Overview

When a chemical spill happens, you need absorbents you can count on. SERPRO Hazmat absorbent socks are designed specifically for hazardous liquids, giving you fast, reliable containment and absorption in aggressive spill environments. Their industry-standard bright yellow colour clearly indicates hazardous material is present, helping keep people and plant safe.

These socks perform exceptionally well with acid and base type spills, remaining effective without breaking down when used with harsh chemicals including hydrofluoric, sulfuric, nitric, phosphoric and hydrochloric acids.

Key features

• Purpose-built for chemical and hazardous liquid spills (Hazmat)
• High resistance to acids and bases for demanding applications
• Bright yellow outer for instant hazard identification
• Flexible 1.2 m length forms effective dykes around spills, machinery and drains
• Helps contain and prevent spread to reduce clean-up time and cost
• Polywrapped for clean, protected storage until needed
• Consistent performance across aggressive fluids without product degradation

Benefits

• Rapid spill control: create instant barriers to stop migration and protect drains.
• Safety first: clear colour-coding helps teams recognise hazmat situations at a glance.
• Operational continuity: contain quickly to minimise downtime and disruption.
• Versatile response: effective across laboratories, chemical plants, manufacturing and maintenance areas.

Ideal uses

• Hazmat spill clean-up and chemical spill containment
• Perimeter control around tanks, IBCs, drums and process equipment
• Blocking doorways and protecting drains during a spill response
• Routine readiness in chemical manufacturing and plant maintenance

How to use

1. Identify the spill and don appropriate PPE for the chemical involved.
2. Place socks to encircle the spill or to create a barrier protecting drains or walkways.
3. Overlap sock ends to ensure a continuous seal; gently press to improve contact with the floor.
4. Add compatible hazmat absorbent pads or pillows inside the perimeter to absorb pooled liquid.
5. Dispose of used absorbents as hazardous waste in accordance with local regulations.
