3M Sorbents Singapore
Solutions for Workplace Safety
3M pioneered the development of synthetic sorbents while leveraging one of its core technologies. 3M sorbents contain no abrasive granules that can damage expensive equipment. Instead, they are made from microfiber materials, which contain millions of tiny pockets that absorb and hold liquids. Choose from petroleum (oil-only), maintenance (for non‑aggressive liquids), and chemical (for most aggressive and non‑aggressive liquids) formats.

3M Sorbents Formats
Sorbent Pads
Conveniently sized pads are ideal for cleaning up small spills and wiping contaminated areas. Pads are very versatile for getting at hard-to-reach areas. They may also be left on a spill area to soak up liquids. Scrim increases strength and helps eliminate linting.
Sorbent Rolls
Use the exact amount of sorbent you need. Sorbent rolls offer the versatility to cut-for‑use in small areas or lay full size on open water, shorelines or discharge streams. Ideal for lining drawers, covering work benches, protecting areas from overspray or functioning as matting in dirty areas. Lined with scrim, this product can also be wrung out and reused many times.
Folded Sorbents
Folded sorbents offer the versatility of four formats rolled into one — use as a boom, sheet, pad or pillow. One product can be stocked for almost any liquid spill. Perforations every 16 inches so you can select the length of sorbent needed to avoid waste. The handy dispenser can be wall-mounted for easy on or off-site use.
Sorbents Booms
Sorbent booms are used to stop the spread of liquid and are the first line in spill containment. Once you have booms in place, you can use pads, rolls or pillows to recover the spilled liquids. Booms can be linked together using built-in connectors to deploy them over large areas. UV‑resistant, they will not deteriorate or disintegrate.
Sorbents Pillows
The pillow format is designed for reaching spilled liquids in hard-to-reach areas such as bilge pumps, drains, sumps and holding tanks. A scrim encases the particulate sorbent material and is lightweight and tear‑resistant. Perfect for use when you need more capacity than you can get with a pad.
Cost Efficiency of 3M Sorbents
Because of 3M™ Sorbents’ superior absorbency properties, they offer significant cost benefits associated with materials, labour and disposal.
