Maintenance absorbent socks are used to contain & absorb spills of non-aggressive fluids such as oils, coolants & water around machinery, workstations & storage areas. They help prevent spills from spreading, protecting floors, equipment & employees from slip hazards & contamination.
The main difference is length & absorbency capacity. A 1.2m absorbent sock is ideal for small leaks & tight spaces, while a 3m sock covers larger areas & absorbs more fluid—making it suitable for extended barriers or bigger spill zones. Choose based on the size & nature of the spill you’re managing.
Absorbent capacity depends on the size of the sock. For example, a 1.2m Premier Maintenance Sock absorbs up to 4.5 litres, while the 3m version absorbs up to 12.5 litres. Always check the product specifications to ensure it meets your spill response needs.
