Absorbent Pads

What are Absorbent Pads used for?

Thermasorb absorbent pads are used to remove and lock away unwanted liquids from most forms of packaging, whether in a small over-wrapped tray in a supermarket or a 40 foot shipping container travelling the high seas.

This section of the Thermasorb product range uses a Super Absorbent Powder to rapidly absorb unwanted water-based liquids into a gel and keep them away from produce or other moisture sensitive products during shipping and storage. All these pads have the ability to retain fluids within the pad itself so that no fluid is released even if it is under pressure.

Small Tray Pads

These light-weight and compact tray or soaker pads are designed to lock away blood or drip from meat, fish and poultry products while taking up the least possible space in the product packaging. Designed to improve the appearance of perishable products, they reduce the mess in the customers' kitchen and the lack of available moisture slows bacterial growth, increasing shelf life.

Medium Pads

A wide array of sizes and designs of medium pads means you can absorb liquids in most medium package sizes. Typically, these pads will be used in polystyrene or cardboard boxes weighing up to 20kg. Absorbencies range from 1 litre to 4 litres per pad.

Large Pads for Shipping Containers

Unwanted moisture in air and sea shipping containers prompted Thermasorb to develop a unique range of Large Pads. Absorbing up to 50 litres per sheet it is possible to fully protect both the contents and the container or aircraft.
