Introducing the RS PRO Oil Spill Absorbent Sheets, suitable for use in cleaning up oils and oil-based fluids. These white absorbent pads are only designed to clean up oil spills and follow the industry-standard guidelines of cleaning up oil spills, preventing harm to the environment and to the industry. They are ideal for use in a wide range of environments where oils or oil-based liquids are present and are also designed to be hydrophobic, making them versatile but essential to have available as a part of your spill kit.

Oil spill sheets or general-purpose sheets are absorbent sheets or pads that are used in the clean-up of spills and leaks to avoid damage to equipment or avoiding injury through slipping. These types of pads can also be used for general maintenance applications to manage and clean drips, leaks and spills that can come from equipment or day to day tasks like transportation, dispensing or storage or liquids. There are industry-specific colours that correspond to certain liquid spills to ensure the right regulations are adhered to without harming the environment and ensuring the area is cleaned correctly to avoid injury. Oil spill pads are generally kept as part of a spill clean-up kit that can be used in:

• Industrial manufacturing


• Automotive manufacturing and repair


• Transport and logistics


• Household applications

Hydrophobic means that the product has material properties that repel water. This is ideal, especially when using white spill absorbents that are only intended for the clean-up of oil-only liquids as water will not be absorbed and the pad can also float in water.
