Respond: Oil & Fuel Spills in Rain

Whether you’re contracted to clean up spills, maintain roads or attend to an accident, how do you clean up in the rain? Oil and fuel travels 100 times faster on the road surface in wet conditions, presenting hazards for road users. Granular absorbents are a popular method for absorbing these spills because they can fit into uneven road surfaces. But what about when it rains? Granular absorbents also absorb water, reducing their effectiveness and increasing waste; here’s why Spilltration Husky Absorbents are the ideal solution:

Innovative Technology

Traditional polypropylene absorbents do a good job of absorbing oil, but in heavy rain, water can bead on the surface affecting absorption. Furthermore, their inability to filter water can result in flooding on sloping road surfaces. By comparison, Spilltration Husky absorbents have unique properties to filter water whilst effectively trapping oil and fuel. Check out our do’s and don’ts to determine when to use Husky absorbents.

Husky Do’s:

Husky Rug Absorbing Oil in the Rain

  • Use to soak up oil and fuel
  • Use in wet weather conditions
  • Wring out and reuse as required

Husky Don’ts:

  • Don’t use indoors to absorb non-hydrocarbon spills
  • Don’t use to soak up oil spills on water – Husky absorbents are not hydrophobic

Convenient Formats & Packaging Options

Spilltration Husky absorbents are available in the below formats:

  • Pads (40cm x 40cm) Code: SPL002
  • Rolls (81.3cm x 7.6m) Code: SPL023
  • Rugs (81 x 122cm) Code: SPL007
