Why chemical-rated
Safe containment for aggressive liquids
Chemical spill kits contain specially treated absorbents designed to safely handle aggressive liquids that standard oil or universal absorbents cannot. If your workplace handles acids, alkalis, solvents, or corrosive substances, you need chemical-rated absorbents to respond safely and compliantly.
Substance class matching
Chemical kits by the substance you actually handle
A universal kit is not a legal substitute where the COSHH assessment names an aggressive substance. Match the kit to the class.
Acids & alkalis
Sulphuric, nitric, hydrochloric, caustic soda, ammonia solutions. Use yellow-coded chemical absorbents; universal pads degrade and release absorbed acid.
Typical PPE: acid-resistant gloves, splash goggles, face shield, chemical apron.
Solvents & flammables
Acetone, MEK, IPA, toluene, xylene. Chemical absorbents rated for the substance class; DSEAR considerations apply where stored or used in quantity.
Typical PPE: nitrile or chemical-resistant gloves, anti-static kit in flammable zones.
Unknown / mixed hazardous
Labs, waste areas, or sites with multiple substances. Chemical kit with broad-compatibility absorbents; treat as worst-case until identified.
Typical PPE: chemical-resistant gloves and goggles as standard; upgrade per SDS.
Decision helper
Pick a chemical kit by setting
Chemical risks are about substance concentration as much as volume — these bands match most lab and process settings.

Compact kits for testing benches, small stores, and quality areas.
Best for
Labs, QC rooms, small chemical stores
Process area (50–120L)
Mid-size drum and holdall kits for chemical stores and processing lines.
Best for
Process areas, chemical stores, paint lines
Bulk (240L+)
Mobile wheelie-bin kits with PPE upgrades for bulk storage and manufacturing.
