Harsh Chemical Spill-Control Kits

Be prepared for a variety of chemical spills at your worksite.

For Solvents

Kits for solvents include sorbent granules for soaking up fuel, thinners, and other spills, as well as a liquid microbial cleaner for treating the solvent. The liquid cleaner reduces harmful and flammable vapors and reduces flammability by raising the flash point of the absorbed spill to 140° F.

For Formaldehyde

Kits for formaldehyde include sorbent granules that neutralize and absorb formaldehyde and suppress its harmful vapors. While cleaning up formaldehyde often involves using separate sorbents and neutralizers, the sorbents in these kits do both.

For Ammonia

Kits for ammonia include a liquid neutralizer. Pour or spray the neutralizer onto the spill, even when it's on a vertical surface. The liquid neutralizer binds with the ammonia to form safe organic salts.

Kits for acid, bases, hydrofluoric acid, formaldehyde, and solvents include neutralizing sorbent granules for acid spills, such as battery or hydrochloric acid, and one for base spills, such as sodium hydroxide. They also include separate sorbent granules for neutralizing hydrofluoric acid and formaldehyde. Kits have sorbent granules for neutralizing solvents that captures harmful vapors and elevates the flash point of the spill to 140° F to reduce flammability.

Neutralization Tanks


Style A	Style B

For safe and legal disposal of corrosive chemicals, these tanks neutralize acid waste before it drains into sewer systems. Fill them with limestone chips (sold separately), which chemically react with waste to reduce its acidity. Often used in labs, these tanks rest on a solid surface below your sink. The inlet attaches to your sink drain where a P-trap would go, and the outlet threads into your drain pipe. These tanks are made of polyethylene to withstand prolonged contact with harsh chemicals.

Choosing a tank size involves several factors, including how much waste you generate and the types of chemicals you plan to treat. For effective neutralization, waste should spend three hours in your tank before exiting via gravity flow. Select a tank that is greater in size than the volume of chemicals you plan to dispose of in a three-hour period.

Styles A and B—Style A and B tanks have larger capacities to process greater amounts of waste.

Limestone Chips

Before use, fill your tank up to the outlet with limestone chips. One 50-lb. bag of chips will fill a five-gallon tank. Schedule regular maintenance to clean your tank and check the chip level—neutralization will erode chips over time. Disposing of non-chemical waste, such as coffee grounds, into these tanks will make the limestone chips less effective.
