Absorbing Spills
How much liquid can each Absorbent Pad absorb?
Generally, this depends on several factors: the viscosity (which is the fluidity) of the liquid you’re absorbing; the temperature of the liquid (the hotter the liquid the more it will absorb) and lastly the ground surface where it was spilled (5 litres of liquid spilled down a hill on a rough surface will need more Mats/Pads than 5 litres on a flat solid surface). As a basic guide, you can expect each Absorbent Mat to absorb approximately 1 litre of fluid.

Can a Hazchem Spill Kit Clean Up Fuel and Oil Spills?
Yes, Hazchem or Chemical Spill Absorbents can absorb fuel and oil (hydrocarbon-based) spills on LAND. Hazchem Absorbents aren’t suitable for fuel and oil spills on water though. This is because Hazchem Absorbents are hydrophilic (meaning they will also absorb water and water-based chemicals). Best Practice is to use a Fuel and Oil Spill Kit on fuel and oil spills.
