What is the difference between pads and rolls?
Pads are individual sheets ideal for spot clean-up, drip trays, and targeted absorption. Rolls provide continuous coverage for larger areas like walkways, under conveyor belts, or across workshop floors. Both are available in oil, chemical, and universal types.
How many pads do I need?
This depends on your usage rate. High-activity areas like machine shops or maintenance bays may go through several pads per day. We recommend keeping at least 100 pads in stock per active area and monitoring consumption weekly.
What does dimple-bonded mean?
Dimple bonding is a construction method that creates small indentations across the pad surface. This increases the surface area and speeds up absorption while also adding strength so the pad does not tear when saturated. It is the industry standard for quality absorbent pads.
