Sorbents and Spill Control

Water-Activated Flood Barriers

No more filling and carrying heavy sandbags—just add water to these flat, lightweight barriers, and they expand to block flooding.

Sorbents

Absorb spilled liquids and keep them from spreading.

Sorbents for Heavy Metals

Reduce lead, zinc, mercury, and other heavy metals in wastewater and storm water while letting water flow through.

Recycled Sorbents

Made from 80% recycled newsprint and cellulose, these sorbent pads, rolls, and socks are more absorbent than polypropylene sorbents.

Outdoor Sorbents

Keep oil out of soil and fuel out of drains. These sorbents cling to oil but let water pass through, so you can leave them outside for weeks to catch oil spills and leaks.

Clean Room Sorbents

Absorb spills, catch drips, and control leaks in clean room environments. These sorbents are cleaned and bagged and don’t release as much lint or dust as other sorbents.

Multi-Shape Sorbents

No need to stock several sorbent sizes—these unfold for use as a pad, roll, or pillow.

Food Industry Sorbents

Soak up spills and leaks in areas where food is present.

Flood Gates

Protect your facility from flooding and water damage. The steel plates on these gates handle the pressure of flood waters, and the neoprene sleeve seals out water at the base and sides.

Water-Activated Spill-Control Dikes

These dikes lay flat until they absorb water, then swell to form barriers.

Tabletop Spill-Control Dikes

Form a barrier to stop small spills from spreading on tabletops and workstations with these flexible rubber dikes.

Spill-Control Dikes

Create a barrier to stop spills from spreading. Dikes bend to form almost any shape you need. They resist oil, water, and most chemicals, and are nonabsorbent, washable, and reusable.

Sand Bags

Fill these bags with sand to block flood waters, create barriers, and weigh down equipment.

Acid and Base Spill-Control Kits

These kits have everything you need to safely clean up acid and base spills.

Food Industry Spill-Control Kits

Packed in a bag, these portable kits contain all the supplies you need to quickly clean up spills in areas where food is present.

Spill-Control Sorbent Kits

These kits have everything you need when a spill occurs, even bags for disposal.

Acid and Base Neutralizing Sorbents

Not only do these socks and pillows dam spills and sop up leaks, they also neutralize the pH level so you can dispose of them safely. Keep them in areas where acids or bases are used, such as in metal treating, chemical processing, and laboratory applications.

Spill-Control Containers

Spill-Control Berms

Prevent slipping hazards by surrounding equipment that might leak or create condensation.

Collapsible Spill-Control Berms

Larger than collapsible spill-control trays, these berms hold from 180- to 2,150 gallons and collapse for easy storage.

Collapsible Spill-Control Trays

A flexible alternative to spill-control pallets, these trays collapse when not in use for easy storage and have spill capacities up to 60 gallons.

Load Securing and Stabilizing

Weight Bags

Hold down equipment and balance loads with these bags.

Hanging Weight Bags

Use the adjustable strap to suspend these bags from rigging, booms, and other equipment that you need to balance.

Roll-Up Weight Bags

Unroll these bags to distribute their weight over a large surface or roll them up to concentrate it in one spot.

Canopy Weights

Any way the wind blows, keep your tent or canopy secure.
