Pillows

Spill Pillows Targeted Absorption for Quick Spill Response

When a leak or drip happens, having the right absorbent ready can prevent a small mess from turning into a major cleanup. Spill pillows are engineered for fast, localized absorption of liquids in industrial, automotive, and maintenance settings. Whether you’re managing an oil spill, chemical leak, or everyday maintenance fluids, absorbent pillows offer a powerful solution that keeps floors dry and operations safe.

Why Choose Absorbent Spill Pillows

Absorbent pillows are designed to capture and contain liquids that standard pads might miss. Their compact, high-capacity design allows them to soak up large volumes of fluids without spreading contamination. These versatile tools are ideal for:

• Containing persistent leaks under equipment or vehicles
• Catching drips from pumps, tanks, and machinery
• Targeting spills in tight spaces where rolls or pads won’t fit
• Managing unexpected leaks in transport, storage, or workshop environments

Oil spill absorbent pillows are specifically made to attract hydrocarbons while repelling water, making them perfect for fuel and oil cleanup. Chemical spill pillows or hazmat pillows resist aggressive acids and caustics, while universal spill pillows handle everything from oils to coolants and water-based fluids.

How to Choose the Right Spill Pillow

Selecting the right spill control pillow depends on the type of fluid, size of the spill, and where you plan to use it.

• For Oil and Fuel:  Choose oil-only absorbent pillows that float on water and target hydrocarbon spills.
• For Chemicals and HazMat: Use hazmat pillows that resist strong acids, bases, and other reactive fluids.
• For General Use: Universal absorbent pillows offer broad compatibility for mixed fluids found in maintenance and manufacturing environments.
• For Tight or Confined Spaces: Smaller pillows fit under engines, tanks, and pumps where standard pads won’t fit.

By matching your pillow to your work environment, you’ll maximize safety, speed, and absorption efficiency.

FAQ: Spill Pillows and Absorbent Cushions

What are spill pillows used for?
Spill pillows are used to absorb and contain leaks, drips, or pooled fluids in industrial and automotive environments.

Are oil-only pillows different from universal ones?
Yes. Oil-only pillows absorb hydrocarbons while repelling water. Universal pillows can absorb both oil- and water-based fluids.

Can spill pillows be reused?
No. Once saturated, absorbent pillows should be replaced to maintain effectiveness and prevent contamination.

Do spill pillows work for hazardous materials?
Yes, hazmat or chemical spill pillows are designed specifically for corrosive or aggressive liquids.

Where should spill pillows be stored?
Keep pillows near leak-prone equipment, inside spill kits, and in vehicles for fast emergency access.
