Clean Up Messes Fast With Our Spill Containment Kits!

Let’s face it - leaks and messes are bound to happen when you’re in a fast-paced factory, shop, or job site where liquids are present. 

But, they don’t have to bog down the flow of work or lead to a more serious issue, such as a slip or fall. 

Our spill containment kits will help you get messes cleaned up quickly and safely, no matter what type of liquid you’re dealing with. We have a wide range of options to choose from, whether you’re dealing with oil, chemicals, or simply water.

And when you shop at AbsorbentsOnline, you get the most value out of your investment. Our products are just as quality as they are affordable, so you don’t have to break the bank keeping your workplace safe, clean, and compliant.

What Are The Different Types Of Spill Kits At AbsorbentsOnline?

There are basically three types of spill containment kits. The type you choose will depend upon what liquids you deal with the most. Aside from specialty spill kits, the three main types are:

• Universal Spill Kit - Made with gray absorbents to clean up both water based fluids and hydrocarbons. These are usually gray in color.

• Oil Spill Kit - Made with white absorbents that repel 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).

• Hazmat Spill Kit - 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.

On top of the type of liquid you need to clean up, you should also consider a few other factors. Let’s take a look at those now.

How Big Are Your Spills?

We encourage you to determine the largest amount of spill you could have from a single container. Keep in mind that you don’t necessarily need your kit to be able to clean up all of the liquid. This mainly varies based on industry and chemical-type. 

For example, let’s say you were smart and also snagged some non-absorbent drain covers or spill containment berm dikes to control the spill. From there, you can vacuum up most of it and then use the hazmat or oil spill kit to clean up the remainder of the liquid.

Consider Container Type As Well

Along with the size of your worst potential spill, consider where your containers are located - indoors or outdoors. The type of container matters, too. 

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.
