PCG Oil Absorbent is a high-efficiency absorption resin material characterized by its micronanoporous structure, developed using the principle of Similar Compatibility. This innovative material is designed for the effective absorption of oil-based substances and various chemical compounds.

This versatile product can be extensively utilized across multiple industries: 

Industrial and Commercial Applications

Oil absorbent sheets (also known as pads or mats) are primarily designed for spill response and maintenance in environments where petroleum-based liquids like oil, fuel, diesel, gasoline, hydraulic fluids, brake fluids, and solvents are common. They selectively absorb hydrocarbons while repelling water, allowing efficient cleanup without waste. Here are key applications:

• Spill Cleanup and Containment:
  Used to quickly absorb and contain oil-based spills on floors, workbenches, or hard surfaces in factories, warehouses, and manufacturing plants. They can be placed in the path of a spill to prevent spreading, and their perforated design allows tearing to fit specific sizes.

• Leak and Drip Prevention Under Machinery:
  Placed beneath equipment like forklifts, presses, hydraulic systems, or conveyor belts to catch ongoing leaks, drips, or overspray, reducing slip hazards and maintaining clean workspaces. This is common in machine shops, automotive repair shops, and production lines.

• Equipment and Surface Wiping:
  Employed as low-lint rags to clean pipes, hoses, nozzles, tools, or machinery after maintenance, removing residual oils or greases without scratching surfaces. Bonded or laminated variants provide durability for high-traffic areas.

• Floor Protection and Track Mats:
  Used as protective mats in garages, workshops, or transportation areas to shield floors from oil and grease, especially under vehicles during repairs or in high-traffic zones. Abrasion-resistant top layers withstand foot, wheel, or machinery traffic.

Marine and Environmental Applications

These sheets excel in water-related scenarios due to their buoyancy and hydrophobicity, floating on water while absorbing oil sheens.

• Water Surface Skimming and Oil Spill Response:
  Deployed on ponds, rivers, marinas, or low-current waterways to absorb floating oil, fuel, or petroleum sheens without absorbing water. Ideal for environmental cleanups, stormwater management, or oily water filtration in rainy conditions.

• Marine and Boating Use:
  Placed in bilges of boats, ships, or docks to absorb leaks from engines or fuel systems. Commercial boaters and marinas use them to prevent oil from entering waterways, complying with environmental regulations.

• Drain and Catch Basin Protection:
  Inserted into floor drains, catch basins, or trench drains to filter out oil from wastewater, preventing contamination in public works facilities or industrial sites.

Transportation and Fuel-Related Applications

• Vehicle and Fuel Handling:
  Absorb spills or leaks from trucks, tankers, or fueling stations during oil changes, refueling, or transport. Placed under vehicles to catch motor oil or coolant drips, or around fuel delivery nozzles.

• Trucking Terminals and Gas Stations:
  Used for routine cleanup of diesel, gasoline, or petroleum spills on pavement or loading areas, ensuring safety and regulatory compliance (e.g., OSHA spill prevention).

Personal and Consumer Applications

While less common for industrial-grade sheets, thinner variants or similar products serve everyday needs:

• Home Garage or DIY Maintenance:
  Absorb small oil leaks under cars, lawnmowers, or generators in residential settings, keeping driveways clean and preventing environmental runoff.

Specialized and Emerging Applications

• Static-Dissipative or UV-Resistant Uses:
  In hazardous areas with flammable oils, static-resistant sheets reduce ignition risks. UV-resistant versions are used outdoors for up to a year in construction or repair sites.

• High-Capacity or Reusable Variants:
  Pillows or booms made from similar sheet materials handle large spills (e.g., up to 38 gallons).

• Advanced Research Applications:
  Experimental “oleo-sheets” or “omni-sheets” (fabric-like superabsorbers) for lab spills, magnetic retrieval in water, or dual-sided absorption of oil and water in R&D settings.
