Universal absorbent pads are an essential tool for liquid spillage in industrial settings. These universal pads are an important part of a spill strategy; more so because they can soak up any and all the liquids that spill in industrial plants and manufacturing facilities. These universal pads can soak up both oil and water; they also have resistance to corrosive liquids like harsh acids and bases.


Universal pads are usually made of melt-blown propylene, and sometimes it is a combination of cellulose material and propylene is used to make these universal absorbent pads. These materials are well known for soaking liquids multiple times their body weight, and they have a high resistance to corrosive liquids.


Features of Universal Absorbent Pads:


1.  Capacity to Absorb a Lot of Liquid at Once: The Universal Absorbent Pads can hold liquid multiple times their body weight. They also absorb the liquid at a rapid speed, making it an essential component of spill averting strategy.


2.  Can Absorb Multiple Liquids: One of the best features of the universal absorption pad can absorb multiple liquids at once. The universal pads are there for general use, which can soak both oil and chemicals.


Uses of Universal Absorbent Pads


●The universal absorbent pads are primarily used in the industrial sector to tackle machinery leakage; in manufacturing plants in it is common for oils and other harsh liquids to leak from machinery. Now these liquids can pose a risk to the workers. The Pads soak up the harsh liquids in a rapid manner, and since they are chemical resistant, they do not dissolve in corrosive chemicals.


● These pads are also widely used in the automobile sector, like garages. This is because a lot of oils and lubricants are required in this industry. The universal pads can soak up all the oil; they are easy to place anywhere as they come in different square sizes.


Universal absorbent pads are a practical, efficient, and economical solution for spill management in many industries. They are an extremely versatile option, as unlike chemical and oil-absorbing pads, they do not selectively soak up liquids.
