Oil only absorbent roll for oil based spills, 30 X 150

Oil-Only Absorbent Roll: Industrial Format 30 in x 150 ft

We also offer a selection of specialized products to complement your spill management measures.

 Absorption capacity: 133 L (35 US gal) Sold individually

This high-capacity absorbent roll is the most cost-effective solution for securing large areas during petroleum spills. Using hydrophobic technology, it absorbs oils, diesel, and gasoline while repelling water. It is ideal for intensive use in mechanical shops, hangars, and industrial sites.

• Maximum Coverage: 30-inch width allows for protecting large work zones in a single pass.

• Efficiency on Water: Because it floats, this roll is perfect for recovering oil sheens on water surfaces or in retention basins.

• Cost-Saving: Allows you to cut the exact length needed, reducing waste compared to pre-sized pads.

Technical Details for Roll

Designed for demanding environments, this roll provides consistent performance:

• Dimensions: 30 inches wide by 150 feet long.

• Material: High-density polypropylene fibers, thermally bonded for extra strength.

• Visual Identification: Its bright white color allows for immediate leak detection and clearly shows when the roll is saturated.

• Durability: Will not fall apart or fray, even when fully saturated with hydrocarbons.

Sylprotec Expert Advice: To maximize your budget, use this roll preventatively. Place it along machinery with chronic leaks. This creates a continuous barrier that is much cleaner and safer than scattering multiple small pads that may slip or move.

Special features of the 30-inch oil and hydrocarbon rolls

The roll is made of medium-weight nonwoven polypropylene, reinforced by sonic welding, which gives it a waffle-like appearance. This structure increases its tensile strength and improves its absorption capacity. The sheets are perforated along their entire length, allowing the desired amount to be easily detached depending on the size of the spill. Its 30-inch width and long length make it an effective tool for covering large areas.

Properties of spill rolls

The absorbent material is completely hydrophobic, which means it repels water and absorbs only oily liquids and petroleum derivatives. This feature makes the roll ideal for wet or marine environments. Manufactured using a melt-blown process, polypropylene offers excellent absorption capacity, light weight for easy handling, and good tear resistance. The entire roll can absorb up to 133 liters (35 US gallons) of oil and hydrocarbons.

Applications of absorbent roll for oil and hydrocarbon spills

This roll is recommended for managing leaks of engine oil, petroleum derivatives, oily solvents, or industrial lubricants. It can be used in factories, mechanical workshops, garages, industrial warehouses, or port facilities. Thanks to its ability to float and repel water, it is also suitable for use in wet areas, maritime areas, or on wet floors. Its size allows it to quickly cover a large area to contain a spill or protect a hazardous area.

Restrictions on the 30-inch by 150-foot absorbent roll

This roll should not be used when the nature of the spilled liquid is unknown. It is intended exclusively for oils and hydrocarbons. It is not suitable for corrosive or reactive products, or acidic or alkaline liquids. In addition, although it is hydrophobic, it should not be exposed to extreme temperatures that could damage the polypropylene fibers.

Maintenance and service life of absorbent rolls

No maintenance is required as long as the roll remains dry and is stored in a cool place away from direct sunlight. Once saturated, the absorbent must be disposed of in accordance with applicable hazardous materials regulations. In Quebec, this includes the Environmental Quality Act, the Hazardous Materials Regulation, and the Transportation of Hazardous Materials Regulation. It is recommended that contaminated materials be stored in an approved container prior to disposal.

FAQ Absorbent roll for oil and hydrocarbon spills

1. What is the difference between an oil absorbent roll and a universal absorbent?

An oil absorbent is hydrophobic: it repels water and absorbs only oils, grease, and hydrocarbons.

A universal absorbent absorbs almost all liquids (water, aqueous solutions, oils), but is not selective.

For oil spills, the specialized white roll is always the best choice, especially on wet ground or outdoors.

2. Is the roll suitable for large spills?

Yes. Thanks to its 30-inch width and 150-foot length, it can contain a large oil slick or protect an entire area. Its perforation also allows you to take only the amount needed for small jobs, making it versatile.

3. Does it absorb spills on water?

Yes. Its hydrophobic structure allows it to float while absorbing only the oil on the surface. This makes it ideal for docks, maritime areas, contaminated water basins, or outdoor operations in the rain.
