Chemical absorbent particulate is used for spills of strong acids, strong bases, coolant, paint, solvents, blood and hazardous liquids. Absorbent particulate features a large surface area and can be sprinkled onto and around the spill with precision.

Hazchem (also known as chemical) absorbents are made from meltblown polypropylene which are colour-coded pink for easy identification.  These absorbents are able to absorb up to 20 times their own weight in liquids and have a fast-wicking action to clean up spills quickly. Hazchem absorbents are inert and dust-free and will not degrade or chemically react with absorbed liquids.

• Absorbent particulate is ideal for chemical processing plants, paint and panel shops, chemical storage and handling facilities, transport warehouses, food and beverage processing plants, printing and automotive workshops.
• Particulate is ideal for placing on and around a spill to solidify and absorb.
• Absorbs and cleans up most acids, bases, paints, solvents, hydrocarbons inks, dyes and aggressive water based liquids on contact.
• Made from 100% meltblown polypropylene – able to absorb up to 20 times its own weight in liquid.
• Chemical absorbent particulate is an inert, surface-modified polypropylene which does not degrade or chemically react with the absorbed liquid.
• High absorbency to weight ratio = lower transport and disposal costs.
• Non-allergenic, non-hazardous with no dust.
• Fast wicking action allows quick clean up, reduces potential slip hazards and improves safety in the workplace.
• Simple to use without the need for specialised PPE.
• Colour-coded pink for easy identification.
• Absorbent capacity will vary depending on liquid viscosity, specific gravity and temperature.
• Polypropylene is compatible with and absorbs most acids and bases. The suitability with a specific chemical should be confirmed by referencing the MSDS, a compatibility chart or sample testing.
• Absorbents retain the characteristics of the absorbed liquid. Appropriate PPE should be worn and disposal of used absorbents should be in accordance with local regulations.
