Traditional Oil Leak Pads vs. Spilltration^® Husky Polyback Oil Absorbent Pads

You know how those conventional oil-only absorbents don’t cut it when it comes to persistent leaks and drips from outdoor machinery? Well, believe it or not, we heard you loud and clear. So we talked to our customers and asked them how they were handling those outside equipment leaks. Here’s what they told us. Traditional oil leak pads:

• Don’t work well when it is raining.  The rainwater creates a barrier on the pad and carries the oil off.
• Don’t absorb much oil or fuel, especially in wet conditions.
• Degrade and turn to powder when exposed to UV light.
• Allow the leak to “bleed through” and reach the ground underneath.

After listening to our customers’ challenges, we got to work and developed the Spilltration^® Husky Polyback product line. Our polyback oil absorbent products outperform traditional oil-only absorbents and offer excellent leak management.

Spilltration^® Husky Polyback: Dual layer design instantly grabs and holds onto oil leaks and drips.

Spilltration^® Husky Polyback Oil Absorbent Pads provide maximum protection against oil leaks and drips. The dual-layer design instantly grabs and holds onto oil leaks and drips while allowing rainwater through. A leak-proof polymer backing prevents oil leaks from reaching the ground, making our polyback products the ideal solution for managing leaks and drips. Spilltration^® Husky Polyback Pads:

• are great for placing directly under smaller drips and leaks
• hold onto oils, fuels, and other petroleum products while allowing rainwater to filter through
• are UV-Resistant for long-term outdoor deployment
• have a rugged polyethylene backing that prevents the oil from “bleeding through” onto the ground
• come in an easy-to-manage size
• are eco-friendly – Spilltration^® Husky fibers are made from 100% recycled content
