Harsh Chemical Spill-Control Kits

Be prepared for a variety of chemical spills at your worksite.

Kits for solvents include a granular sorbent for soaking up fuel, thinners, and other spills, as well as a liquid microbial cleaner for treating the solvent. The liquid cleaner reduces harmful and flammable vapors and reduces flammability by raising the flash point of the absorbed spill to 140° F.

Kits for hydrofluoric acid include a granular sorbent that neutralizes hydrofluoric acid for safe removal.

Kits for formaldehyde include a granular sorbent that neutralizes and absorbs formaldehyde and suppresses its harmful vapors. While cleaning up formaldehyde often involves using separate sorbents and neutralizers, the sorbents in these kits do both.

Kits for ammonia include a liquid neutralizer. Pour or spray the neutralizer onto the spill, even when it's on a vertical surface. The liquid neutralizer binds with the ammonia to form safe organic salts.

Kits for acids, bases, hydrofluoric acid, formaldehyde, and solvents include a neutralizing granular sorbent for acid spills, such as battery or hydrochloric acid, and one for base spills, such as sodium hydroxide. They also include separate granular sorbents for neutralizing hydrofluoric acid and formaldehyde. Kits have a granular sorbent for neutralizing solvents that captures harmful vapors and elevates the flash point of the spill to 140° F to reduce flammability.

Neutralization Tanks

For safe and legal disposal of corrosive chemicals, these tanks neutralize acid waste before it drains into sewer systems. Fill them with limestone chips (sold separately), which chemically react with waste to reduce its acidity. Often used in labs, these tanks rest on a solid surface below your sink. The inlet attaches to your sink drain where a P-trap would go, and the outlet threads into your drain pipe. These tanks are made of either polypropylene or polyethylene to withstand prolonged contact with harsh chemicals.

Choosing a tank size involves several factors, including how much waste you generate and the types of chemicals you plan to treat. For effective neutralization, waste should spend three hours in your tank before exiting via gravity flow. Select a tank that is greater in size than the volume of chemicals you plan to dispose of in a three-hour period.

Before use, fill your tank up to the outlet with limestone chips. One 50-lb. bag of chips will fill a five-gallon tank. Schedule regular maintenance to clean your tank and check the chip level—neutralization will erode chips over time. Disposing of non-chemical waste, such as coffee grounds, into these tanks will make the limestone chips less effective.

Style B and C tanks have larger capacities to process greater amounts of waste.
