Industrial Absorbent Sock New Pig Heavy Duty

Description

Product Overview

The New Pig Industrial Absorbent Sock is engineered for demanding environments where liquid containment and rapid absorption are critical. Constructed with an extra‑dense vermiculite filler, each sock can hold up to 95 ounces (approximately 3 quarts) of oil, water, solvents, coolants or other common industrial liquids. The outer skin is a stitch‑bonded polypropylene fabric that resists tearing, reduces dust generation, and remains intact even when fully saturated. Dimensions measure 22.7 x 14.7 x 16 inches and the unit weighs only 1.25 pounds, making it easy to position and transport. Model number 2048, manufactured by New Pig Corporation, meets the National Stock Number 7930‑01‑362‑3916 standards.

Usage

Designed for unisex use across automotive shops, manufacturing floors, warehouses, and any facility handling liquids, the absorbent sock excels in spill response, machine leak containment, and temporary damming. Place the sock directly on the floor to create a barrier that channels fluid into the absorbent core, preventing spread and protecting equipment and flooring. Ideal for routine maintenance, emergency leak control, and environmental compliance programs.

FAQ

How much liquid can one sock absorb?

Each sock can hold up to 95 ounces (about 3 quarts) of liquid, which covers most common industrial spills.

Can the sock be reused after it becomes saturated?

Yes. After soaking, allow the sock to air‑dry in a shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight as UV exposure can degrade the polypropylene skin.

What types of liquids are suitable for absorption?

The sock is designed for oils, water, solvents, coolants, and other typical industrial fluids. It is not intended for highly corrosive acids or strong bases.

Is the sock suitable for outdoor use?

It can be used outdoors temporarily, but prolonged exposure to sunlight or extreme weather may reduce its effectiveness. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.

How does the sock stay in place on slick surfaces?

The heavy‑dense construction and low‑profile design create friction that keeps the sock flat on the floor, preventing movement even on smooth or oily surfaces.
