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.
