Absorbents offer a practical, cost-effective way to contain and recover spilt liquids, making them invaluable for workplaces where there is any potential of spillages. Maintenance absorbents provide a response to general spillages in the workplace and are made of polypropylene which provides excellent absorbency for most non-aggressive industrial liquids. They are suitable for use with hydrocarbons, hydraulic fluids, coolants, mineral oil, solvents, water, blood and foodstuffs such as milk or wine.
