Targeted absorbent pads designed specifically for oil and petroleum-based fluid absorption. Oil Magnet pads attract and lock in oil while repelling water — making them ideal for environments where oil and water are both present.
Place them under equipment, at drip points, or anywhere fluids accumulate. When saturated, commercially launder and reuse. The black and white tweed pattern hides absorbed stains so pads look professional longer.
Here’s the difference between Oil Magnet Pads and full-size absorbent mats: precision placement.
Full-floor absorbent mats like the Action Mat work great for work cells and entire service bays. But sometimes you need targeted protection — under a specific piece of equipment, at a known drip point, or in a compact space where a full mat won’t fit. That’s where Oil Magnet Pads excel.
These pads use 28 oz/yd² of 100% cotton yarn — 40% heavier than the 20 oz yarn in standard absorbent mats. More yarn means more absorption capacity per square inch. The woven cotton duck backing (10.8 oz/yd²) contains absorbed fluids and prevents seepage to the floor below.
Unlike rubber-backed mats, Oil Magnet Pads are lightweight and flexible. Slide them under equipment, fold them around pipes, stack them in storage without bulk. The taped borders prevent fraying and maintain a clean edge through repeated laundering cycles.
When pads become saturated with contaminants, don’t throw them away — commercially launder them. The cotton yarn releases absorbed fluids during washing, and the cotton duck backing holds up to repeated cycles. You get extended service life from each pad.
The black and white cotton tweed pattern hides absorbed stains, so pads look professional even after soaking up dark fluids. Your facility maintains a clean appearance without constant pad replacement.
Superior Absorbency 28 oz/yd² 100% cotton yarn — 40% heavier than standard absorbent mats. Absorbs grease, oil, hydraulic fluid, coolant, water, and solvents aggressively.
Cotton Duck Backing Woven cotton duck fabric (10.8 oz/yd²) contains absorbed fluids and prevents seepage to floor surface.
Taped Borders Finished edges prevent fraying and maintain clean appearance through repeated laundering.
Lightweight & Flexible No rubber backing means easy positioning under equipment, around pipes, in tight spaces. Stack flat for storage.
Commercially Launderable Wash out absorbed fluids and reuse. Designed for repeated commercial laundering cycles.
Stain-Hiding Design Black and white cotton tweed pattern conceals absorbed fluids. Pads look professional longer.
Safety Compliant Passes flammability standard CPSC FF 1-70.

Oil Magnet Pads can be commercially laundered to remove grease, oil, and dirt. Adjust formula as needed based on soil type and quantity.
Important: Do not wash Oil Magnet Pads with nylon or other synthetic carpet mats — this causes pilling.

Critical: Ensure pads are thoroughly dried to prevent mildew formation in cotton yarn.
⚠️ Important: Pads saturated with oil, solvents, or other hazardous materials must be stored and disposed of in accordance with local regulations. This includes proper disposal of any oil or solvent residues. Consult your local hazardous waste guidelines for specific procedures.
What’s the difference between Oil Magnet Pads and Action Mat?
Oil Magnet Pads have no rubber backing — they’re lightweight and flexible for spot placement under equipment. Action Mat has nitrile rubber backing that grips floors and provides slip-resistance for workers walking on the mat. Use Oil Magnet for targeted drip protection; use Action Mat for area coverage with foot traffic.
Why is the yarn heavier in Oil Magnet Pads?
Oil Magnet Pads use 28 oz/yd² cotton yarn versus 20 oz/yd² in Action Mat. Heavier yarn means more absorption capacity per square inch. Since Oil Magnet Pads are used for concentrated drip points rather than large areas, the extra absorbency handles fluid accumulation better.
Will Oil Magnet Pads stay in place?
Oil Magnet Pads don’t have rubber backing, so they may shift on smooth floors. They’re designed to be placed under equipment where they’ll stay put, not in high-traffic walkways. For areas with foot traffic, use Action Mat with nitrile rubber backing instead.
Can I wash these in a regular washing machine?
No. Oil Magnet Pads require commercial laundering equipment. The pads are too heavy for residential machines, and the high-temperature drying cycle (180°F) is essential to prevent mildew.
How often should I launder Oil Magnet Pads?
Launder when pads become saturated or show significant soil buildup. Frequency depends on your environment — some facilities wash weekly, others monthly.
Can I cut Oil Magnet Pads to fit?
Yes. Without rubber backing, Oil Magnet Pads can be cut to size. The taped borders will need to be re-finished on cut edges to prevent fraying.
How do I dispose of saturated pads?
Pads saturated with oil, solvents, or hazardous fluids must be disposed of according to your local hazardous waste regulations. Do not dispose of saturated pads in regular trash.
What fluids do Oil Magnet Pads absorb?
Oil Magnet Pads absorb hydraulic fluid, motor oil, coolant, water, condensation, solvents, and other industrial fluids. The 100% cotton yarn absorbs both petroleum-based and water-based liquids.
