Absorbent Rolls
Absorbent rolls are perforated polypropylene sheets supplied on a continuous roll, allowing you to tear off exactly the amount needed. They are ideal for placing under machinery, along walkways, on benches, or anywhere frequent drips, leaks, or overspray occur. Rolls provide fast, flexible coverage for larger areas where pads are not practical.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Are rolls better than pads for large spills?
Yes — rolls cover more area and are ideal for walkways and wide spill zones.
Can these rolls be used on chemical spills?
No. Grey rolls are not suitable for acids or alkalis.
Do oil‑only rolls float on water?
Yes — white oil‑only rolls float and absorb hydrocarbons while repelling water.
How should used rolls be disposed of?
Dispose of according to the liquid absorbed and SDS guidance. Hydrocarbon‑soaked rolls = oily waste.
