New Pig Oil-Only Absorbent Mat Pads in Dispenser Box — 200-Count, Absorbs Oil, Repels Water

New Pig Oil-Only Absorbent Mat Pads overview

The New Pig Oil-Only Absorbent Mat Pads come 200 to a pull-out dispenser box, each pad 15 in x 20 in, and do one job well: absorb oil and fuel while repelling water. Because the sorbent floats and sheds water, these keep working on an oil or fuel drip even on a wet floor, outdoors, or on the surface of water — exactly where a universal pad would waterlog. They're lightweight pads, about 14 ounces of absorbency each, so the high 200-count box suits high-use areas where you grab a fresh pad for every leak. See our best spill kits guide and the spill control collection.

Two things worth reading right. First, chemistry: these are oil-only, so they won't absorb water-based liquids — for coolant, water, and mixed shop spills you'd choose the heavyweight universal mat pads instead, which absorb both. Second, weight class: lightweight pads are thinner and higher-count (200) for wiping and lighter drips, while heavyweight pads are thicker and fewer per box for bigger spills. The polypropylene is flame-resistant (it melts under high heat rather than burning) but not fireproof, and for aggressive chemicals you'd use a HazMat or neutralizing kit like the KIT318. They're a natural refill for an oil-only bucket like the KIT413 and pair with oil-only booms around water.

Where they fit

They're the oil-and-fuel wipe-up box for garages, fleet and delivery bays, fueling points, marinas and docks, generators, and any outdoor or wet setting where oil leaks near water. Grab a pad for a drip, line a machine base, or catch a leak under equipment. Where they're not the tool is a water-based spill (use universal pads) or an aggressive chemical (use a HazMat kit). Keep the right PPE nearby — our chemical-resistant gloves and solvent respirator cartridge guides cover protection, and a first-aid kit should be close.

Frequently asked questions

What do these pads absorb?

They're oil-only sorbent pads, so they absorb oil, fuel, and other hydrocarbons while repelling water. That means they keep working on oil and fuel even on a wet floor, outdoors, or on water — where a universal pad would soak up the water too.

What's the difference between oil-only and universal pads?

Oil-only pads repel water and float, so they're for oil and fuel around water or outdoors. Universal pads absorb both oil- and water-based liquids, for indoor shop spills with coolant and water in play. Match the pad to whether water should be shed or soaked up.

How many pads come in the box, and what size are they?

200 pads per dispenser box, each 15 in x 20 in. That's a high-count box for high-use areas, so you can grab a fresh pad for every drip without running low.

Are these lightweight or heavyweight pads?

These are lightweight oil-only pads, at about 14 ounces of absorbency per pad. Lightweight pads are thinner and come in higher counts (200 here), ideal for wiping and lighter drips; heavyweight pads are thicker and fewer per box for bigger spills.

What does the dispenser box do?

The pull-out dispenser box lets you grab one pad at a time from the top while keeping the rest clean and contained. It's a tidy way to keep pads at a workbench, machine, or fueling point.

Do they really work on water and in the rain?

Yes. Because oil-only sorbents repel water and float, they skim oil off water and keep absorbing in wet conditions without becoming waterlogged — the core advantage of oil-only pads outdoors.

Are they for acids or aggressive chemicals?

No. Oil-only sorbents are for oil and hydrocarbon liquids. They don't absorb water-based liquids, and they don't neutralize acids or bases — for aggressive chemicals use a HazMat or neutralizing kit and check the safety data sheet first.

Can I wring them out or incinerate them?

Oil-only pads can often be wrung out to recover oil and can be incinerated for energy recovery or fuels blending, subject to your waste and environmental rules. Used pads still carry the oil they absorbed.

Are they flame-resistant?

The polypropylene is flame-resistant — it melts at high heat rather than igniting immediately like cellulose — but it is not fireproof. Keep fuel-soaked pads away from ignition sources and dispose of them properly.

What are they used for?

Wiping oil and fuel drips, lining machine bases and fueling points, catching leaks under equipment, and general oil cleanup in garages, fleet bays, marinas, and outdoor sites.

How do I dispose of used pads?

Used pads carry the hazard of the oil or fuel they soaked up, so dispose of them per your local, state, and federal waste rules. Oil-soaked pads may be recycled for fuels blending or incinerated where permitted.

Are these a refill for oil-only spill kits?

Yes. They're a natural restock for an oil-only bucket kit like the New Pig KIT413, keeping your spill station topped up with oil-only sorbents.
