Spill Control and Absorbents for Containment and Cleanup
Spill control and absorbents cover the pads, rolls, socks, booms and spill kits a facility uses to contain and clean up liquid releases. The catalog stocks universal, oil-only and hazmat absorbents along with ready-to-deploy spill kits so environmental health and safety and maintenance teams can meet containment and response requirements.
Spill Control Formats Stocked
- Absorbent pads and rolls - Bonded polypropylene pads and perforated rolls in universal, oil-only and hazmat grades for wipe-up and under-equipment coverage from New Pig and Brady SPC.
- Socks and booms - Absorbent socks and booms that ring a spill or line a drip zone to contain the perimeter before cleanup.
- Spill kits - Portable bucket, wheeled and wall-cabinet kits stocked with pads, socks, gloves, bags and instructions in universal, oil-only and hazmat versions.
- Granular absorbents - Loose clay and lightweight mineral absorbents for outdoor and heavy-liquid spills.
- Drum and container accessories - Disposal bags, ties and drum-top covers that complete a spill response and disposal workflow.
Absorbent Grades Compared
| Grade | Color | Absorbs | Common Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Universal (gray) | Gray | Water, oils, coolants, solvents | General maintenance spills |
| Oil-only (white) | White | Hydrocarbons, repels water | Fuel and oil on wet surfaces |
| Hazmat (yellow) | Yellow | Aggressive and unknown liquids | Chemical and lab spills |
| Granular | Neutral | Heavy and outdoor spills | Loose broadcast cleanup |
Absorbent Color Coding and Kit Selection
Absorbents follow an industry color code so teams grab the correct grade under pressure: gray universal for general spills, white oil-only that floats and repels water for fuel and oil on wet surfaces, and yellow hazmat for aggressive or unknown chemicals. Pads, rolls, socks and booms combine to cover wipe-up, perimeter containment and drip control, and portable and cabinet spill kits pre-stage a complete response for a defined spill volume. Products are described by grade, format and capacity, and selection follows the facility spill response plan and the liquids on site.
Spill control is a readiness and replenishment spend: kits are staged once and refilled after use, while pads, socks and rolls turn over steadily in maintenance and processing areas. Keeping absorbent grades and kit refills standardized across a facility supports spill-response compliance and keeps restock predictable, which is where case pricing helps materials management.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between universal, oil-only and hazmat absorbents?
Universal absorbents, color-coded gray, pick up water-based and oil-based liquids for general maintenance spills. Oil-only absorbents, color-coded white, absorb hydrocarbons while repelling water, which suits fuel and oil spills on wet surfaces or water. Hazmat absorbents, color-coded yellow, are built for aggressive or unknown chemicals. The catalog stocks all three grades in pads, rolls, socks and kits.
What is the difference between absorbent pads, socks and booms?
Pads and rolls are flat absorbents for wiping up spills and lining under equipment. Socks are flexible tubes that ring a spill or wrap a leak to contain the perimeter. Booms are larger socks for bigger volumes and outdoor or water containment. Facilities combine pads for cleanup with socks and booms for containment as part of a spill kit.
What is in a spill kit?
A spill kit stages a complete response in a portable bucket, wheeled container or wall cabinet, stocked with absorbent pads, socks, disposal bags, ties, gloves and instructions sized to a defined spill volume. Kits are stocked in universal, oil-only and hazmat versions so a facility can pre-position the correct grade near the hazard. Refill components are available to restock a kit after use.
Can facilities order spill control supplies in bulk?
Yes. Absorbent pads, rolls, socks, booms, granular absorbents and spill kits are stocked in case, bale and kit quantities for hospitals, laboratories, plant operations, warehouses and licensed distributors. Standing order programs are available for high-turnover pads and kit refills. Contact our procurement team for tiered case pricing and standing order setup.
What spill control products should be in a facility formulary?
A spill control formulary, or standardized response stock list, typically covers universal absorbent pads and rolls for general use, oil-only pads for fuel and oil areas, hazmat pads for chemical and laboratory zones, absorbent socks for containment, and pre-staged spill kits with refill components matched to the liquids on site.
