Widely used in spill response, oil absorbents materials or chemical absorbent materials are a game-changer in case of spills. Having said that it is important to employ the same with caution to minimise excessive use and products that are easy to retrieve, store and dispose. It must be used in the form of mats, booms, Chemical spill absorbing mat pads.

Oil Absorbent material comprises a wide range of biodegradable, polypropylene Meltblown Oil Absorbent Pads designed particularly in form of Chemical spill absorbing mat pads or booms to recover oil and other chemical spills. Their composition and configuration are dependent upon the material used and their application in response.

How do sorbents work? A Chemical spill absorbing mat pads to act as a sorbent must attract oil preferentially to water i.e. – it should be oleophilic and hydrophobic. Sorbent materials must act by adsorption or less commonly by absorption. Both adsorb material, as well as absorbents, incorporate the oil or other liquid to be recovered into the body of the material. Although good quality true absorbents are very few – such as Al’ SORB products from PARK Nonwoven.

What are Oil Absorbent Pads made from? Needless to say, that Oil Absorbent Pads are made up of Meltblown. This Meltblown Oil Absorption material is high in absorption capacity. As many of these oils are also highly flammable so spills need to be addressed as soon as they occur. Most of the oil absorbent pads are made with polypropylene, a thermoplastic polymer. These are technical textile and repels water and are oleophilic. Most of the oleophilic substances of which these Meltblown Oil Absorbent Pads are made up of is a relatively new addition to the industrial toolkit. It is interesting to know that the market for these oil/chemical absorbent materials is growing quickly. Good quality oil-absorbent pads or mats or even boons are made up of several layers of polypropylene so that these can clear up large amounts of oil quickly, as these materials are hydrophobic in nature, the water is left behind.
