Product Overview

The Gran-sorb - Pallet 65 Bags is a natural cellulose granular absorbent sold in bulk -- 65 bags per pallet, each bag weighing 30 lbs. Each bag absorbs approximately 4 gallons of oil, water, coolants, and other industrial fluids, providing 260 gallons of total absorbency per pallet. Made from all-natural cellulose fibers, Gran-Sorb is lightweight, non-toxic, and biodegradable -- a safer, more environmentally responsible alternative to traditional clay-based absorbents. The granular format is easy to spread across spills and sweep up after absorption. Ideal for manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and maintenance shops handling large-volume spill response. Backed by AbsorbentsOnline -- trusted since 1985. Ships FREE to the Continental US.

Expert Insights

Granular absorbents remain the most cost-effective first-response tool for industrial spill cleanup. While absorbent pads and socks excel at contained or ongoing drips, granular products are the go-to solution for floor-level spills where liquid has spread across a large area. The key differentiator between granular products is their base material: clay (traditional but heavy and dusty), cellulose (lightweight, biodegradable), corn cob (high absorbency, low dust), and peat moss (oil-selective, hydrophobic). Cellulose-based granulars like Gran-Sorb offer the best balance of weight, absorbency, and environmental impact. At 30 lbs per bag vs. 50+ lbs for clay, they reduce worker strain during application and cleanup. The all-natural cellulose material is non-toxic and biodegradable, making disposal easier than silica-containing clay absorbents.

Granular Absorbents in Action

Granular absorbents are the backbone of industrial spill cleanup programs across manufacturing, automotive, energy, and transportation sectors. Every OSHA-regulated facility that handles oil, chemicals, or industrial fluids maintains a supply of granular absorbent for immediate spill response. Under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.22 (walking-working surfaces) and EPA SPCC regulations, facilities must maintain adequate spill cleanup materials on-site at all times.

Gran-Sorb cellulose absorbent is deployed across general manufacturing, warehousing, and maintenance operations as a lighter, cleaner alternative to heavy clay absorbents. The reduced weight per bag means faster application and less worker fatigue during large-area cleanups. Purchased in pallet quantities by plant maintenance departments, janitorial services, and facility management companies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Gran-sorb - Pallet 65 Bags

What types of liquids can granular absorbents clean up?

This granular absorbent handles oil, water, coolants, solvents, and most non-aggressive industrial liquids. Peat moss absorbent is oil-only. Not recommended for strong acids, bases, or oxidizers -- use hazmat-rated absorbents for those.

How do I dispose of used granular absorbent?

Disposal depends on what was absorbed. Non-hazardous oil-contaminated absorbent can typically go in regular industrial waste. If you absorbed a listed hazardous substance, the used absorbent inherits that classification and must be disposed of as hazardous waste per EPA/state regulations.

How much absorbent do I need for my facility?

Super Sorbent: each case absorbs ~7 gallons. Gran-Sorb: each pallet provides ~260 gal of absorbency. CornCob: each pallet provides ~425 gal. Peat Moss: each pallet provides ~1,600 gal oil-only absorbency. Oil Sweep: one roll provides 25.3 gal.

Does this ship free?

Yes. FREE shipping to the Continental US (lower 48 states). Ships within 3-7 business days.

What Our Customers Say

Real reviews from the facilities, field crews, and agencies that count on us.

  • Switched from clay to Gran-Sorb cellulose and our guys love it — weighs half as much per bag and absorbs just as well. Less dust too. We order a pallet every quarter.

  • The peat moss absorbent is incredible for our outdoor fuel storage area. Absorbs oil but not rainwater — exactly what we needed. Huge capacity per bag. Best granular absorbent we've tried.

    Janet L. — Environmental Compliance Officer, Fuel Terminal

    Verified Buyer
  • We keep the Super Sorbent shaker cartons at every workstation. Workers can grab one and clean up a small spill in seconds. Free shipping and fast delivery — we reorder monthly.
