SHS-CH1715 – SpilMax® UniChem Absorbent Pillow (350mm x 380mm x 50mm)
Versatile High‑Capacity Pillow for Chemical & General Spills – Ideal for Drip Containment & Flowing Liquids
Overview
SpilMax® UniChem Absorbent Pillows are the most versatile pillow option, ideal for any general‑purpose or chemical spill kit. They absorb water, oils, fuels, diesel, coolant, general workplace chemicals, common agricultural chemicals, as well as hazardous chemical spills including strong oxidisers, acids, alkalis, and caustics. Made from durable polypropylene, each pillow can absorb up to 4 litres per saturation.
Commonly used to catch drips under leaking equipment or machinery, these pillows can also be stuffed into areas where liquids are flowing as a temporary measure until the flow can be stopped. They are a valuable addition to spill kits, maintenance areas, and industrial sites. Tested to ASTM F726‑06 for reliable performance.
Key Features & Benefits
High Absorbency
Each pillow absorbs up to 4 litres per saturation – ideal for catching drips and containing small flows.
Universal Absorbency
Absorbs water, oils, fuels, diesel, coolant, workplace chemicals, agricultural chemicals, strong oxidisers, acids, alkalis, and caustics – one pillow for multiple liquid types.
Versatile Use
Place under leaking equipment to capture drips, or stuff into flowing liquid paths as a temporary dam.
Durable Construction
Made from high‑quality polypropylene with a tough outer skin to resist tearing and maintain shape.
Hydrophilic Design
Absorbs water‑based and chemical liquids effectively – suitable for general and chemical spill response.
Tested to ASTM F726‑06
Performance verified using the standard test method for sorbent performance.
