BradySPC BPO100 15" x 17" Heavy Weight Economical Oil Only Absorbent Pads - 100 ct

These pads definitely work as they are supposed to. They absorb oil(s) and reject water, and are an excellent value considering how well they work.When left for a few hours or days they will absorb high amounts of oil, i measured 20 oz in one sheet alone, so close to the specified amount. They are fairly soft, and pliable enough to use for all sorts of cleaning and pickup jobs. I agree with other reviewers that they are not as pliable and some high-end brands, but they are not particularly stiff, and work well for pick up from floors, bilges, tanks, etc. They also work well for scrubbing/cleaning jobs, such as bilges, and cleaning hands, tools, engines etc. They do not shed many fibers, which can be an issue with cheaper pads, so cleaning engine parts is easy and does not leave fibers in the parts (assuming suitable pressure is used). They float on water, and absorb oil from sea water.Some reviewers have complained about such pads not picking up coolant. Perhaps they are unaware that coolant has no oil in it, just water and glycol based chemicals, and dyes. These pads will not work, but they will remove any oil that is mixed with the coolant. Use regular cleaning cloths, towels etc for coolant.Such oil pads will also not get oil out of concrete, only from the surface. As concrete is porous the oil seeps into it, you will have to use chemicals and/or a pressure washer to lift the oil out. But these pads will absorb the oil once it has risen to the surface of the concrete. Use these pads as a preventative measure to stop oil getting into concrete instead.You can recycle a large percentage of the oil in a sheet by squeezing it out, but i would never reuse such oil in any equipment. Best to send it to the local oil recycler instead.

Nice economical oil absorbant pads used on our boat

We have 2 boats and these pads work great for absorbing oil and grease under the engines. They do not absorb water, they are not meant to. We roll several together and tie with a few zip cords to make logs that fit in the gullies that run from the front to back of the engine room floor. This is the second time we ordered this brand. a 100 sheets lasts us about 3 1/2 years. This brand offers the most economical value and they work great.

These absorbent pads work just fine for what I need. I didn't give it a 5-star because I rarely do.

I have a 58' boat and the engine room has oil in the bilges. These will soak up the oil. My goal is to be oil free bilges.

AAA

as advertised

Cleans oilCauses a fiber and particle messWould not buy again but does absorb oilperforations don't tear clean

I used for removing oil from My pond. It worked well and cost effective. I needed instructions to know which side to put into the water. I wished there was a way to see if the pad had picked up the oil, like change color or something.

Très bonne qualité du produit

Sedado pero absorba muy bien.

Good pads. Soak up oil not water

Not quite as thick as I’d like but will definitely be purchasing again! Gets the job done. Has a great precursor line down the middle to make smaller
