Sturdy absorbent socks are used to absorb and contain spills around machines or drums. Wrap socks around machinery to act as a dyke. Also, use socks to surround the spill, preventing liquids from spreading over the plant floor or down drains. These socks will not absorb water or water based liquids. Highly absorbent and dust free, these socks help keep a clean and safe working environment. Use these socks outdoors if needed.
