Polyurethane Drain Protector
Polyurethane drain protectors create a temporary, chemical‑resistant seal over stormwater drains during a spill. They stop oils, fuels, coolants, and many chemicals from entering the drainage system, making them essential for workshops, service stations, transport yards, and industrial sites.
Key Features
• Creates a temporary, chemical‑resistant seal over stormwater drains • Blocks spills from entering the drainage system • Flexible polyurethane conforms to uneven surfaces • Reusable and easy to clean • Performs well in wet‑weather and outdoor conditions • Available in multiple sizes • Supports HSWA and EPA compliance
For non‑sealing diversion, use a Nitrile Mat
Suitable For
• Oils, fuels, coolants, and general workshop liquids • Many chemicals (check SDS for compatibility) • Workshops and mechanical bays • Service stations and forecourts • Transport yards and logistics sites • Industrial and processing areas
How Polyurethane Drain Protectors Work
• Placed directly over the drain opening • Soft polyurethane moulds to the surface • Creates a temporary seal to block liquid entry • Spill is then contained and absorbed using pads or loose absorbents • Protector is removed, cleaned, and stored for reuse
Sizes Available
• 600 × 600 mm • 915 × 915 mm • 1220mm x 1220mm
Why Polyurethane?
• Excellent resistance to oils, fuels, and many chemicals • Flexible and durable • Creates a reliable temporary seal • Ideal for emergency spill response
Maintenance
• Clean after each use • Inspect regularly for cuts or damage • Replace if the material becomes brittle or degraded
Compliance Note
If contaminants enter a stormwater drain, you must notify your Regional Council immediately. Polyurethane drain protectors help workplaces meet HSWA and EPA emergency management requirements by preventing spills from entering stormwater systems.
