Product Overview
The SM15 Maintenance Roll is a fundamental asset for any workshop or industrial environment where fluid management is a priority. Designed to be both a preventative measure and a rapid response solution, this substantial roll offers a reliable method for keeping floors dry and safe. Its generous dimensions and high-capacity absorption make it a staple for maintaining professional standards in high-traffic areas.
Key Features
- High Absorption Capacity: A single roll is capable of soaking up to 60 litres of both water and oil-based liquids, ensuring major spills are contained efficiently and safely.
- Open-Edge Design: The open edges are specifically engineered for quick wicking, allowing liquids to be drawn into the material immediately upon contact to prevent spreading.
- Versatile Dispensing: The roll format allows for easy dispensing, enabling you to tailor the length of the absorbent material to the specific size of the spill or the length of a walkway.
Design & Performance
Constructed from Meltblown Polypropylene (MBPP), this maintenance roll is engineered for structural integrity even when fully saturated. The MBPP material is chosen for its superior capillary action, which ensures that fluids are not just moved around, but are trapped within the fibres. The grey colour is a practical choice for industrial settings, as it effectively masks the appearance of absorbed oil and grime, maintaining a tidier appearance in the workplace until the material is replaced.
Why No Customisation?
This product is a technical consumable designed for spill control and safety. We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or printing, on this item because it is intended for floor use and rapid liquid absorption. Adding branding would not only be impractical given the item's disposable nature but could also potentially interfere with the material's wicking properties, which are critical for its performance as a safety product.
Use Cases
The SM15 is primarily intended for use in workshops, garages, and manufacturing plants. It is exceptionally well-suited for lining walkways where minor leaks or overspray might occur, preventing slip hazards before they develop. It is also an essential resource for maintenance teams tasked with managing larger leaks involving oil or water-based coolants during machinery repairs.

Practical Advice
When deploying the roll in a walkway, ensure it is laid flat to avoid trip hazards. For larger spills, it is often more effective to surround the perimeter of the liquid first to prevent further spreading, before covering the centre. If you are dealing with particularly heavy machinery, consider checking the roll regularly, as consistent saturation can occur over time in leak-prone areas.
Caring for your product
To ensure the maintenance roll retains its full absorbent capacity, it must be stored in a cool, dry environment. Moisture in the storage area will degrade the wicking performance of the Meltblown Polypropylene before it even reaches your workshop floor, rendering it less effective during an emergency.
Once the roll has been used to absorb liquids, it must be handled and disposed of according to local environmental regulations. If the roll has absorbed oils or hazardous chemicals, it should be treated as hazardous waste. Failing to dispose of saturated materials correctly can lead to environmental contamination and may violate workplace safety laws.
