Looking for the name of a material

I've attached the photos for ease. It's a fabric used for absorption, and will draw in both oil and water. When burned it curls up and solidifies like a plastic. To the best of my knowledge it is used in at least one shipyard for major oil spills and it comes in rolls about three feet wide. I want to know what it's called to try and buy more, and every attempt to google or LLM has given no matches. Thank you for any potential tips, and I will gladly answer more questions as to its properties if needed.
