Spill Kits

How to choose the right Spill Containment Kit for your work location

Types of Spill Containment Kits

There are basically three types of chemical spill kits. The type you choose will depend upon what liquids you may have to clean up in case of a spill. Aside from specialty spill kits, the three main types are:

1. Universal or General Purpose Kits: Made with gray absorbents to clean up both water based fluids and hydrocarbons. These are usually gray in color.
2. Oil Only Kits: Made with white absorbents that repeal water and float on water. Our oil spill kits are used to clean up hydrocarbons only (motor oil, jet fuel, diesel, gasoline, hydraulic oil, etc).
3. Hazmat Kits: Made with yellow absorbents to clean up aggressive fluids such as acids and solvents. Hazmat kits will absorb hydrocarbons as well as water based fluids.

Size of Spill: Determine the largest amount of spill you could have from a single container. Determine, based upon current regulations, the size of oil/chemical spill kits you will need. You do not necessarily need oil/chemical spill kits to clean up all of the liquid. That is why it is important to know the requirements for your industry and the type of chemicals on hand. If you have non-absorbent Drain Protector Drain Covers or Spill Containment Berm Dikes you can control the spill, vacuum up most of it and then use the oil/chemical spill kit to clean up the remainder.

Type of Container: Determine if they will be positioned inside or outside. For small volume spills use bagged or bucket oil/chemical spill kits. For large volume spills use drum or wheeled cart/mobile type kits will be necessary.

Custom Spill Containment Kits: We can build the custom oil/chemical spill kit you need because we build our spill clean up kits in our own facility. You can request different numbers of socks, pads or pillows then what is in our standard items. You can request a granular absorbent or peat moss be added to an oil/chemical spill kit. We can include pick up pans, brooms, drain covers or additional personal safety products. We are happy to work with you.

Beware Before You Purchase: When comparing oil/chemical spill kits and oil/chemical spill kit prices with other companies look at the contents as well as the price. How many pads, socks and pillows are included? What type of absorbents products are included? Are needed safety items for your employees included in the kit such as goggles, gloves and most of all instructions for use? ALL our spill containment kits include top quality bonded absorbents that are dimpled and perforated. Safety items such as gloves and goggles are standard. We have the some of the lowest prices on the internet when you compare quality and content. Contact us.
