New Pig MAT173 Universal Absorbent Pad 20x16 in 100-pack

Product Description

The NEW PIG MAT173 is a heavy-absorbency universal pad designed to contain and absorb a wide range of industrial fluids, including oils, coolants, solvents, and water. Constructed from polypropylene, each pad measures 20 inches in length and 16 inches in width, providing reliable surface coverage for spill control in active work areas. Sold in a case of 100 pads, this product is suited for facilities and service shops where fast, effective fluid management is a daily requirement. HVAC technicians, plumbers, mechanics, and industrial maintenance crews keep these pads on hand for routine fluid containment and emergency spill response.

The MAT173 pad is intended for universal application, meaning it performs across both petroleum-based and water-based fluids. Typical use scenarios include shop floor spill containment, drip protection under equipment during service calls, secondary containment for parts washing, and fluid cleanup during system maintenance. The heavy-absorbency rating makes it appropriate for situations involving larger fluid volumes or prolonged exposure rather than light-duty wiping tasks.

Installation Notes

Place pads directly under equipment, at drip points, or over spill areas before beginning service work. No tools are required for deployment. Used pads containing hazardous fluids such as solvents or refrigerant oils must be disposed of in accordance with local environmental regulations and applicable EPA guidelines. Do not use pads as a substitute for primary leak repair.
