Efficient ways to combat spills

Cheaper and more effective

Many industrial companies still use granular to clean up spills. When waste disposal and labour costs are taken into account however, the meltblown polypropylene SPC solutions provided by Brady are way more efficient and cost effective. They absorb up to 25 times their own weight meaning both the amount of product needed and the waste disposal cost are dramatically reduced. On top of this, Brady''s SPC products absorb typical spills in mere seconds and can be used and disposed of just like a towel, significantly reducing the amount of labour involved in cleaning up a spill. Unlike granular, meltblown polypropylene has no small particles which can damage machinery.

Various liquids

Brady''s SPC products come in three categories. “Coolants, solvents, gasoline, vegetable oil, kerosene and other water-based fluids are best removed with Universal absorbents”, says Dominique Roosen, EMEA Product Manager at Brady. “Oil only absorbents are developed specifically to quickly remove hydraulic, motor or cooking oil, brake fluid and turpentine. They do no absorb any water, making them ideal for outdoor and marine applications. Chemical absorbents are used against aggressive chemicals, citric acid, sodium hydroxide and others. We have colour-coded our spill control categories for easy use in the workplace.”
