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.

Product Overview
The Peat Moss Absorbent Compressed 2 cu. - Pallet 50 Bags is an oil-only natural peat moss absorbent sold in compressed bags -- 50 bags per pallet. Each compressed 2 cu. ft. bag expands to 4 cu. ft. when deployed. Each bag absorbs approximately 32 gallons of oil-based liquids while repelling water, providing 1,600 gallons of total absorbency per pallet.
Natural peat moss is hydrophobic and oil-selective -- it absorbs petroleum products while leaving water behind. This makes it ideal for outdoor spill response where rain or standing water is present. The compressed packaging means more absorbent capacity per pallet, reducing storage space requirements. Biodegradable and approved for land-farming disposal in many jurisdictions.
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).
Peat moss absorbents are uniquely hydrophobic -- they absorb petroleum products while repelling water. This makes them the preferred choice for outdoor spill response and any scenario where oil and water are mixed. The compressed packaging format is a significant logistics advantage, delivering 2x the absorbent volume per pallet compared to uncompressed products.
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.
Peat moss absorbents are specifically deployed at outdoor bulk fuel storage, marina fueling stations, oil production sites, and transportation depots where petroleum spills interact with rainwater and standing water. The hydrophobic selectivity eliminates the inefficiency of absorbing non-target water. Purchased in pallet quantities by environmental response contractors, oil refineries, and DOT-regulated fuel terminals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Peat Moss Absorbent Compressed 2 cu. - Pallet 50 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.
