If you are cleaning up spills outside, you want your absorbents to become fully saturated with whatever you are cleaning up, not rain water. MEI oil-only absorbent pads are your best option for outdoor spill control & prevention. They repel water leaving their full absorbency for oil-based liquids. The grade of pad that you choose is dependent on your application and refers to the durability of the pad. We recommend a "light" pad for less rugged applications such as wiping down shelving and counter tops. "Medium" pads are the most popular grade of absorbent because of their balance of durability and price-point; they can handle most applications. "Heavy" pads are reserved for tough and rugged applications where there is a chance the pad could get torn up such as on rough surfaces or cleaning sharp tools.
Lintless Absorbents are our favourite sorbents for wiping applications. If you are tired of pieces of lint from your absorbents getting stuck in intricate machine parts then these sorbents are for you. They have zero lint because they have been laminated. Recommended for wiping applications where lint is of concern including food & beverage tasks, shop work bench jobs, and wiping down tools. Not recommended for use as a floor mat or other ground applications as the lamination causes the sorbent to be slippery and a potential slip hazard.
OIL-ONLY ABSORBS: Motor oil, hydraulic and brake fluids, gasoline, turpentine, diesel fuel, aircraft fuels, transmission fluids, cooking oil, and other oil-based liquids including paint.
