Spill Containment Bulletin: Expert Tools & Tactics

In this Spill Containment Bulletin, we highlight some of the top spill containment products available in our Fluidtrans Online Store, carefully selected to ensure efficiency and safety in managing spills of all types.

Spill Kits

IFS offers a wide range of spill kits and individual supplies, each carefully curated to meet various spill management needs. Our selection includes high-quality products like coco peat, absorbent pillows and socks, waste bags, wheelie bins, and more. We also provide the essential tools for effective cleanup, including shovels, brooms, and basic personal protective equipment (PPE), all designed to ensure a quick, efficient, and thorough process.

You can choose from specialized options tailored to the type of spill you’re dealing with, including chemical spill kits, universal kits (ideal for non-aggressive chemicals, fuels, and hydrocarbons), paint spill kits, and oil spill kits. Each kit is designed to help you address specific types of contaminants and provide the necessary resources for a safe and effective cleanup.

Absorbent Pillows, Booms & Socks

Some spills may seem beyond control, but an effective cleanup is always within our reach. Water pollution caused by oils and chemicals can be extremely hazardous, but products like absorbent socks and booms are designed to tackle these types of contamination. These absorbents float and do not absorb water, which is a key feature in their design. This allows them to be used both on land and in water. Even when fully saturated, they will not sink, and since they can’t be wrung out, you can be confident that the oils or chemicals they absorb are securely contained.

Absorbent pillows are another great option for quickly and effectively cleaning up lighter spills. Like the socks and booms, they do not absorb water and cannot be wrung or washed out for reuse. Be sure to dispose of these products properly after use for safe and responsible spill management.

*Available in a variety of sizes.

Spill Absorbents

Our spill containment absorbent range is as varied as the types of spills you may encounter in your workshop or garage. Whether it’s oils, acids, chemicals, or other hazardous substances, IFS offers reliable solutions to manage them all.

We also provide remediation agents designed to remove pollutants or contaminants from environmental mediums like soil or surface water. These products are available in loose bags of various sizes or as part of a complete spill kit. Here’s a look at some of our offerings:

  • Coco Peat for oils, diesel, and fuel spills
  • Acid Absorbent Scatter for gels, acids, and bases
  • Acid Absorbent Powder for gels, acids, and bases
