A 3-inch by 4-foot (3" x 4') poly oil-only absorbent sock is a flexible, high-performance industrial spill control product designed to contain and absorb petroleum-based liquids while actively repelling water. These tube-shaped sorbents are commonly used to surround leaking machinery, block the spread of oil on concrete floors, or skim hydrocarbons from water surfaces in both indoor and outdoor environments.

Constructed with a durable polypropylene filler and a tough, tear-resistant outer skin, these oil-only socks provide reliable containment without breaking down or shedding fibers. The hydrophobic and oleophilic design allows the sock to selectively absorb oils, fuels, lubricants, and other hydrocarbon-based fluids while floating indefinitely on water—even when fully saturated—making it especially effective for marine applications, sumps, and rain-exposed industrial areas.

Measuring 3 inches in diameter and 4 feet in length, this size offers excellent flexibility for wrapping tightly around machine bases, lining curbs, surrounding drains, or fitting into narrow, hard-to-reach spaces where pads or rolls are impractical. The bright white color clearly identifies the sock as oil-only and allows users to easily monitor saturation levels during spill response. A typical 3" x 4' sock can absorb up to approximately 1 gallon of oil.

These absorbent socks are widely used for machine maintenance, emergency spill response, and environmental protection, helping prevent oil from spreading into walkways, drains, or waterways. Socks may include attachment strings or connectors to link multiple units together for extended containment. Sold 40 socks per case, this format provides a practical, ready-to-deploy solution for facilities managing routine leaks or emergency oil spills.
