Spills and other pollution incidents can happen without warning, and in an emergency it always pays to be prepared. Unsure which safety equipment your facility needs?

Absorbents
At SpillShop, we offer a range of polypropylene absorbents, which can be used to absorb corrosive, oil-based and chemical spills. There are three different formats available; pads, pillows, and booms. Booms are used to contain spills, pillows to absorb leaks, drips, and spills, and pads to absorb liquids and wipe down plant and equipment. Please click the link to browse our range of absorbents.
Granules
Granular absorbents are a quick and easy way to absorb spilled oil, fuel, solvents, chemicals, paints and many other liquids. SpillShop stocks the SpillBoss brand of granules, which come in mineral, natural and organic types. Each type is appropriate for different liquids, so ensure that you choose one which suits your facility’s requirements. These granules are biodegradable and have a high absorption capacity.

Spill Kits
SpillShop carries an extensive range of spill kits, each of which contains absorbents which have been specially developed to contain and absorb spills of a particular type of liquid. We offer two types of spill kits: vehicle spill kits, which can fit inside most vehicle cabs and are ideal as a first response measure, and wheelie bin spill kits, which can be stored inside warehouses and facilities and easily moved around a site to the location of a spill.

Drain Protection
At SpillShop, we also offer drain protection solutions for your facility or business. Drain pollution guards are designed for use in square drainage pits anywhere debris and contaminants can enter stormwater, including on construction sites, in parking lots and at factories. These guards can fit almost any drain size, are easy to install, and come with a floating polypropylene bilge sock to absorb hydrocarbons. Drain covers are designed to stop spills going down drains, and will form a seal with almost any hard surface.
