'Green' absorbents

With EVO Pads FENTEX is helping industry to become more sustainable. EVO absorbents are made in the UK from recycled cotton - a natural, sustainable product - and with 169.3g CO2, the pads are said to have the UK's lowest carbon footprint.

The new EVO pads can be used in all sectors of industry to absorb hydraulic oil, engine oil, gear oil, lubricating oil, coolant, fuels and mild acids. According to FENTEX the EVO Pads out-perform polypropylene absorbents. It said: "The pads have a higher capacity and greater fluid retention, so they absorb more oil and hold onto it when being recovered, thus avoiding the messy dripping and contamination associated with polypropylene absorbents.

"EVO absorbents are more costeffective, easier and cleaner to use and priced lower than their polypropylene counterparts."
