Stratex Oil & Fuel Absorbent Sock

Stratex provides these specialised spill containment tools featuring a high-capacity absorbent core. Each unit is encased in a flexible knitted outer layer that allows the product to expand while rapidly drawing in liquids. This design ensures that the socks can hold a significant volume of contaminants, offering a cost-effective solution for industrial site maintenance.

These socks are engineered specifically to target hydrocarbons, including various fuels, oils, and solvents. Because the internal filling is hydrophobic, the material actively repels water while selectively soaking up petroleum-based pollutants. This unique property ensures that the socks remain buoyant and continue to float on the surface even after they have become fully saturated with oil.

Ideal for use in diverse outdoor environments, these absorbents are effective for protecting waterways. They are commonly deployed in harbours, lakes, rivers, and drainage networks to prevent environmental contamination. By placing these socks around the perimeter of a leak, users can effectively contain and remove hazardous liquids from the affected area before they spread further into the ecosystem.

• Repels water while absorbing hydrocarbons
• Floats on surface when saturated
• Knitted skin allows for expansion
• Suitable for ports and marinas
