3M Chemical Sorbent Pads - 1 Case | Industrial Spill Control

3M Chemical Sorbent Pads are designed to absorb aggressive chemicals including acids, bases, solvents, and unknown liquids. They work with the types of chemicals commonly found in powder coating operations: stripping chemicals, phosphate pretreatments, cleaning solvents, and paint thinners. Unlike oil-only or universal sorbents, chemical sorbent pads are specifically engineered to resist degradation when exposed to harsh chemicals.

Each case of 3M Chemical Sorbent Pads (SKU: 498-P-110) contains approximately 100 pads. Individual pad dimensions are approximately 17 x 19 inches, providing ample coverage for typical industrial spills. At $250 per case, the cost per pad is approximately $2.50, making them an affordable essential safety supply for any facility that handles chemicals.

Each 3M Chemical Sorbent Pad absorbs approximately 14-26 ounces of liquid depending on the chemical's viscosity and characteristics. The polypropylene construction wicks chemical liquids quickly while maintaining structural integrity. Pads can be layered for larger spills or placed under leaking containers as preventive drip pads. Replace saturated pads promptly and dispose according to EPA hazardous waste guidelines.

While no regulation specifically mandates chemical sorbent pads, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120 and EPA SPCC regulations require facilities handling hazardous chemicals to have spill response materials readily available. Chemical sorbent pads are the industry-standard spill response material. Having them stocked and accessible demonstrates compliance with spill preparedness requirements during regulatory inspections and audits.

Used chemical sorbent pads that have absorbed hazardous chemicals must be disposed of as hazardous waste according to EPA RCRA regulations. Place used pads in labeled hazardous waste containers and arrange for pickup by a licensed hazardous waste disposal company. Document disposal in your facility's waste management records. For pads that absorbed non-hazardous chemicals, follow your local waste disposal guidelines.
