Absorbent socks create a barrier to keep spills from spreading. Their long shape means they are also known as absorbent snakes or absorbent ropes. The best spill absorbent socks contain the spill and absorb it to make the clean-up faster and more effective. Simply place the sock around machinery or other equipment to contain leaks and spills before they spread and create a hazard.
Absorbent socks come in various types depending on the liquid type and capacity of the spill. Our range of PIG absorbent socks includes: Universal Absorbent Socks which will soak up water, oil, coolants and solvents; Oil Absorbent Socks which are designed for absorbing oils and oil-based liquids (such as petrol and fuels) but NOT water; and specialised Chemical Absorbent Socks for hazardous acids, bases and unknown liquids.
Socks and booms both stop a spill from spreading – the difference is in their size. Socks are ideal for use indoors to catch drips and spills around machinery. Spill control booms are ideal for stopping larger spills from spreading on land and water. That’s why our PIG absorbent booms are much longer and larger in diameter than socks. General purpose absorbent booms can be used with oils, solvents, water or coolants (also known as water absorbing booms). While oil spill booms and absorb oil-based liquids that have spilled in a body of water, preventing damage to the environment and your bottom line.
Yes. You can do this with the full confidence that the boom will only absorb and retain oils and oil-based liquids (including lubricants and fuels). Oil spill containment booms are effective because they don’t soak up water and will float when full.
