Short answer
Pick the pad by the liquid, not by carton size. Oil-only when hydrocarbons sit on water. Universal when the same aisle sees coolant, oil, and water. Chemical when the spill is aggressive and compatibility is already checked. The current oil-only sheet lists 400×500 mm and 406×457 mm, at 180–450 gsm.
Three pads, three jobs
| Liquid | SKU | Typical mistake |
|---|---|---|
| Oil, fuel, sheen on water | Oil-only pads | Using them on water-based coolant |
| Mixed plant drips | Universal pads | Expecting oil-only performance on water |
| Aggressive chemicals | Chemical pads | Assuming “absorbs everything” without an SDS |
A wipe cleans a surface. A pad stays on the floor. Quote them as different line items. Meltblown wipes can wipe a housing after the pad has taken the puddle; they do not replace the pad.
Numbers on the oil-only sheet
Composition is 100% PP, dot-laminated or plain, white. Published absorbency is 12 times fabric weight for disposable use and 20 times for recycle use. Melting point 165–170°C; use temperature under 120°C. Those figures come from the export sheet. Confirm them against your used oil in the quotation — do not treat the website line as a lab report for every batch.
Perforation can be added. Ask for it if workers tear pads at the machine instead of carrying a full sheet.
How to kit a distributor line
Count drip points, not the square meters of the building. A maintenance wholesaler usually stocks oil-only at compressors, sumps, and wet yards, and universal in machine aisles. Chemical pads stay a separate SKU with a compatibility note, not mixed in the same bin.
Carton and pallet photos matter to importers because pad programs fail on warehouse cube, not on slogans. Send your preferred pack count with the liquid list.
What not to promise
Do not print “absorbs 20×” on your label if your market requires its own test method. Do not issue pads as hand wipes. Industry page: industrial manufacturing. Longer petroleum context: spill control for petroleum operations.
