Why choose these pads

• Engineered for hazardous chemicals – ideal for acids, alkalis and unknown liquids.
• High visibility yellow instantly flags hazmat risks to your team.
• Bonded construction for strength when saturated; resists linting and tearing.
• Perforated to reduce waste – tear off only what you need.
• Rapid wicking helps contain spread and reduce slip risk.
• Polywrapped to keep pads clean, dry and ready to deploy.

Features and benefits

• Chemical resistance: Performs in aggressive spill environments without breaking down during use.
• Absorbs a wide range of hazardous liquids: Effective on hydrofluoric, sulfuric, nitric, phosphoric and hydrochloric acids, many bases and other harsh chemicals.
• Clean, professional finish: Low-lint surface helps maintain tidy work areas and protects equipment.
• Cost-efficient usage: Perforations support precise dosing; helps lower cost per response.
• Flexible deployment: Use as pads, tear into smaller sections for wipes, or layer as temporary floor/bench protection.
• Supports COSHH good practice: Clear identification, fast containment and safer handling of spills.

Always assess chemical compatibility and associated risks before use. Follow your site’s COSHH and emergency procedures.

Typical applications

• Chemical plants and manufacturing
• Laboratories, R&D and education
• Maintenance and engineering workshops
• Decanting, dosing and dosing stations
• Storage areas, drum/IBC dispensing points
• Spill response kits and hazmat trolleys

What they absorb

• Acids (e.g. sulfuric, nitric, phosphoric, hydrochloric, hydrofluoric)
• Alkalis/caustics
• Water-based chemicals and many unknown liquids
• Not oil-only selective – choose oil-only pads when you need water-repellent oil pick-up

How to use (quick guidance)

1. Assess the spill, identify the liquid if possible, and wear appropriate PPE.
2. Place pads around the perimeter to contain, then over the spill to absorb.
3. Dispose of used pads as hazardous waste in line with local regulations and your site procedures.

Store pads in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Replace any packaging that becomes damaged to maintain readiness.

Compliance & disposal

• Supports COSHH-aligned spill response practices.
• Used pads and any contaminated materials must be treated as hazardous waste.
• Follow your waste contractor’s guidance and local regulations.

Material: Polypropylene. Can be incinerated in approved facilities. Recycling is not suitable once contaminated.
