Some leaks aren't a spreading spill so much as a steady drip - under a valve, a pump seal, or a drum tap. This cushion-shaped absorbent pillow is built for exactly that job, sitting in place to catch drips rather than laid flat like a pad.

Each pillow is a sealed cushion of meltblown/spunbond absorbent fill, sized at 38 x 23cm to tuck into tight footprints under machinery or equipment. Choose Oil Only for fuels and oils, Maintenance for general workshop fluids, or Chemical (yellow coded) for acids, alkalis and aggressive substances.

Pillows can also be wedged into a small leak or gap as a temporary measure, and are a common addition inside spill kits and drum stores for exactly this reason. Suited to workshops, plant rooms, drum storage areas and anywhere a persistent drip needs containing rather than a one-off spill.

1. Can pillows be reused between light drips?

Yes, as long as the pillow isn't fully saturated it can continue catching light drips before needing replacement.

2. Can a pillow be used to plug a small leak or hole temporarily?

Yes, pillows are often wedged into small gaps or leaks as a temporary measure, though this isn't a permanent repair.

3. How are pillows different from pads?

Similar absorbent material, but pillows are a sealed cushion shape for placement in a tight footprint, while pads are flat sheets for wiping or covering a wider floor area.

4. Which absorbency type should I choose?

Oil Only for fuels and oils, Maintenance for general workshop fluids, and Chemical for acids, alkalis or unknown substances.

5. How do I dispose of a used pillow?

Treat it as contaminated or hazardous waste and arrange collection through a licensed waste carrier rather than general refuse.
