What are the applications and classifications of oil-absorbing mats?

Oil-absorbing felt It is made from polypropylene via the meltblown process. It can effectively absorb and retain liquids. The adsorption product is encased in nonwoven fabric made of polypropylene fibers or sewn together with thread, and then treated with a surfactant. The outer layer fabric is exceptionally strong and durable, featuring excellent capillary absorption and powerful adsorption capabilities, which enable it to draw leaked liquids into the oil-absorbing cotton, effectively preventing the spread of leaks. This material boasts advantages such as flame retardancy, dust-free properties, and no expiration date. Next, let’s take a closer look at... Oil-absorbing felt Scope of Use and Classification:

I. Scope of Use

Suitable for locations requiring the removal of leaked liquids, including military facilities, food processing industries, the energy and power sector, offshore emergency rescue operations, ports, aviation, healthcare, the petrochemical industry within the energy and power sector, environmental protection agencies, manufacturing industries, and the transportation sector.

1. Industrial manufacturing is applicable to all locations where liquid leaks or the storage and distribution of oils and chemicals may occur, including warehouse areas, around machinery and pipelines, near oil tanks and equipment, beneath trains and trucks, in the vicinity of valves, under aircraft, on workbenches, and more.

2. Energy and power sector, fire departments, spill-containment contractors, steel mills, machinery manufacturers, metal processing plants, refineries, oil companies, shipyards, chemical plants, food processing plants, paper mills, fiber-optic cable plants, cable manufacturers, petroleum/chemical storage companies, oil refineries, oil depots, environmental cleaning companies, mold factories, injection-molding plants, automobiles.

3. Marine oil spill emergency rescue, aviation, shipping, fire departments, environmental cleaning companies, emergency medical centers, laboratories, schools, hospitals, disease control centers, power supply departments, military institutions, municipal water treatment plants, public transportation, auto repair shops, medical institutions including hospitals, environmental protection bureaus, coastal defense authorities, and port terminals.

4. Other service sectors—both public and private—are also major users of absorbent cotton, including power supply departments, industrial and military institutions, municipal water treatment plants, public transportation systems, airports and aviation service providers, and automotive repair shops.

II. Functional Classification

1. Oils Oil-absorbing felt

Oil-absorbing felt Suitable for absorbing non-absorbent water, such as petroleum hydrocarbons and other hydrocarbons; oil-absorbing mats are designed for professional surface adsorption applications and can also be used to absorb oily liquids on surfaces during rainy weather. The internal filling material is polypropylene, which is both oil-absorbent and waterproof. When used on the water surface, these products do not absorb water, ensuring that batteries remain floating on the water even after leaking liquid—unlike oil alone, which will sink to the bottom. Product varieties include absorbent cotton swabs, absorbent cotton sheets, and absorbent cotton pillows, available for selection. The oil-absorbing series features white labeling, while packaging products such as leak-detection containers have clearly visible markings.

2. Chemistry Oil-absorbing felt

Chemistry Oil-absorbing felt The series is suitable for acidic, corrosive, and other chemical liquids. Chemical oil-absorbing cotton is ideal for handling leaks of hazardous liquids such as acids and corrosives. At the same time, absorbent cotton is also suitable for dealing with leaks of unknown liquids. Chemical oil products are categorized into several types, including absorbent cotton strips, absorbent cotton sheets, absorbent cotton pillows, absorbent sand, and leak-detection canisters.

3. Protection Oil-absorbing felt

The universal oil-absorbing mat is suitable for unknown liquids such as oil, water, coolants, solvents, pigments, and dyes. Its internal filler is polypropylene, and its surface has undergone activation treatment, enabling it to adsorb non-petroleum liquids (universal). The universal degreasing cotton is specifically designed for handling leaks of harmless liquids such as oil, water, coolants, and solvents.
