Universal absorbent socks are versatile, cylindrical barriers designed to contain and absorb a wide range of industrial fluids, including:
- Oils: Hydraulic fluid, diesel, lubricants
- Water-based liquids: Coolants, solvents, mild acids (pH 4-10)
- Chemicals: Non-aggressive fluids like antifreeze and detergents
Engineered with triple-layer hydrophobic polypropylene, these socks provide rapid absorption (1.5L/sec) while creating physical dikes around spill zones. Ideal for facilities requiring flexible, multi-hazard spill control solutions.
