Nitrile Rubber Mats
Nitrile rubber drain mats act as a temporary barrier over stormwater drains during a spill. They help block and divert liquids, reducing the risk of oils, fuels, coolants, and general workshop contaminants entering the stormwater system. These mats are ideal for workshops, service stations, transport yards, and outdoor work areas.
Key Features
• Acts as a temporary barrier over stormwater drains • Helps block and divert spills away from drainage systems • Oil‑ and fuel‑resistant nitrile rubber • Suitable for most workshop liquids • Reusable and easy to clean • Performs well in outdoor and wet‑weather conditions • Flexible material conforms to uneven surfaces • Supports HSWA and EPA compliance
For chemical‑resistant sealing, use a Polyurethane Drain Protector
Suitable For
• Oils, fuels, coolants, and general workshop liquids • Outdoor areas, forecourts, and wash‑down zones • Workshops, mechanical bays, service stations • Transport yards and industrial sites • Not suitable for strong acids or alkalis
How to Use a Nitrile Drain Mat
• Identify the spill and ensure it is safe to approach • Place the mat directly over the drain • Contain and absorb the spill using pads or loose absorbents • Remove the mat once the area is safe • Clean and store for future use
Sizes Available
• 750mm x 1000mm x 1.5mm thick
• 1000mm x 1200mm x 3mm thick
Why Nitrile Rubber?
• Resistant to oils, fuels, and many workshop liquids • Durable and long‑lasting • Performs well on concrete, and asphalt
Compliance Note
If any contaminant enters a stormwater drain, you must notify your Regional Council immediately. Nitrile drain mats help prevent environmental contamination and support HSWA and EPA emergency management requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
• What are nitrile rubber drain mats used for Nitrile mats act as a temporary barrier over stormwater drains to help block and divert spills during an incident.
• Do nitrile mats create a watertight seal No. They are designed to block and slow liquid flow, not form a full chemical seal. For sealing, use polyurethane drain protectors.
• Are nitrile mats chemical‑resistant They are oil‑ and fuel‑resistant and suitable for most workshop liquids. They are not suitable for strong acids, alkalis, or aggressive corrosives.
• Can nitrile mats be used outdoors Yes — they perform well on concrete, asphalt, and wet‑weather surfaces.
• Are nitrile mats reusable Yes. They can be cleaned and reused multiple times if not damaged by the spill.
• What size drain mat do I need Choose a mat that fully covers the drain opening with extra overlap on all sides.
• What should I do if a spill enters a drain Notify your Regional Council immediately — this is a legal requirement in NZ.
