OVERVIEW

Industrial-Grade Oil Spill Control

The Walter 55B052 (WP100H) Sorbent Pads are a critical component of any industrial maintenance and spill control strategy. Part of the Walter Spill-Mates line, these pads are engineered from high-quality meltblown polypropylene, specifically treated to be oleophilic (oil-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling). This unique chemical property allows the pads to selectively absorb petroleum-based fluids such as motor oil, diesel, gasoline, hydraulic fluid, and kerosene, while completely ignoring water. This makes them exceptionally efficient for outdoor applications or in environments where water is present, as they will float on the surface of water even when completely saturated with oil.

Designated as "Heavy Weight," these pads feature a thicker construction than standard economy pads, providing a higher fluid retention capacity per unit. The surface is dimpled and bonded, a process that not only increases the surface area for rapid wicking but also reinforces the structural integrity of the pad. This ensures that the pad remains intact and does not lint or fall apart, even when heavy with absorbed fluid. Ideal for MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) professionals, the 55B052 pads help facilities maintain compliance with environmental regulations by providing a reliable method for containing and cleaning up hazardous oil spills before they can spread.

FAQ

These pads are designed to absorb petroleum-based fluids including oil, gasoline, diesel, hydraulic fluid, and kerosene.

No, they are hydrophobic, meaning they repel water. This allows them to be used to clean oil off the surface of water.

Yes, the Walter 55B052 pads will float on water indefinitely, even when they are fully saturated with oil.

The SKU 55B052 (WP100H) typically comes with 100 heavy-weight pads per case.

Only if the coolant is oil-based. For water-soluble coolants, you would need a Universal or Hazmat pad, as these Oil-Only pads will repel water-based fluids.

Used pads should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations governing the specific fluid they have absorbed. If they absorbed hazardous oil, they must be treated as hazardous waste.

Pads are cleaner, do not create abrasive dust that can damage welding machines, are faster to deploy, and are easier to dispose of than heavy, messy clay granules.
