New Pig’s absorbent mat pads instantly soak up water from weather events, equipment failures, spills, condensation and container overflows.

Absorbent mat pads New Pig’s line of absorbent mat pads instantly soak up small pools of water from weather events, equipment failures, spills, condensation and container overflows. Each high-capacity pad can absorb nearly 1 quart of water on contact. A spunbond top layer holds the pad together so it won’t fall apart when it's being handled, even when fully saturated. The pads can be purchased in a dispenser box, as a perforated roll or in packages of separate pads. They contain 60 percent pre-consumer recycled cellulose and can be wrung out and reused during a single clean-up before being thrown away.  

What’s new? The mat pads. 

Benefits Safety. They can prevent slip and fall injuries while also preventing damage to equipment and buildings. Additionally, they are cleaner and more efficient than mops, rags or towels, which can spread bacteria, mold and odors. The pads also create less waste than loose absorbents and wipes.
