McMaster-Carr

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.

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.

Tabletop Spill-Control Dikes

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

Water-Activated Spill-Control Dikes

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

Sorbents

Absorb spilled liquids and keep them from spreading.

Recycled Sorbents

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

Sorbents for Harsh Chemicals

Pick up virtually any chemical spill, including fuming acids and strong oxidizers.

Sorbent Pads with
Wall-Mount Dispenser

Soak up oil and water spills as soon as they happen—mount these dispensers on break room walls, near machinery, or anywhere spills may occur.

Multi-Shape Sorbents

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

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.

Corn-Cob Sorbents

These extremely flexible socks mold easily around corners and conform to uneven surfaces to soak up spills.

Sorbent Pads for Floor Signs

Store these sorbent pads on your wet-floor sign, so you can quickly soak up oil and water spills while alerting others.

Food Industry Sorbents

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

Adhesive-Back Sorbent Rolls

Sweep, mop, and vacuum over these sorbents, and the adhesive will hold them in place.

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.

Super-Absorbent Granular Sorbents

These sorbents quickly absorb more liquids than other granular sorbents. Pour them over chemical, oil, and water spills and then sweep them away for easy cleanups.

Work Surface
Leak-Resistant Sorbents

These sorbents combine a paper surface with a coated underside to protect work surfaces from stains and harsh chemicals.

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.

Sand Bags

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

Spill-Control Sorbent Kits

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

Food Industry Spill-Control Kits
