Bio

Floating oil absorbent pads are specialized absorbent materials designed to float on water surfaces and absorb oil and hydrocarbon-based liquids while repelling water. These pads are made from materials such as polypropylene, which has a high affinity for oil and can absorb several times its weight in oil. Floating oil absorbent pads are used in spill response operations to contain and clean up oil spills on water surfaces. When deployed, the pads create a barrier that prevents the oil from spreading further, allowing for easier containment and recovery. Their ability to float ensures that they remain effective even in water environments, making them an essential tool for environmental protection in marine and aquatic settings.
