Oil Absorbents – Hydrophobic Pads, Rolls, Ground Socks & Booms for Oil Spill Control
Our oil absorbents (also referred to as oil-only absorbents) are designed to absorb oil-based liquids while repelling water. These products are hydrophobic — they will not absorb water and are effective even in wet environments or during rainfall. Many of them also float, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.
The range includes pads, rolls, Ground Socks Oil Preferential, Ground Cushion Oil Preferential, and Marine Socks and Marine Booms. Each product is formulated to deliver fast, reliable absorption of oils, fuels, and hydrocarbons across various environments.
Choosing the Right Type
- For open water applications (e.g. lakes, rivers, streams): use our Marine Socks and Marine Booms, which are designed to float and remain effective in aquatic conditions.
- For indoor and land-based use (e.g. workshops, warehouses, around machinery): choose our Oil-Only Pads and Rolls along with Ground Socks Oil Preferential and Ground Cushion Oil Preferential. These are designed specifically for spill control on solid surfaces and should not be used on open water.
All of our pads and rolls are fully hydrophobic and water-resistant. The Ground Socks Oil Preferential and Ground Cushion Oil Preferential are oil-preferential — effective for land-based spills but not suitable for marine or open water use. For those situations, always select products from our Marine Range.
At SERPRO, we provide reliable solutions for oil spill containment — whether on land, indoors, or in open water.
