Was dubious about buying, a bag, of the beeswift mp1 gloves, as I was actually looking for an alternate brand, I've had gloves before that were all bundled together, where the rubber was too hard and the material like an old rope, the company sent them out really fast delivery, individually wrapped, premium gloves, really happy, top drawer, as these will be stored in the garage, no damp or spider issues, big thanks to George @ gloves & stuff.

Decent gloves at a reasonable price. Delivered within a good delivery window. These gloves have reasonable longevity in medium workloads.

Good company to buy from; just took a bit longer than expected (9 days)from order to being despatched for delivery. The response was quick when I emailed them with a query. Will definitely use again.

C Cherie Rowdenvia Trustpilot

I've always had a good experience with this family run business, always able to ring and get any queries sorted. Quick delivery and products all as described on the website.
The process from order to delivery is smooth and stress free. I would definitely recommend them.

What an amazing company. I bought safety shoes from them and could not fault them with anything. Communication from the seller was spot on. Kept me updated on delivery times and delivery was super quick as well, not to mention that they had the best price out there. These shoes are so comfy :). Thank you very much, I would happily use them again and highly recommend to anyone. I am glad I did not cancel my order because of the previous bad reviews.

A pleasure to do business with George, Paul and the team. Have been using them for years and will continue to do so. Great customer service, speedy shipping and an extensive range of products.

Ordered some safety trainers as they offered the fastest delivery and lowest price. My order was a day late but this was due to a supply chain issue with the manufacturers. George kept me up to date and they still arrived before other company’s expected delivery date. The quality of the trainers are amazing and I will be definitely using this company again for my future supply’s.

Spill Oil Pads White 50 x 40cm  0.5 L x 200 pads

Portwest SM50 Oil Absorbent Pads 50x40cm Hydrophobic Spill Control

Regular price From £63.75 exc VAT £76.50 inc VAT

Description

Oil-Only Absorption That Floats on Water

The Portwest SM50 absorbent pads are engineered specifically for oil-based spills without picking up a drop of water. Whether you're dealing with hydraulic leaks, fuel spills, or lubricant drips, these hydrophobic pads float on water surfaces while selectively soaking up the oil. That makes them brilliant for marinas, workshops with water-based coolants, or anywhere oil and water mix. Each 50cm x 40cm pad absorbs half a litre, giving you serious capacity when spills happen.

Key Features:
  • Hydrophobic Technology: Repels water completely while absorbing oil-based fluids. The pads stay buoyant even when saturated, making them perfect for bilges, wet environments, and marine applications.
  • Rapid Absorption: Open-edge construction means liquid wicks in fast. Each pad handles 0.5 litres of hydraulic oil, fuel, lubricants, or vegetable oil before it spreads across your workshop floor.
  • Hot-Air Drawn Polypropylene: Tough enough for industrial environments. Won't fall apart when you're mopping up messy hydraulic leaks or machinery maintenance spills.
  • BS Standards Compliant: Meets British Standards BS 7959-1, BS 7959-2, and BS 7959-3 for industrial spill management. Your first line of defence that ticks all the health and safety boxes.
  • High-Volume Pack: This carton contains 200 pads (supplied as 2 inner packs of 100). Ideal for busy workshops, maintenance teams, and anywhere oil spills are part of the job.
  • Versatile Applications: Designed for hydraulic systems and oil-based liquid spills. Works brilliantly for machinery maintenance, vehicle workshops, and industrial facilities handling lubricants and fuels.

Portwest's SM50 oil-only absorbent pads give you reliable spill control that complies with all relevant health and safety regulations. The white colour makes it easy to see saturation levels, so you know when to swap them out. Stock up with 200 pads and you're covered for whatever oil spills come your way.

Safety Standards

  • BS 7959-1 - Specification for general purpose absorbents
  • BS 7959-2 - Guidance on selection and use of general purpose absorbents
  • BS 7959-3 - Specification for oil-only absorbents
