Spill Absorbents
Loose spill absorbents are granules or powders you spread over a spill to soak it up, then sweep up for disposal. They are ideal for spills on uneven ground, in cracks and on hard-to-reach surfaces.
All Ecospill absorbents are designed and manufactured to meet Australian standards. Choose by the liquid and where you are working.
Which spill absorbent do I need?
- EcoSweep: an organic, bioactive absorbent for fuel, oil, solvents and other messy liquids. TRAX adds grit for traction on roads and hardstands.
- EcoSorb: a heavy-duty mineral absorbent for fuel, oil and chemical spills. Heavier, so it stays put in wind, and compliant with Australian WHS crystalline silica levels.
- ChemSorb: a very lightweight, inert absorbent for chemical spills, easy to lift and ideal indoors.
- Acid neutraliser: soda ash to neutralise acid spills, including battery acid, before clean-up.
Used by manufacturers, power stations, transport depots, construction and civil sites, and heavy equipment workshops. Prefer everything in one container? See our spill kits.
Common questions
+ Which absorbent is best for fuel and oil spills?
EcoSweep is our go-to for fuel and oil. Use EcoSweep TRAX on roads and hardstands, where grit adds traction and resists wind.
+ Which absorbent should I use for chemical spills?
ChemSorb is lightweight and ideal indoors. EcoSorb is heavier and better outdoors or in wind. Neither should be used on hydrofluoric acid.
+ Do I need acid neutraliser?
For acid spills such as battery acid, neutralise first to make the spill safer to handle, then absorb. Keep it near battery charging areas.
