The kit contents come packed in yellow plastic overpack container for high-visibility storage before use, and for transport of waste after a cleanup. The socks have a chemically inert polypropylene filling and will absorb up to 1 quart of liquid per 12 inches of sock. Socks can be deployed in a variety of shapes to help contain liquid leaks and reduce the spread of spills on the floor. The pillows have a chemically inert polypropylene filling and can be used to absorb steady streams of liquid. The hazardous materials bonded pads are made of chemically inert polypropylene for absorbing all liquid spills including acids, bases, and unknown liquids. The gloves are made of latex-free rubber, and flock-lined to make them quick and easy to get on and off. The 6" light stick has a lanyard for holding or hanging and lasts for 12 hours, providing a light source with no risk of sparking or heat that could ignite hazardous liquids. This kit can help a facility meet emergency planning requirements, providing a benefit even if it's never used.
Spill kits are used to contain, clean up, and dispose of spilled liquids such as water, oil, and chemicals. Spill kits typically include absorbent products (such as socks, pillows, and pads), a disposal bag, and a closeable container for storage. Socks are tubular fabric sleeves, commonly known as skins or sheathing, that are filled with an absorbent material and can be placed around a spill as a barrier to absorb and control the spill. Pillows are closed fabric bags that are filled with an absorbent material and placed on top of a spill to absorb the liquid. Pads are made of layers of absorbent material and are placed on top of a spill to absorb the liquid. Spill kits also may include gloves, safety goggles, and manuals, among other items. Common names used to distinguish different kinds of kits include Universal (for the cleanup of oil and water), Oil Only (for the cleanup of oil on land or oil in marine environments), and Hazmat (for the cleanup of aggressive liquids such as acids). Spill kits are commonly used in industrial, marine, and automotive environments, among others.
