MB-0556 hydrophobic absorbent sock for containing oil spills
The Melkib MB-0556 hydrophobic absorbent sock, also known as an absorbent mini-boom, absorbs oil and helps limit its spread beyond the source of a leak. Its dimensions of 8 cm × 1.2 m and weight of 0.4 kg distinguish this shorter version. The sock can be positioned beside a leak or around spilled liquid.
Bulk packaging: a carton containing 20 units of the product.
Applications in workshops and industrial maintenance
- Limiting the spread of oil across floors.
- Containing leaks near machinery and equipment.
- Creating an absorbent barrier in areas where oils are handled and stored.
Features and benefits
- 1.2 m length provides a shorter sock for the area that needs to be protected.
- Absorbent sock format allows the product to be positioned along the edge of a spill or beside the source of a leak.
- Hydrophobic properties mean that the product repels water and is intended for oil spills.
- 20 units per outer carton help with planning absorbent supplies for workstations.
When should you choose the MB-0556 version?
Choose MB-0556 when you need a 1.2 m absorbent sock to limit the spread of oil. If the area to be protected requires a longer section, Melkib also offers the MB-0555 version with a length of 3 m.
Oil absorbent mats can also be used to collect oil from a larger floor area. For water and water-based emulsions, select a universal absorbent suitable for the liquid concerned.
An absorbent sock does not eliminate the cause of a leak or replace repairs to leaking machinery or a system.

FAQ
Is a hydrophobic absorbent sock suitable for absorbing water?
It is not intended for absorbing water. Hydrophobic absorbent socks are used for oil spills. For water-based liquids, select a suitable universal absorbent.
How does an absorbent sock differ from an oil absorbent mat?
An absorbent sock can be arranged as a barrier to limit the spread of oil. A mat helps collect spilled liquid from a surface. Both types of absorbents can complement each other during spill cleanup.
Will the absorbent sock seal the source of a leak?
No. The sock absorbs liquid and helps limit its spread. The cause of the leak must be addressed by repairing the machinery or system.
