Leak & Spill Absorbent Socks

M² Polymer Technologies offers several styles of high-performance, custom superabsorbent polymer socks to meet nearly any need and any technical specification.  Beside the traditional “Sausage Style” sock, we offer two, unique leak & spill absorbent sock alternatives — The “Skinny Sock” and the “Teabag”.

Product Advantages

Our leak & spill absorbent socks are made at a facility in Washington State and are shipped across the USA and Internationally.  All products are made on a custom basis to meet specific customer needs for performance and cost.

We blend various types of fibers with the granular Waste Lock® 770 superabsorbent polymer to achieve very high absorbencies — up to two gallons of water per linear foot!

Waste Lock® Sausage Style Socks

All super absorbent polymer socks are produced on a custom basis in a wide variety of lengths and diameters.  Some products require ropes on the ends.  Our most popular style is an 8 foot sock that is 5 inches in diameter and absorbs one-gallon per linear foot — 8 gallons over its entire length!

Waste Lock® Skinny Socks

The “Skinny Sock” is a UNIQUE INNOVATION from M² Polymer Technologies.   It offers much of the weight of a conventional sausage sock but in a compact form that allows more units to be packaged per case and per pallet.

Waste Lock®  Superabsorbent Teabags

This radically innovative product designed and offered by M² Polymer Technologies uses a heavy duty, laminated, melt blown polypropylene roll as the outer “skin” that is folded in half and sewn with several pockets holding the granular Waste Lock® 770 superabsorbent polymer.  Our most popular size an eight feet long and absorbs 10-12 gallons of water.

Waste Lock® Absorbent Socks - FAQs

What types of absorbent socks does M² Polymer Technologies offer?
M² Polymer Technologies offers three distinct sock formats, all manufactured on a custom basis at our facility in Washington State: (1) Sausage Style Socks — the classic cylindrical format available in a wide range of lengths and diameters with optional rope ends; (2) Skinny Socks — a compact innovation offering high absorbency in a smaller form factor, allowing more units per case and pallet; and (3) Teabag Style — an innovative heavy-duty laminated melt-blown polypropylene product with sewn pockets of Waste Lock® 770 granules, delivering exceptional capacity per unit.
Capacity depends on sock style and dimensions. Our most popular Sausage Style sock is 8 feet long by 5 inches in diameter and absorbs 1 gallon per linear foot, totaling 8 gallons over its full length. Our most popular Teabag product is also 8 feet long and absorbs 10-12 gallons of water. Custom sizes with varying dimensions, fiber blends, and absorption targets are available for specific customer requirements.
Waste Lock® Socks are used for: perimeter berms around liquid waste storage areas and active spill sites, secondary containment berms around above-ground storage tanks, trench drain and channel liquid containment, drum seal and container berm applications, spill response perimeter control during environmental remediation operations, and stormwater inlet protection. The sock format allows placement in specific locations where granular or roll-format SAP is not practical.
Yes. All products are manufactured on a custom basis. M² Polymer Technologies blends various fiber types with Waste Lock® 770 granules to achieve specific absorbency profiles, dimensions, and durability characteristics. Custom lengths, diameters, outer fabric materials, fiber blends, and end treatments (including rope ends for retrieval from drainage channels) are available. Contact us at (847) 836-1393 to discuss your project requirements.
Yes. The Waste Lock® 770 polymer inside our socks is a non-biodegradable sorbent listed under 40 CFR 264.314(e)(ii), confirming it will not break down in use or under landfill conditions and will not release absorbed liquids. Safety Data Sheets are available for all sock products in the Resources section of our website.

All Waste Lock® Absorbent Socks are manufactured at a dedicated facility in Washington State, USA, and shipped throughout the United States and internationally. Because products are made on a custom basis to meet specific performance and cost requirements, lead times vary.
