We place these pillows under every piece of hydraulic equipment in our shop. They conform around pipe fittings and catch drips that flat pads always miss. One pillow under our press soaked up a slow hydraulic leak for three full shifts before it needed replacing. Far more capacity than we expected.

Product Overview
The Absorbent Pillows, Gray General Purpose, 18x18 In, 10/CASE is a general-purpose universal absorbent pillow designed for industrial maintenance, under-machinery drip containment, and emergency spill response. Each pillow features a durable spunbond polypropylene skin filled with high-capacity poly blend filler made from 100% post-industrial recycled polypropylene — absorbing oil, water, coolant, solvents, and virtually any non-aggressive liquid on contact.
These pillows are ideal for placing under leaking machinery, inside drip pans, around valve flanges, and in hard-to-reach areas where pads and rolls don't fit. The sewn-pillow construction prevents fiber shedding and keeps absorbent material contained even when fully saturated. Gray color coding indicates universal/general-purpose absorption.

Expert Insights
With decades of industrial spill response experience, AbsorbentsOnline recommends universal absorbent pillows as an essential complement to flat pads and rolls. Pillows excel in confined spaces, under machinery, and inside drip pans where flat products can't conform to irregular surfaces. The sewn-pillow construction holds 2-3x more fluid per square inch than loose pads because the contained filler expands as it absorbs.
Gray universal pillows are the most versatile option — they absorb oil, water, coolant, solvents, and virtually any non-aggressive liquid. Stock these as your default pillow for general maintenance, under-equipment drip containment, and emergency spill response. Available in 8x18, 10x10, and 18x18 sizes to fit any application.
Pro Tip: Place pillows inside secondary containment trays and drip pans as economical liners — they absorb collected fluids and make disposal easier than pumping out liquid. For chemical or acid environments, upgrade to our Yellow Hazmat Pillows.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of liquids do absorbent pillows absorb?
It depends on the type. Gray universal pillows absorb oil, water, coolant, solvents, and most non-aggressive liquids. White oil-only pillows selectively absorb petroleum-based liquids while repelling water. Yellow hazmat pillows absorb aggressive chemicals, acids, bases, and solvents.
Where should I use absorbent pillows instead of pads?
Use pillows in confined spaces, under machinery, inside drip pans, around valve flanges, and in any hard-to-reach area where flat pads can't conform. Pillows hold more fluid per square inch than flat pads because the contained filler expands as it absorbs.
Do oil-only pillows float on water?
Yes. White oil-only pillows are hydrophobic and float on water, making them ideal for retention ponds, marina containment, stormwater drains, and outdoor spill response where selective oil absorption is needed.
What is the difference between universal and hazmat pillows?
Universal (gray) pillows use poly blend filler for general-purpose absorption of non-aggressive liquids. Hazmat (yellow) pillows use 100% polypropylene filler that won't degrade on contact with acids, bases, solvents, and aggressive chemicals. Always use yellow hazmat pillows for chemical environments.
How do I dispose of used absorbent pillows?
Pillows are incinerable, but disposal must comply with local, state, and federal regulations. Pillows saturated with hazardous materials may require hazardous waste handling per EPA 40 CFR 263.3.
Do you offer bulk or pallet pricing?
Yes. Volume discounts, pallet pricing (30 cases per pallet), and government purchase orders are accepted. GSA-friendly. Contact sales@absorbentsonline.com or call (800) 869-9633 for quotes.
What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from the facilities, field crews, and agencies that count on us.
-
-
Our SPCC plan requires absorbent materials at every oil storage point. These pillows are perfect for placing inside secondary containment areas and around valve flanges where pads won't stay put. The pillow shape holds its position and absorbs far more than a comparable stack of pads. Great value on the case pricing.
-
We stock these in every spill kit across our facility. When we had a coolant line rupture under a CNC machine, the pillows absorbed everything in a hard-to-reach space where pads couldn't lay flat. The free shipping and fast delivery from AbsorbentsOnline made restocking painless.
