When you think of absorbents, what comes to mind? For many people, it’s sponges. However, the world of absorbents encompasses so much more than your average household products like rags and paper towels. In fact, it even goes further than standard industrial products like booms, mats, pads, and rolls. While the absorbents and related products in this list might not be as common, they’re quite useful in their applications. Which could you put to good use?
Drum Funnels
Yellow 55 and 30 gallon drum funnel
— Looking for a handy way to get the liquids you’d like to store into their drums? While they’re not absorbents, Drum Funnels can help you avoid spills and, therefore, the need for absorbent materials since they help with the drum-filling process. Durable Drum Funnels come in 55- and 30-gallon sizes, are made of 100% polyethylene, and are available with and without screens and covers for keeping dirt out.
Acid Neutralizer Absorbent
Have an acid spill? Know for sure with Acid Neutralizer Absorbent! This handy absorbent neutralizes and solidifies acids and also changes color in their presence to alert users when neutralization is complete. Quick, easy to use, and environmentally friendly, Acid Neutralizer Absorbent comes in a waterproof five-gallon pail and is great for battery acid spills.
Bollard Covers
Bollard-covers in various colors
Like Drum Funnels, these Bollard Cover products are not absorbents, but they do provide protection. Covers slip over and protect bollards, reducing the need for maintenance like painting while preventing bollard damage. The brighter color variants can also alert drivers to the presence of bollards, allowing them to avoid damage.
Cigarette Receptacles
Does anyone at your facility smoke? Offer them a designated place to put their butts and help keep your facility clean. Not only do Cigarette Receptacles stop discarded butts from harming the environment, they also offer smokers a convenient place to smoke and put their cigarettes out. In addition, they help prevent fires and come in a variety of styles and colors.
Granular Absorbents
Gran-sorb package
Need a natural, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly way to absorb spills on floors? Made of recycled or biodegradable materials, Granular Absorbents come in four styles: Gran-sorb, Super Sorbent, Peat Moss Absorbent, and Corn Cob Absorbent. Gran-sorb is the most popular and is made from paper mill waste, so it’s free of hazardous materials. Super Sorbent is a universal absorbent and comes in handy shakers for fast small-spill response. Peat Moss Absorbent is perfect for oil-only spills, is biodegradable, and can be incinerated. Corn Cob Absorbent is made from ground corn cobs and holds four times its weight in fluids.
