FAQs

What is the difference between oil absorbents and general purpose absorbents?

Oil absorbents absorb oil and fuel while repelling water.
General purpose absorbents absorb water, oils, and coolants and are not suitable for wet or marine environments.

Can absorbent booms be used around stormwater drains?

Yes. Booms are commonly placed around drains to contain spills and prevent pollutants entering stormwater systems.

Are spill absorbents suitable for hazardous chemicals?

Only hazchem-rated absorbents should be used for hazardous, corrosive, or reactive chemicals.

How often should absorbent consumables be replaced?

After use, or if damaged, contaminated, or missing from spill kits.
