Stratex® Heavy Duty General Purpose Absorbent Pads | 500 × 400mm | 380gsm | Pack of 100

Heavyweight Industrial Polypropylene Absorbent Pads for Oil, Fuel, Water, Coolant, Solvent and General Workplace Spill Control

Supply Solutions Group supplies Stratex® Heavy Duty General Purpose Absorbent Pads – Pack of 100 to organisations operating across mining, manufacturing, engineering, automotive, transport, construction, warehousing, maintenance and industrial workplaces throughout Australia.

Stratex General Purpose Heavyweight Absorbent Pads are high-capacity industrial spill-control pads designed for demanding applications involving leaks, drips and liquid spills.

Manufactured from polypropylene, each absorbent pad measures 500mm × 400mm and features a heavyweight 380gsm construction.

The heavyweight format provides increased liquid capacity for larger spills and demanding industrial clean-up tasks where lighter general-purpose absorbents may require more frequent replacement.

Stratex General Purpose Absorbents are designed to rapidly absorb a broad range of liquids, including:

• Water-based liquids

• Oils

• Fuels

• Coolants

• Solvents

• Most non-aggressive chemicals

This broad liquid compatibility makes the pads particularly useful in workplaces where different types of spills may occur and a versatile general-purpose absorbent is required.

The pads can be quickly positioned over spilled liquid, beneath leaking equipment or around machinery where ongoing drips may occur.

They are also suitable for wiping contaminated surfaces and components during appropriate maintenance and clean-up operations.

Each pad is perforated through the centre, allowing it to be divided when a smaller absorbent section is sufficient.

This helps reduce unnecessary material consumption while allowing smaller sections to be positioned in confined or difficult-to-access areas.

The heavyweight 380gsm construction is specifically engineered for high-capacity spill response.

By absorbing larger volumes of liquid, heavyweight pads can reduce the number of individual absorbents required during clean-up compared with lower-capacity products.

The pads can be used as a standalone spill-response product or incorporated into spill kits, spill stations and workplace emergency-response systems.

Their compact flat format also makes them convenient to store near machinery, maintenance areas, workshops, warehouses and liquid-handling locations.

The grey colour is characteristic of Stratex's General Purpose absorbent range and helps distinguish these pads from specialised oil-only and chemical absorbent products.

This listing contains 100 × Stratex General Purpose Heavyweight Absorbent Pads.

As an Indigenous-owned industrial supplier and procurement partner, Supply Solutions Group provides Stratex absorbents, spill-control products, spill kits, PPE, environmental-protection products and industrial consumables backed by responsive customer service, procurement support and Australia-wide business supply capability.

Why Choose Stratex® Heavyweight General Purpose Absorbent Pads?

Stratex Heavyweight General Purpose Absorbent Pads provide a versatile solution for workplaces that may encounter multiple different types of liquid spills.

Rather than being designed exclusively for oil or one specialised chemical category, Stratex General Purpose Absorbents provide broad compatibility with:

• Water-based liquids

• Oils

• Fuels

• Coolants

• Solvents

• Most non-aggressive chemicals

This makes them particularly useful for workshops, warehouses, manufacturing plants and maintenance departments where the type of spill cannot always be predicted.

The 380gsm heavyweight construction provides increased absorbency for demanding spill-response tasks.

Higher-capacity pads can reduce the number of absorbents required during larger clean-ups, helping workers respond efficiently while reducing unnecessary pad changes.

Heavyweight 380gsm Construction

Stratex specifies these pads with a 380gsm heavyweight construction.

The heavier format is designed for:

• Larger spills

• Higher liquid volumes

• Demanding industrial environments

• Emergency spill response

• High-capacity liquid recovery

This differentiates the product from Stratex's standard general-purpose pads, which use a lighter construction intended primarily for routine leaks, drips and smaller spills.

500 × 400mm Pad Size

Each pad measures:

500mm × 400mm

This provides a substantial absorbent surface while remaining easy to handle and position.

The pads can be laid directly over spilled liquid or positioned beneath machinery and equipment where leakage may occur.

Centre Perforation

Each absorbent pad is perforated through the centre.

