We switched to these pads from a big-box brand and the absorbency difference is noticeable. They hold more fluid, last longer before needing replacement, and the free shipping on bulk orders saves us thousands a year. Our maintenance team prefers these over everything else we've tried.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hazmat Absorbent Pads, 15x19 in. Heavy Weight 50/case
What is the difference between oil-only, universal, and hazmat absorbent pads?
Oil-only pads (white) selectively absorb petroleum-based hydrocarbons while repelling water -- ideal for outdoor use or anywhere water is present alongside oil. Universal pads (gray) absorb all liquids including oil, water, coolant, and solvents -- the best all-purpose choice. Hazmat pads (yellow) are chemically resistant and absorb aggressive chemicals, acids, and bases that would degrade standard pads.
What does light, medium, and heavy weight mean?
Light weight pads are thinner and most economical -- best for light drips and wiping. Medium weight provides balanced absorbency and durability for general maintenance. Heavy weight pads are the thickest and most absorbent -- ideal for heavy leaks, under machinery, and demanding industrial applications. Heavier pads hold more fluid and last longer before needing replacement.
What is the difference between bonded and standard pads?
Bonded pads are thermally bonded (heat-sealed) which prevents the layers from separating during use. They resist delamination and won't shed fibers -- making them cleaner and more durable. Bonded pads also typically have a dimpled surface that increases absorption area. Standard (non-bonded) pads provide reliable absorption at a lower cost but may shed fibers and separate under heavy use. Choose bonded for premium performance, standard for budget-friendly volume.
Can I use absorbent pads outdoors?
Yes, but choose the right type. Oil-only pads (white) are ideal for outdoor use because they repel rainwater while absorbing only oil and petroleum-based fluids. Universal pads (gray) will absorb rainwater along with oil -- so they saturate faster outdoors and are best suited for indoor use or covered outdoor areas. For hazardous chemical spills outdoors, use hazmat pads (yellow).
How do I dispose of used absorbent pads?
Disposal depends on what the pads absorbed. Oil-saturated pads can typically be disposed of as non-hazardous waste (check local regulations) -- many can be incinerated for energy recovery. Hazmat pads that absorbed chemicals, acids, or hazardous materials must be disposed of as hazardous waste per EPA RCRA regulations. Always check your facility's waste management plan and local environmental regulations for specific disposal requirements.
What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from the facilities, field crews, and agencies that count on us.
-
-
The price-to-performance ratio on these absorbent pads is outstanding. We go through cases weekly across our three facilities, and the pallet pricing from AbsorbentsOnline keeps our costs well below what we were paying from our previous distributor. Fast shipping too.
-
Having the right absorbent pads on hand saved us during an unannounced EPA audit. The inspector checked our spill response materials and was satisfied that we had adequate supplies — oil-only pads near our hydraulic presses and universal pads in the maintenance bay. AbsorbentsOnline made it easy to stock both types.
