Material Summary

Polypropylene chemical absorbents designed for corrosive and hazardous liquid spills. Absorbs acids, bases, aggressive chemicals, unknown substances, and mixed‑chemical spills. Bright yellow absorbents provide high visibility and clear hazard identification.  Includes Uni‑Safe chemical binder for stabilising alkalis, and soda ash neutraliser in selected kits for managing common workplace acids.

Suitability

Suitable for managing spills involving corrosive liquids (acids and alkalis), hazardous chemicals, aggressive fluids, and unknown substances.
Ideal for workshops, laboratories, manufacturing sites, chemical storage areas, transport depots, engineering facilities, and any environment where corrosive or hazardous chemical spills may occur.

Limitations

Not suitable for:  Oxidising acids (nitric, chromic, perchloric), hydrofluoric acid,  highly reactive chemicals requiring specialised neutralisation, and large‑scale chemical releases requiring emergency services

For cytotoxic drug spills, a Cytotoxic Spill Kit is required.

Compliance Note

Supports HSWA and EPA requirements for managing corrosive and hazardous chemical spills in New Zealand workplaces.
Neutraliser‑enhanced kits support compliant acid‑spill response where soda ash is appropriate.

PPE Kit (varies by environment)

Chemical Spill Kits include PPE appropriate for the environment they are used in.

Chemical PPE Kit:
Disposable Type 5/6 chemical‑resistant disposable coveralls
Safety goggles (medium impact splash protection)
P2 respirator
Chemical‑resistant gloves
Waste disposal bag
DG labels (hazard identification)
