Catch and trap oil drips before they can reach the ground

Maintenance is a necessity. But sometimes a shop in which to do that maintenance isn’t available. Sometimes field repairs need to be done. But just because a shop isn’t available doesn’t mean that maintenance personnel can’t be environmentally responsible.

The multi-layered Ultra-Absorbent Tarp is designed to be easily transported and placed under vehicles and equipment. The top layers absorb oils and other hydrocarbons while the bottom layer prevents excess oil from seeping through to the ground below.

Product Highlights

  • Use under machinery and equipment to catch fluid leaks during maintenance or repairs.
  • Rolls or folds into a small package — store in vehicles for onsite repairs.
  • Keeps floors free of oily mess - reduces slip hazards.
  • Three-layer system provides maximum protection:
  • Top layer: UV resistant geotextile fabric - allows oils to pass through.
  • Middle layer: Absorbent core - oil-only polypropylene traps oils but allows stormwater to evaporate.
  • Bottom layer: Impermeable backing keeps drips from leaching through to the ground or shop floor.

Additional Information

  • The absorbent tarps absorb 12 gallons per square foot. The two standard sizes: 5′ x 5′ and 10′ x 10′ absorb 3.0 gallons (11L) and 12.0 gallons (45L) respectively.
  • When new/unused, the 5′ x 5′ absorbent tarps weigh only 3 lbs. (1.5 Kg) and the 10′ x 10′ absorbent tarps weight only 12 lbs. (5.5 Kg) so they are very easily transported.

  • The Ultra-Absorbent Tarp is made with three layers to make it more effective. Each layer has a different “responsibility”:

    • The top layer is a UV resistant geotextile fabric which allows oils to pass through.
    • The middle layer is an absorbent core. It is made of an oil-only polypropylene that  traps oils but allows stormwater to evaporate.
    • The bottom layer is an impermeable backing that keeps drips from leaching through to the ground or shop floor.
