Product Overview

The Absorbent Pillows, White Oil-Only, 10x10 In, 40/CASE is a hydrophobic oil-only absorbent pillow engineered for selective hydrocarbon absorption in wet environments. Each pillow features a durable spunbond polypropylene skin filled with hydrophobic poly blend filler made from 100% post-industrial recycled polypropylene β€” absorbing oil, diesel, gasoline, hydraulic fluid, and other hydrocarbons while actively repelling water. These oil-only pillows float on water, making them ideal for retention ponds, marina containment, stormwater drains, and outdoor spill response. Place them under leaking equipment, inside drip pans, around pipe flanges, or deploy on water surfaces for oil sheen removal. The sewn-pillow construction prevents fiber shedding. White color coding indicates oil-only absorption. Backed by AbsorbentsOnline β€” trusted since 1985. Ships FREE to the Continental US.

Expert Insights

With decades of industrial spill response experience, AbsorbentsOnline recommends oil-only absorbent pillows for any application where water is present but only oil needs to be removed. The hydrophobic polypropylene filler selectively absorbs petroleum-based liquids while repelling water β€” critical for outdoor deployments, retention ponds, and wet environments where universal pillows would saturate with water before absorbing oil. White oil-only pillows float on water, making them uniquely suited for marina containment, stormwater drain protection, and surface oil sheen removal. The sewn-pillow construction keeps absorbent material contained even when fully saturated and floating. Pro Tip: Deploy oil-only pillows in stormwater retention ponds and secondary containment basins as passive oil-removal devices. They absorb oil continuously until saturated, with no power or monitoring required. Replace when they begin to sink. For indoor multi-fluid environments, use our Gray Universal Pillows instead.

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.

  • 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.

    Dave M. β€” Plant Maintenance Supervisor

    Verified Buyer
  • 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.

    Lisa P. β€” Environmental Compliance Manager

    Verified Buyer
  • 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.
