Bilge Oil Absorbent Pad Refills are designed to quickly soak up oil and hydrocarbon spills in marine and industrial settings. These pads are highly absorbent, reusable, and ideal for spill response in bilges, machinery spaces, and workshops. Made from hydrophobic materials, they repel water while effectively trapping oils and fuels.

Size: Typically available in 18" x 18" or 24" x 24" sheets, with thickness ranging from 5mm to 10mm.

Grade: Universal or oil-specific (hydrocarbon-only) absorbency, suitable for bilge and spill response applications.

Viscosity: Effective on low to high-viscosity oils, including diesel, motor oil, and hydraulic fluids.

Buoyancy: Floats on water even when saturated, preventing sinking and facilitating easy retrieval.

Material: Made from melt-blown polypropylene or hydrophobic/oleophilic materials for selective oil absorption.

Absorption Capacity: Can hold 15-25 times its weight in oil, depending on grade and thickness.

Color: Usually white or gray for universal pads, while oil-only pads may be white or blue.

Chemical Resistance: Resistant to most hydrocarbons, solvents, and water-based fluids (if universal).

Temperature Resistance: Stable in temperatures ranging from -40°F to 250°F (-40°C to 120°C).

Reusability: Some high-grade pads can be wrung out and reused for minor spills.

Disposal: Compliant with EPA and OSHA standards for hazardous waste disposal when saturated.
