Drip Pans & Absorbent Pillows for Leak Control

• Materials: CleanSorb absorbent media and OilSorb oil-only absorbent media.
• Package Range: 12 pans with 24 pillows or 40-count pillow-only packs.
• Fluid Control Type: Drip capture, leak absorption, and localized spill control.
• Application Types: Machinery leaks, drum dispensing areas, maintenance zones, and oil-handling stations.
• Absorbent Options: Universal CleanSorb and oil-selective OilSorb configurations.

Drip pans and absorbent pillows are used to capture small leaks, slow drips, and nuisance fluids before they spread across workplace floors. This section includes CleanSorb and OilSorb absorption pan and pillow kits, as well as pillow-only refill packs. The pan-and-pillow sets include 12 pans and 24 pillows for placement under leaking equipment, valves, drums, and transfer points. The 40-count pillow-only packs support replacement needs after absorbent pillows become saturated. CleanSorb options are suited for general liquid control, while OilSorb options are used where petroleum-based fluids require targeted absorption.

Configuration Analysis
Drip pan and pillow systems combine a containment tray with an absorbent insert to manage recurring leaks at the source. The pan provides a defined collection area that helps prevent fluid from migrating across floors, while the pillow absorbs liquid as it enters the pan. This configuration is commonly placed beneath leaking valves, hydraulic fittings, drum faucets, machinery housings, pipe joints, and maintenance equipment. Pillow-only packs are used as refills for existing pans or as standalone absorbents in corners, under equipment bases, or near transfer points where a full pan is not required.

Material Engineering
CleanSorb and OilSorb products are designed for different fluid-control conditions. CleanSorb absorbents are intended for general-purpose workplace liquid management where the liquid type may include coolants, water-based fluids, or non-aggressive maintenance liquids. OilSorb absorbents are intended for oil-focused applications where petroleum-based fluids, lubricants, hydraulic oil, or fuel-related drips are present. The pillow format provides greater absorbent mass than a flat pad, making it useful where fluids collect in low spots or drip repeatedly from a fixed point.

Regulatory Standards
Absorbent drip pans are part of workplace spill control and housekeeping programs, but they do not replace required secondary containment for regulated bulk storage. Facilities handling oils, chemicals, or industrial liquids may need to follow OSHA housekeeping practices, EPA spill prevention rules, or site-specific environmental procedures. Used pillows should be handled according to the liquid absorbed. Oil-saturated materials, chemical-contaminated materials, or absorbents exposed to regulated fluids may require special disposal based on local, state, or federal waste rules.

Industrial Applications
These drip pans and pillows are used in manufacturing plants, maintenance shops, warehouses, fleet service areas, machine shops, drum storage areas, and fluid transfer stations. CleanSorb products fit mixed-use work zones where small leaks or drips may come from general shop liquids. OilSorb products fit lubrication points, hydraulic equipment, fuel transfer areas, compressors, pumps, and machinery where oil separation or oil-focused absorption is required. Pillow-only packs are useful for ongoing replacement programs where facilities inspect and change saturated absorbents on a set schedule.

Selection Criteria
Buyers should match the absorbent type to the fluid being controlled. CleanSorb should be selected for general-purpose liquid control, while OilSorb should be selected for oil and petroleum-based fluids. The 12-pan and 24-pillow kits are used when both collection and absorption are needed at multiple drip points. The 40-count pillow-only packs are used when pans are already in service or when pillows are needed for direct placement under leaks. Selection should also consider drip frequency, available floor space, disposal requirements, and whether the leak source is fixed or temporary.
