Frequently Asked Questions
What types of liquids are these hydrophobic absorbent socks suitable for?
These socks are designed for oils, fuels and other hydrocarbon-based liquids. They repel water, making them suitable for applications where you need to target oil without absorbing surrounding water.
Can these absorbent socks be used outdoors?
Yes, they can be used outdoors in areas where oil or fuel spills may occur. Their hydrophobic properties help them focus on absorbing hydrocarbons, even in damp conditions. Always dispose of used socks in line with local regulations.
How do I choose between the available lengths?
Select the length that best matches the area you need to protect or surround. The shorter length is useful for small machinery and tight spaces, while the longer length is better suited to larger equipment, drum areas or extended spill barriers.
