Marine Absorbent Pads in Eastport - Spill Response

Marine Absorbent Pads are designed to quickly soak up oil, fuel, and chemical spills on water surfaces. These spill response pads are hydrophobic, repelling water while absorbing hydrocarbons efficiently. They are essential for marine environments to prevent pollution and ensure safe cleanup operations.

Size: Typically available in 18" x 18" or 24" x 24" sheets, with options for larger rolls or custom sizes.

Grade: Universal (oil and water), oil-only, or hazmat-specific, depending on application.

Viscosity: Designed to absorb oils and liquids with viscosities ranging from light fuels (e.g., gasoline) to heavy oils (e.g., crude oil).

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

Material: Made from hydrophobic (oil-only) or polypropylene (universal) fibers, often reinforced with melt-blown layers for strength.

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

Thickness: Ranges from 3mm to 10mm for standard pads, with thicker variants for heavy-duty use.

Color: White (universal), gray (oil-only), or yellow (hazmat) for easy identification.

Chemical Resistance: Resistant to most hydrocarbons, acids, and alkalis, depending on material composition.

Decomposition: Non-biodegradable (synthetic) or biodegradable (natural fiber) options available.