The perforation allows workers to divide the pad where a full 500 × 400mm sheet is unnecessary.

This provides several advantages:

• Reduces unnecessary absorbent consumption

• Provides smaller sections for minor spills

• Allows easier access to confined areas

• Helps match absorbent size to the task

• Can improve spill-response efficiency

Where the full absorbent capacity is required, the pad can simply be used intact.

General Purpose Liquid Compatibility

Stratex General Purpose Absorbents are designed for broad workplace spill control.

They can rapidly absorb appropriate:

• Water

• Water-based liquids

• Oils

• Fuels

• Coolants

• Solvents

• Most non-aggressive chemicals

This broad compatibility makes them particularly useful where workshops handle multiple fluid types.

Oil and Fuel Spills

Unlike specialised oil-only absorbents, general-purpose pads absorb both hydrocarbons and water-based liquids.

They can therefore be used for appropriate:

• Engine oil

• Hydraulic oil

• Lubricating oil

• Fuel

• Other compatible hydrocarbon spills

Where oil needs to be selectively absorbed while repelling water, such as marine or outdoor water applications, a specialised Stratex Oil & Fuel absorbent should be selected instead.

Coolant and Water-Based Spills

The pads can also absorb:

• Water

• Coolants

• Other compatible water-based liquids

This makes them useful around machinery, production equipment, workshops and maintenance areas where both oil-based and water-based liquids may be present.

Solvent and Non-Aggressive Chemical Spills

Stratex specifies the General Purpose range as suitable for solvents and most non-aggressive chemicals.

However, chemical compatibility should always be assessed before responding to an unknown or hazardous spill.

For aggressive chemicals such as strong acids or caustics, use an appropriate chemical absorbent designed specifically for hazardous chemical spill response.

Leaks and Drips

The pads are not limited to emergency spills.

They can also be positioned beneath appropriate:

• Machinery

• Pumps

• Vehicles

• Hydraulic equipment

• Workshop equipment

• Maintenance jobs

• Leaking components

This can help capture drips before they spread across surrounding surfaces.

Spill Kit Replacement Pads

Stratex absorbent pads can be used as replacement consumables in appropriate general-purpose spill kits and spill stations.

Maintaining adequate replacement absorbents helps ensure spill-response equipment remains ready after a previous incident.

Workplaces should inspect spill kits regularly and replenish used or contaminated components.

Spill Response Guidance

For an appropriate non-hazardous spill:

1. Identify the spilled liquid where possible.

2. Assess whether the liquid is compatible with a general-purpose absorbent.

3. Wear appropriate PPE.

4. Stop the source of the leak if safe to do so.

5. Prevent the spill from entering drains or environmentally sensitive areas.

6. Contain the spill where necessary.

7. Position Stratex absorbent pads over the pooled liquid.

8. Allow the pads to absorb the liquid.

9. Replace saturated pads as required.

10. Collect used absorbents safely.

11. Dispose of contaminated absorbents according to the substance absorbed and applicable workplace requirements.

For hazardous or unknown substances, follow the site's emergency spill-response procedure.

Important Disposal Information

Used absorbent pads take on the characteristics of the liquid they absorb.

Disposal requirements therefore depend on the contaminant.

Pads containing:

• Oil

• Fuel

• Solvents

• Chemicals

• Hazardous liquids

may require controlled disposal rather than ordinary general waste.

Always follow:

• Workplace waste procedures

• Safety Data Sheet requirements

• Environmental requirements

• Local waste-disposal regulations

Do not assume a used absorbent is non-hazardous simply because the unused polypropylene pad is a general-purpose product.

Important Safety Information

Industrial spill response should be carried out according to the hazards associated with the spilled substance.

Before cleaning a spill:

• Identify the liquid where possible

• Consult the relevant Safety Data Sheet

• Wear appropriate PPE

• Isolate ignition sources for flammable liquids

• Provide suitable ventilation where required

• Protect drains and waterways

• Keep unauthorised personnel away

• Use chemical-specific absorbents for aggressive chemicals

• Follow workplace emergency procedures

• Dispose of contaminated material correctly

General Purpose absorbent pads should not automatically be used for unknown or highly aggressive chemical spills.
