Stratex General Purpose Absorbent Sock 80mm x 3m Box of 8

Stratex General Purpose Absorbent Sock 80mm x 3m is a flexible containment tool built with a knitted outer skin that lets fluid pass through quickly. The ultra-absorbent filling locks the liquid inside so it will not leak out once captured. Each sock can expand as it takes on fluid, and a three metre length is able to hold up to 13.75 litres, which is a high capacity for this type of product. The box contains eight socks, giving you enough length to deal with larger spills or to place around several machines at once. The knitted cover is tough enough for daily industrial use while staying pliable enough to hug uneven floors.

The socks handle oils, coolants, solvents and water-based liquids, making them suitable for most common workshop and factory spills. They are not designed for aggressive chemicals such as strong acids or caustics, so check compatibility before use. Because the filling retains the liquid, the socks stay stable when saturated and do not drip when lifted. This helps keep the work area cleaner during removal and disposal.

Typical uses include wrapping the base of leaking equipment, lining walkways to catch drips, and surrounding spill areas to stop fluid from spreading into drains or aisles. Lay the sock flat against the floor so the knitted skin makes full contact with the liquid. Overlap the ends when forming a barrier to prevent gaps. After the sock is saturated, pick it up and place it in a suitable waste container according to local regulations. Store the box in a dry area away from direct sunlight to keep the filling ready for use.
