Application scope of oil-absorbing felt

　　As its name suggests, oil-absorbing felt is designed specifically to absorb oil. However, the oil-absorbing felts currently in use are mostly made from meltblown polypropylene (PP) material and produced through a special manufacturing process. These felts exhibit unique liquid-repelling properties—absorbing only oil while repelling water and other liquids. Today, they have become essential backup supplies for emergency response units engaged in marine pollution prevention and control, as well as critical components for oil booms, oil dispersants, oil containment tanks, and other oil spill prevention and control equipment, playing a vital role in handling oil spill incidents. So now, let’s take a closer look at the applicable scope of oil-absorbing felt.

　　In daily production processes, leaks frequently occur in mechanical equipment, oil drums and tanks, chemical containers, and laboratories. After oil and chemical spills, a commonly used method for handling leaks is universal oil-absorbing felt. This material helps keep factories and workplaces clean and dry, prevents oil and chemicals from entering the sewer system, and avoids spills into rivers, lakes, and oceans.

　　Oil-absorbing felt, which can absorb oil and grease amounts several times its own weight, is burned after use. However, the incineration process itself does not develop in a way that prevents secondary environmental pollution. To clean up, contain, and prevent potential leaks of oils and chemicals in areas such as manufacturing facilities, transportation industries, petrochemical plants, maritime emergency response operations, ports, aviation, fire services, healthcare institutions, energy and power sectors, environmental protection agencies, and food processing industries—areas where such leaks are unlikely to occur—this material has been extensively studied.

　　Application range of oil-absorbing felt:

　　1. In the industrial manufacturing sector, oil-absorbing felt is suitable for use in all areas where liquid leaks may occur or where oils and chemicals are stored and distributed—such as warehouse areas, around machinery and pipelines, near fuel tanks and equipment, under trains and trucks, near valves, under aircraft, and beneath workbenches.

　　2. Applications of oil-absorbing felt include automotive, aerospace, and railway manufacturing plants, plastic factories, injection molding plants, mold-making facilities, steel mills, machinery factories, metal processing plants, refineries, petroleum companies, shipyards, chemical plants, food processing plants, paper mills, fiber-optic cable plants, cable manufacturers, and petroleum/chemical industries.

　　3. Emergency response to marine oil spills, port terminals, coast guard, vessels, fire departments, environmental cleaning companies, emergency centers, laboratories, schools, hospitals, disease control centers, power supply departments, military units, municipal water treatment plants, public transportation, auto repair shops, medical institutions including hospitals, environmental protection bureaus, aviation, and air transport.

　　4. Other service industries. The public and private service sectors are also major users of oil-absorbing felt. Power supply departments, military agencies, municipal water treatment plants, public transportation systems, airports, and aviation service organizations all use it for vehicle maintenance.
