3M™ Spill Management
3M™ Oil & Petroleum Sorbents
3M™ Petroleum Sorbents are hydrophobic, repel water and are ideal for absorbing oil. They can be used in or outside the plant and
quickly absorb petroleum-based fluids from places where water is present. Made from inert, synthetic fibers, these sorbents are available
in a wide range of formats to enhance spill management and maximize pollution control. They recover oil, not water, so 90 percent of the
absorbed oil can be wrung out and reclaimed. These sorbents are lightweight, dust free and extremely absorbent to minimize both cost
and waste disposal.
3M™ Oil & Petroleum Sorbent Pads and Rolls
These pads and rolls absorb hydrocarbon-based liquids and repel
aqueous-based liquids.
Reusable, conveniently-sized pads are perfect for cleaning up small oil or petroleum
spills and wiping contaminated areas. They may also be used on work surfaces in
anticipation of a spill.
The roll product offers the versatility to cut-for-use in small areas or lay full size on
open waters, shorelines or discharge streams. Ideal for lining drawers, covering work
benches or protecting areas from overspray. Can be wrung out and reused many times.
3M™ Oil & Petroleum Folded Sorbents
Enjoy four sorbents in one with this versatile, folded product that absorbs
hydrocarbon-based liquids and repels aqueous-based liquids to help you recover oil,
not water. Use as a boom, pillow, pad or roll. Perforations every 16 inches allow you to
select the length you need. Each handy dispenser shows suggestions for sorbent use.
3M™ Oil & Petroleum Sorbent Booms
These sorbent booms are used to stop the spread of liquids and are the first line in
spill containment. Unlike non sorbent-containment booms, ours absorb oil as they help
contain it. Booms can be linked together by built-in connectors to deploy over large
areas. UV-resistant, they will not deteriorate or disintegrate. Designed for long-term
use in ditches, streams, rivers, lakes, docks and piers.
Double booms feature a unique, double-cylinder design to maximize absorption and
minimize the escape of oil traces in flowing water. Constructed to be more rigid for
easier handling and to make it easier to turn them over for maximum saturation.
