The reason we decided to go with FiberDuck® to brand our oil absorbent pads is because like a duck’s feathers that have a waterproof barrier that repels and allows water to run off so do our pads. This is where the saying “water off a duck’s back” comes from. This keeps ducks dry and warm beneath their feathers as well as buoyant on the water.
FiberDuck oil pads are hydrophobic, meaning they also repel water and will float indefinitely on the water’s surface while absorbing only oils and petroleum-based liquids. This makes them a great option for oil spill clean-up not only on water but to catch drips and leaks as well as to soak up pooling oil in shops and warehouse locations.
FiberDuck oil pads come in 15″ x 18″ sheets that are perforated on center to allow to tear to smaller sizes if needed or to spread out over large areas. They are made in three weights that can be used based on the size and frequency of spills – Lightweight for small spills, mediumweight for general use, and heavyweight for large spills. Because the pads are made from a hydrophobic polypropylene fiber they are not only durable with high absorbency it helped complete the FiberDuck name which has been a part of Spill Hero’s sorbent line for over 3 decades.
The next time you are in need of oil pads to handle an emergency oil spill or to have around the shop or jobsite think FiberDuck and be ready.
We’ve also added a new environmentally friendly option made from recycled material in our continued commitment to offering eco-friendly products. Check out the full line at www.spillhero.com
