oil to maintain adequate containment and cleanup materials on-site.
- OSHA 29 CFR 1910.22(a)(2) โ Walking-working surfaces must be kept clean, dry, and free of hazards including oil and fluid accumulation.
- EPA 40 CFR 122.26 โ NPDES Stormwater Management requires prevention of oil and pollutant discharge to storm drains and waterways.
- State Environmental Regulations โ Most states require facilities to prevent petroleum and chemical contamination of soil, groundwater, and surface water.
