Description
Overview:
The Osmo Water Absorbent Thirsty Sock is a flexible spill-control barrier designed to contain and absorb water-based leaks and minor floods around buildings and equipment. Each sock measures 1.0 m in length and 12 cm in diameter (approx. 3 ft 3 in by 4.7 in), and the pack contains three socks. A super-absorbent polymer core turns water into a stable gel, helping to trap liquid and reduce spread. The outer casing is a tough, flexible fabric that lays flat against floors, skirting and pipework, making it suitable for use around washing machines, fridges, radiators, window frames and similar fixtures. Quick to position in an emergency or to manage slow, persistent drips, these socks help protect surfaces, reduce slip risks and support tidy, safe working areas.
Key Features:
- Pack of 3 absorbent socks for water-based spill control and leak containment
- Dimensions per sock: 1.0 m x 12 cm (approx. 3 ft 3 in x 4.7 in) for easy placement around appliances and along thresholds
- Absorbency capacity: 3 litres, converting liquid into gel to minimise tracking and re-release
- Forms a barrier that helps channel and confine leaks, protecting floors, carpets and hard surfaces
- Flexible fabric casing conforms to corners, pipes and uneven floors for effective coverage
- Fast to deploy in emergencies; helps reduce slip hazards in wet areas
- Suitable for prolonged placement to manage slow leaks and condensation
- Compact for storage in workshops, site vans and plant rooms
- For use with water and water-based liquids; not suitable for oils, fuels or aggressive chemicals
Typical Applications:
Placing around the base of washing machines, fridges, radiators and toilets to catch drips; lining window sills or door thresholds against water ingress; surrounding pipe runs in plant rooms; creating temporary barriers in workshops, garages and utility rooms; providing quick control of small indoor water incidents during maintenance or cleaning tasks.
