Main uses and characteristics of oil-absorbing mats

Oil-absorbing mats made of oil-like materials are suitable for absorbing non-absorbent liquids such as petroleum, hydrogen gas, and hydrocarbons. Oil-absorbing mats can be used to absorb surface contaminants and are also effective in capturing oily liquids on surfaces during rainfall. The internal filling material is polypropylene, which provides excellent oil absorption and water resistance. When used on the water surface, these products do not absorb water; therefore, even after a leak occurs, they will remain floating on the water’s surface rather than sinking to the bottom (only the oil itself will sink). Product categories include degreasing cotton strips, degreasing cotton pads, and degreasing cotton pillows. The oil-absorbing series are marked in white, while packaging products such as spill-containment buckets feature clearly visible markings.

  I. Main uses of industrial oil-absorbing felt:


  1. Marine oil-absorbing mats are used for industrial applications such as oil absorption, ink absorption, sound absorption, noise reduction, vibration damping, and sealing. They find wide-ranging applications in mechanical seal oil absorption and high-temperature resistance, dust removal and decontamination in fish ponds, and water-retention dams in reservoirs.


  2. Heat preservation, thermal insulation, high-temperature resistance, flame retardancy, and self-extinguishing.


  3. Can be widely used for mattresses, floor mats, and more.

  6. Oil-absorbing mats can be widely used as mattress pads, floor mats, and more.


  7. Oil-absorbing mats are used in all areas where liquid leaks may occur or where oil and chemicals are stored and handled, including warehouse areas, around machinery and pipelines, near oil tanks and equipment, under trains and trucks, near valves, under aircraft, on workbenches, and more.


  8. Automobile, aircraft, and railway manufacturers; plastic plants; injection molding plants; mold factories; steel mills; machinery manufacturers; metal processing plants; oil refineries; petroleum companies; shipyards; chemical plants; food processing plants; paper mills; fiber-optic cable plants; cable manufacturing plants; petroleum/chemical storage companies; oil refineries; oil depots; environmental cleaning companies; spill prevention contractors; fire departments; energy sector.


  9. Oil-absorbing mats can be used for emergency oil spill response at sea, in port terminals, coastal defense areas, on shipping vessels, by fire departments, environmental cleaning companies, laboratories, schools, hospitals, power supply departments, military institutions, municipal water treatment plants, public transportation systems, auto repair shops, medical facilities such as hospitals, environmental protection bureaus, and aviation fire services.


  10. Other service industries—both public and private—are also major users of oil-absorbing mats. These include power supply departments, industrial and military institutions, municipal water treatment plants, public transportation systems, airports, and aviation service providers that repair vehicles.


  II. Product Characteristics of Oil-Absorbing Felt:


   Oil-absorbing felt It is a versatile absorbent cotton. After being dehydrated, degreased, and treated with surfactants and other fibers, it can effectively absorb both oil and water. It is suitable for applications such as oil-water separation in mechanical maintenance, automotive repair, and factory workshops. This oil-absorbing mat is applicable to a wide range of unknown liquids—including oils, water, coolants, solvents, pigments, dyes, and even hazardous chemicals. Typically, general-purpose degreasing cotton is gray in color; some high-performance products are non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and can be incinerated after use without releasing harmful or toxic gases.
