General Purpose Spill Kits
General purpose spill kits help contain and clean up everyday spills involving water, coolant, oil and other non-aggressive liquids. Available in 40L to 240L sizes, these kits include absorbent pads, minibooms, MAXSorb floorsweep, protective gloves and disposal bags. Suitable for workshops, warehouses and plant rooms, they provide practical spill response solutions and can be restocked using general purpose absorbents.Â
General Purpose Spill Kits for Mixed Workshop and Warehouse Liquids
A general purpose spill kit is the default choice where no single liquid dominates. The absorbents are hydrophilic, meaning they take up water alongside oil and coolant, so one kit covers a workshop floor holding hydraulic oil, antifreeze and washdown water. That breadth is the point. Specifying an oil-only kit for a site with mixed liquids leaves gaps, and holding three separate specialist kits in a small workshop is rarely warranted.
The trade-off is worth understanding before specifying. Because these absorbents take up water, a kit used outdoors or on wet concrete will saturate with water before it reaches its rated capacity on the product you are actually trying to contain. For hardstands, bowsers and anywhere exposed to rain, an oil and fuel kit is the better fit. General purpose kits are not intended for aggressive chemicals, so sites holding acids or alkalis need hazchem absorbents instead.
Kit sizes step up with the scale of the spill rather than the volume stored. The 40L kit is a carry bag with one miniboom, 20 pads and 5kg of floorsweep, sized for a single decanting point or a vehicle. The 80L adds four minibooms, 50 pads and a brush and pan set for a drum store or plant room. The 240L kit moves into a labelled wheelie bin, carrying seven minibooms, 100 pads and 10kg of floorsweep for bulk storage areas. Position kits where spills actually happen, check contents on a routine schedule, and restock from refill kits after any use.
