Oil Absorbents
Oil absorbents play a critical role in managing and mitigating the impact of oil spills in various environments. From industrial settings to marine applications, these products are designed to quickly and effectively absorb oil, preventing further contamination and promoting a safer, cleaner environment.Â
Trade Environmental offers a comprehensive range of oil absorbents, including pads, pillows, and booms, tailored to meet the needs of any spill response scenario.
Types of Oil Absorbents
At Trade Environmental, we provide a diverse selection of sorbents, each engineered to address specific spill response needs:
Oil Absorbent Pads
These pads are highly effective in encapsulating oil, ensuring no leach-back to the environment. Constructed from melt-blown materials with added scrim for durability, they are ideal for a wide range of applications.
Oil Absorbent Pillows
Designed for areas with slow machinery leaks or larger spills, these pillows offer a higher absorption capacity due to their large internal surface area.Â
Absorbent Booms and Socks
These products, including mini booms and marine absorbent booms, are essential for containing and absorbing spills on land and water.Â
Marine Absorbent Booms
Specifically designed for floating on water, these booms not only absorb oil but also act as a containment barrier. Ideal for use during construction projects or in the event of accidental spills, they are an integral part of any marine spill kit.
Absorbent Wipes and Rags
After the initial spill has been addressed, absorbent wipes and rags are crucial for cleaning up any remaining residues. Our wipes are tough, durable, and effective for general purpose cleaning.
PRO TIP
Always consult MSDS and product supplier instruction when handling HAZCHEM.

Marine Absorbent Booms
Marine absorbent booms are larger and designed to attach together and float on water with two functions: containing and absorbing smaller-scale spills. Marine absorbent booms can also be used to create a containment barrier to mitigate spill risk as a precautionary measure during construction phases. Marine absorbent booms are available as singles or in bales of 4 and make up a major part of our Marine Spill Kits.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are oil absorbents, and how do they work?
Oil absorbents are materials designed to absorb and contain oil spills. They work by encapsulating the oil, preventing it from spreading and making it easier to clean up. Different types of absorbents are available for various applications, including pads, booms, and pillows.
What’s the difference between oil absorbent pads and pillows?
Oil absorbent pads are flat and typically used for smaller spills or as part of spill kits. They are easy to use and can absorb significant amounts of oil. Pillows, on the other hand, have a larger internal surface area, making them suitable for absorbing larger volumes of oil, particularly in areas with slow leaks or under machinery.
How do I choose the right oil absorbent for my needs?
The choice of oil absorbent depends on the type and volume of the spill, as well as the environment in which it occurs. For example, marine absorbent booms are ideal for water-based spills, while absorbent pads and pillows are better suited for land-based applications.
Are oil absorbents reusable?
Most oil absorbents are designed for single-use to provide maximum effectiveness in spill containment and cleanup. However, the choice between reusable and disposable absorbents depends on your specific requirements and the type of spill.
How should oil absorbents be disposed of?
Used oil absorbents must be disposed of according to local regulations. In most cases, they should be treated as hazardous waste and disposed of at a licensed facility. It’s important to consult local guidelines to remain compliant.
