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.
Check your local Council website for stormwater drains as each region may differ.

⭐ Frequently Asked Questions
• What does a polyurethane drain protector do It creates a temporary seal over a drain to stop spills from entering the stormwater system.
• Are polyurethane drain protectors reusable Yes — they can be cleaned and reused multiple times if properly maintained.
• Are they chemical‑resistant Yes — polyurethane resists oils, fuels, coolants, and many chemicals. Always check the SDS for compatibility.
• Can they be used in wet weather Yes — they perform well on wet surfaces and outdoor areas.
• Do they work on uneven surfaces Yes — the flexible polyurethane conforms to most surfaces to create a seal.
• What should I do if a spill enters a drain Notify your Regional Council immediately — this is a legal requirement in NZ.
