The PIG Ceiling Tile Absorbent Pad provides a discreet and highly effective measure against minor ceiling leaks and nuisance drips. Specifically designed to rest inconspicuously atop standard ceiling tiles, this heavyweight pad incorporates a vital leakproof barrier. This feature ensures that any absorbed liquids be they water, coolants, or oils are reliably contained, thereby preventing aesthetic damage, discolouration, and structural degradation of the ceiling tiles below.

Implementing this absorbent pad is an exceptionally simple yet crucial step in preventative maintenance, particularly within office spaces, retail environments, or any facility utilising a drop-ceiling grid system. The pad’s core is constructed from 100% polypropylene, a heavyweight material that delivers high absorbency across a broad spectrum of fluids, from simple water ingress to various oils and solvents.

Furthermore, a significant design advantage is its integrated poly backing. This impervious layer ensures that the liquid captured by the absorbent top layer cannot seep through and stain the tile, preserving the appearance of the workspace whilst the leak is being professionally addressed. Being both low-profile and lightweight, the pad won't interfere with the infrastructure above the ceiling or contribute to the sagging of the tile, which often happens with makeshift solutions. Supplied in boxes of 25, these pads offer an efficient, economical, and aesthetically mindful way to protect your building's interior finishes from costly and visible water damage.

1. How is the Ceiling Tile Absorbent Pad installed?

Installation is exceedingly straightforward and requires no tools. Simply lift the affected ceiling tile from the grid, place one of the absorbent pads directly on top of the tile's upward-facing surface, and carefully replace the tile. The pad is designed to rest flush and discreetly on the tile.

2. Can this pad handle a major leak, or is it only suitable for small drips?

This product is specifically engineered for minor nuisance drips and small leaks. For significant water ingress or a high-volume leak, we strongly recommend deploying a dedicated PIG® Leak Diverter Tarp system to manage and redirect the large volume of fluid away from the affected area.

3. Will the pad become saturated and cause the ceiling tile to sag or collapse?

The pad itself is lightweight, and though it is heavyweight absorbent material, the overall weight is considered low-profile. It's designed to contain water without adding excessive weight. However, we do recommend routine inspection to ensure the pad isn't saturated and to address the underlying leak source promptly.

4. What types of fluids can this polypropylene pad absorb effectively?

The pad utilises a universal absorbent composition, meaning it is highly effective at capturing a wide range of common industrial and building fluids. This includes general water ingress, glycols, coolants, oils, and numerous solvents, offering versatile protection for the ceiling tile.

5. How does the pad prevent staining of the ceiling tile?

The pad features an integral poly backing on its underside. This non-permeable layer acts as a definitive barrier, ensuring that once the fluid is absorbed and held within the polypropylene fibres, it cannot leach through the pad and subsequently discolour or stain the vulnerable face of the ceiling tile.
