Size: Typically available in lengths of 3 ft, 5 ft, and 10 ft, with diameters ranging from 3" to 8".
Grade: Designed for oil-only absorption, repelling water while effectively soaking up hydrocarbons.
Viscosity: Suitable for low to high-viscosity oils, including diesel, gasoline, and crude oil.
Buoyancy: Highly buoyant, designed to float on water even when saturated with oil.
Material: Made from hydrophobic polypropylene or similar oleophilic materials for optimal oil absorption.
Absorption Capacity: Can absorb up to 20-30 times its weight in oil, depending on the specific product.
Temperature Resistance: Typically withstands temperatures from -40°F to 220°F (-40°C to 104°C).
Reusability: Some models are reusable after wringing out absorbed oil, while others are disposable.
Chemical Resistance: Resistant to most chemicals, acids, and solvents, ensuring durability in harsh environments.
Deployment: Flexible and easy to drape around machinery or spill areas for containment and absorption.
