Stardust Oil-Only Spill Kit — Portable Duffle, Absorbs Oil & Repels Water

Stardust Oil-Only Spill Kit overview

The Stardust Oil-Only Spill Kit is a portable, vehicle-friendly kit for oil and fuel spills — especially where water is present. Packed in a high-visibility yellow nylon duffle, it holds 15 oil-only sorbent pads, two 3-in x 4-ft socks, four disposal bags, and a pair of nitrile gloves. The defining feature is the chemistry: the oil-only sorbents absorb oil and hydrocarbons while repelling water, so they float and keep working on an oil spill outdoors, in the rain, or on the surface of water — and they take up to about 25 times their weight in oil. See our best spill kits guide and the spill control collection.

Match the sorbent to the spill. This is oil-only: it's for oil, fuel, and hydrocarbons and will not absorb water-based liquids — for those, use the universal Stardust universal kit or a universal bucket like the New Pig KIT21. Two honest notes: "OSHA-compliant" is a positioning, not a certification — OSHA does not certify spill kits — and oil-only sorbents absorb but don't neutralize, so aggressive chemicals need a HazMat or neutralizing kit like the New Pig KIT318. As a portable kit it complements the fixed oil-only KIT413 bucket.

Where it fits

It's the portable oil-spill kit for fleet and delivery vehicles, fueling and fluid-handling areas, marine and dockside work, generators, and any outdoor or wet setting where an oil or fuel spill needs a fast response. Because the sorbents repel water, it's the right call wherever oil meets a wet floor, rain, or water. It's not for water-based spills (use a universal kit) or a large spill (use a bucket or drum). Pair the response with the right PPE — our chemical-resistant gloves and solvent respirator cartridge guides cover protection, and keep a first-aid kit in the vehicle.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Stardust oil-only kit absorb?

It absorbs oil, fuel, and other hydrocarbons while repelling water. The oil-only pads and socks float and shed water, so they keep working on an oil spill outdoors, in the rain, or on the surface of water — and they take up to about 25 times their weight in oil.

Why choose oil-only over a universal kit?

Choose oil-only when the spill is oil or fuel and water may be present — a wet floor, outdoors, or on water. Choose universal when you also need to absorb water-based liquids like coolant. Oil-only repels water; universal absorbs it, so match the sorbent to the job.

Is it OSHA certified?

No product is "OSHA certified" in that sense — OSHA does not certify or approve spill kits. "OSHA-compliant" means the kit helps you meet OSHA's expectation that spill-response supplies be available; it supports your program rather than being a government certification.

What's in the kit?

A high-visibility yellow nylon duffle holding 15 oil-only sorbent pads, two 3-in x 4-ft oil-only socks, four disposal bags, and a pair of nitrile gloves — a complete, grab-and-go oil-spill response in one bag.

Does it really work on water and in the rain?

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

How much can it absorb?

The oil-only sorbents take up to roughly 25 times their weight in oil. It's a compact spot-spill kit, so for larger oil spills step up to an oil-only bucket or drum kit.

Is it for 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.

How portable is it?

It's built into a lightweight, hand-carried yellow nylon duffle that's easy to store in a vehicle or near a likely spill area. The heavy-gauge, water-resistant tote is easy to spot and holds up outdoors.

When should I choose the portable kit over a bucket or drum?

Choose the portable duffle for vehicles, fueling areas, marine and outdoor work, and spot spills where grab-and-go matters. Step up to an oil-only bucket kit for a fixed station or a drum kit for larger volumes.

What PPE does it include?

A pair of nitrile gloves. For fuel or larger cleanups, add chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, and a respirator for vapors, matched to the product using its safety data sheet — and keep ignition sources away from fuel.

Are the sorbents environmentally friendly?

Stardust markets the oil-only pads and socks as "green" in both their production method and material content. Used absorbents still carry the oil they soaked up, so dispose of them according to your waste rules.

What jobs and settings is it for?

Fleet and delivery vehicles, fueling and fluid-handling areas, marine and dockside work, generators, and any outdoor or wet setting where an oil or fuel spill needs a fast, portable response.
