Absorbent pads are flat pads that are designed to absorb and contain liquid spills. They are commonly used in spill control applications to quickly and effectively soak up spills and prevent them from spreading. Absorbent pads are available in a variety of sizes and absorbency levels, and can be used on a wide range of liquids, including oils, fuels, chemicals, and water. They are often made from materials such as polypropylene, cellulose, or recycled materials, and can be disposed of after use.
