Knowing the difference between general purpose pads, booms, pillows and rolls
General purpose absorbent pads, also known as universal pads or all-liquid pads, are versatile absorbents that can handle a variety of spills. They are designed to absorb a wide range of liquids, including water, oil, and chemicals. These pads are highly absorbent and can be used on both hard and soft surfaces. They are sold in packs of 50 or 100 and can cover a large surface area of a spill.
Absorbent booms (often referred to as absorbent socks or snakes), on the other hand, are cylindrical barriers used to contain and absorb spills in larger areas. They are often used to surround spills or to create temporary dikes.
Absorbent pillows are smaller, more compact versions of booms. They are designed to absorb larger pools of liquid or spills in tight spaces or around machinery. Pillows are often used to soak up drips and leaks in hard-to-reach areas.
Absorbent rolls are continuous lengths of absorbent material that can be cut to size as needed. They are versatile and can be used to create custom-sized pads, wipes, or other absorbent products. Rolls are often used for large-scale spill cleanup or for lining shelves and workbenches.
When choosing between these different absorbent products, it's important to consider the specific needs of the spill or leak, the size of the affected area, and the type of liquid being absorbed.
