ESCO Absorbers
Absorbents are cleaning implements used to absorb liquids such as oil and solvent. They are used for ordinary cleaning work and prevention of oil leakage around machines in factories as well as in emergencies such as for recovering oil that leaked into rivers and the like. The main type is sheets that can be cut to the length used, and there are also tube types that can bend freely as well as pillow types and flake types, and the shape can be selected to fit the place where it is used. Materials include natural fiber and polypropylene. There are also products that can be used repeatedly by wringing them out. The main type of absorbent can only absorb oil, but a vast array of liquids can be absorbed with types including those that can be used for both oil and water, and those that can be used for acid and alkaline. For that reason, the type used must be selected to fit the location used and application.
