Description

Traditional oil-only absorbents were not engineered to be placed under persistent leaks and drips from outdoor machinery and equipment.

Working closely with our customers, they told us that when they put traditional oil-only absorbents under outdoor equipment leaks they:

• Do not work well when it is raining.  The rainwater creates a barrier on the pad and carries the oil off.
• Do not absorb much oil or fuel, especially in wet conditions.
• Degrade and turn to powder when exposed to UV light.
• Allow the leak to “bleed through” and reach the ground underneath.

On the other hand, Spilltration^® Polyback Pads:

• Great for placing directly under smaller drips and leaks.
• The top layer of Spilltration^® Husky Material is engineered to hold onto oils, fuels, and other petroleum products while allowing rainwater to filter through.
• UV-Resistant for long-term, outdoor deployment.
• The bottom layer is a rugged polyethylene backing, which prevents the oil from “bleeding through” onto the ground.
• Polyback Pads come in an easy-to-manage size.
• Spilltration^® Husky fibers are made from post-consumer content.
