PIG Blue Absorbent Sock spill containment socks, 3" x 4' — 40-count, 95 oz capacity per sock, heavy-duty diking barrier

PIG Blue Absorbent Socks are heavy-duty diking cords filled with vermiculite that stop spills and absorb up to 95 ounces per sock.

This 40-count box of PIG Blue Absorbent Socks (3" diameter x 4' long) is engineered to form temporary barriers around leaks, contain run-off from machine failures, and soak up most common industrial fluids. The stitch-bonded polypropylene skin and fine-grade vermiculite core work together to trap liquids—oils, coolants, solvents and water—while resisting bursting and minimizing dust. Socks can be air-dried and reused when used only with water, making them a practical option for routine shop maintenance and emergency spill control.

How do these socks keep spills from spreading?

The cylindrical design and dense filler let the sock conform to floors and equipment bases, creating an immediate dam that redirects and contains liquid flow. Extra-dense construction helps the sock remain in place even during cleanup activities.

• 3" diameter hugs uneven surfaces to block seepage
• 4' length covers large perimeter areas quickly
• High-fill density prevents easy displacement
• Stitch-bonded skin resists tearing while containing fluid

What liquids will these absorb and how much?

PIG Blue Socks absorb most industrial fluids, including oils, water, solvents and coolants. Each sock holds up to about 95 ounces when fully saturated, making them suitable for capturing moderate leaks and channeling spills away from sensitive areas.

• Effective on oil-based and water-based liquids
• 95 oz absorption capacity per sock
• Fine vermiculite filler accelerates uptake
• Works well in both planned maintenance and emergency response

Are these socks durable and reusable?

The outer skin is polypropylene and stitch-bonded to reduce bursting and dust generation, giving robust performance under foot traffic and during handling. If socks are used only with water, they can be air-dried and reused; for petroleum or chemical contamination, dispose according to local regulations.

• Polypropylene skin resists abrasion and tearing
• Stitch-bond construction holds filler even when saturated
• Reusable after water-only use via air-drying
• Follow disposal rules for hazardous liquids

How does this product fit into a shop or facility spill plan?

Keep a box of these socks near machinery, loading docks, or workstations prone to leaks and drips to enable immediate containment. Their length and flexibility make them quick to deploy for diking, draining to a sump, or creating temporary flow paths to absorbent mats or drains that are already protected.

• Store near high-risk equipment for rapid response
• Use to create temporary channels to absorbent pads or catch basins
• Ideal for shops, warehouses, service bays and industrial floors
• Packaged in a 40-count box for frequent use or team deployment

Who this is for: Maintenance teams, facility managers, mechanics and safety crews who need a reliable, heavy-duty cord to dike and absorb industrial spills quickly. Choose PIG Blue Absorbent Socks when you want a high-capacity, low-dust solution that stays in place, handles a wide range of fluids, and integrates into established spill response procedures.
