To soak up petroleum products but not water or water based fluids, use a plastic based absorbent like these. They even float on the water, attract the oil and leave the clean water behind. These oil only sorbent pads are a perfect solution for the marine and boating industry and other applications.
Ships engineers float them in the
bilge to remove oil and call them
Oil Diapers . So we have boat oil diapers, makes perfect sense when you think about it. This is the type that oil response teams use to clean up large spills.
Meltblown oil sorbents are the quickest to absorb and are the most absorbent of all the different types, but sheds some if you use as a wiper or a mat on the floor.

We ship from five stocking locations from across the country to keep shipping time and cost to a minimum.!!!
