Introduction to Spill Absorbents
Spill absorbents are critical elements in the fight against spills and environmental pollution. Their role is to absorb a liquid spill so that it can easily be cleaned up. Using absorbents also prevents spills from spreading further or seeping into the ground.
Most often, absorbents are supplied as part of a spill kit. These kits may also contain booms to contain a spill, brushes to sweep up the contaminated absorbent, and waste bags to collect and dispose of the used absorbent.
There are different types of absorbents available for different types of spills. It is important to select the right absorbent for your application. Choosing an incompatible absorbent may make a spill worse or even add the risk of fire due to reactions between the absorbent and the chemical involved.
Types of Spill Absorbents
Absorbent Pads
Absorbent pads are made from materials like polypropylene or natural fibers that can trap liquids such as water, oil and chemicals with immediate effect. This gives rise to the fact that they are easy to handle in either industrial or home settings for no matter the size of the spill. They also offer quick and easy cleanup solutions.
Chemical Absorbents
Chemical absorbents are specially designed to deal with harmful things such as corrosive liquids and toxic chemical materials. These chemical powders or granules form a strong attachment with liquid spillage thereby making the clean up an easier and safer process, especially in laboratory, industry and industrial facilities.
Oil Absorbents
Engineered to keep the water away while impurities are filtered out, oil absorbents must be the first line of defense for oil spills in marine, industrial and transportation situations. These are available in the forms of pads, booms, socks, or pillows to reduce oil content, lessen the pollution and support the clean-up and disposal.
