• Absorbents float on water and will not sink when saturated
• Heavy duty UV stabilised watertight lockable container
• Forklift access for easy positioning
• This is a cost-effective spill kit with rapid clean-up benefits.
• Essential for your spill response plan and ideal for meeting requirements of ISO 14001

Recommended usage

• Primarily used for dealing with spills that pose an environmental threat.
• In lubricant dispensing areas
• Loading bays
• Flammable stores
• Drum stores.
• Hold centrally for emergency response.
• Tank overfills
• Tank roll overs
• Catastrophic incidence caused by vandalism or accident.

Fire resistance

• Good. (Physically flame-retardant).
• Incinerable to zero ash

Disposal

• Used sorbents may be disposed of by landfill or incineration, in accordance with local and national regulations, taking into account the classification of the liquid absorbed

Classification of waste

• We would always recommend that you check the latest details on the Government’s website to ensure you control and handle waste correctly

Training

If you are unsure of how to use absorbents, we have high quality 17 minute Spill Response and Pollution Prevention Training Video. Watch this short snippet

This training aid is available from Spill Kits Direct SKU: 504/04001 

Material are tested in accordance with:

ISO 10319:2024 (Geosynthetics, wide-width tensile test)

BS 7959-1:2004 (Materials used for the control of liquid spillages determination of sorbency)

• • The standard looks at the sorbent materials.
  • These are generally available in two basic types.
  • Hydrophobic grades (so-called oil sorbents) that pick up oils and other organic liquids but repel water and most aqueous solutions.
  • Hydrophilic grades, on the other hand, pick up both oils and organic liquid and most aqueous solutions of chemicals.
  • The absorbency is greatly influenced by the liquid viscosity and drainage time.
  • We quote minimum absorbencies based on laboratory tests carried out using SAE10W40 motor oil.
  • Tests are in line with the British Standard Test Method BS7959-1:2004 (30 second drainage time, at 20C) and maximum absorbencies with no drainage.
