We have you covered for all of your SMALL SPILL CONTAIMENT needs!

When small spills happen in laboratories, warehouses, or even residential settings they are often treated as inconveniences and not much more. However, if not contained and cleaned properly, hazardous spills, in particular, can seep into the various nooks and crannies of an indoor space, threatening those who come in contact with the liquid, even after it dries.

To contain small spills, indoors or out, use a spill containment tray or spill containment pallet, especially when working with hazardous liquids or chemicals. BASCO has partnered with UltraTech to bring all types of big and small spill containment solutions that are readily available, affordable, and can be used while actively working with liquids or simply storing them on a shelf.

ProTip - Be sure to check the chemical compatibility of the containment system you choose, however, to ensure it can handle whatever liquids you’re working with.

Spill Containment for Small Containers

There are various types and sizes of secondary spill containment systems available for small containers being stored or used indoors. Which solution you choose will depend on what liquids you’re storing and where you’re storing them. There are different small spill containment options for floors, shelves, and tabletops, each with its own chemical compatibility.

Containment Trays

Keep messy drips and spills off warehouse and factory floors with UltraTech’s Ultra-Utility Trays®. Which are engineered with heavy-duty polyethylene and designed to contain liquids spilled or leaked from containers. Our ULTRA-UTILITY TRAY® with 18 GALLON CAPACITY can also be used under vehicles and equipment to capture small leaks and spills during maintenance operations such as oil changes, part swaps, and as a place to rest tools instead of on the ground.

ULTRA-SPILL TRAY®prevents splashes and spills from contaminating your work area. Convenient trays are made from 100% chemical-resistant polyethylene. The removable grate allows easy access to the sump and also has a handy built-in pour spout for the convenient recovery of spilled liquid.

Drum Pallets

While 55-gallon or 30-gallon drums aren’t really considered “small containers,” they are commonly used to dispense liquids into smaller containers. For that reason, we’ll include the drum pallets as a small spill containment solution.

The ULTRA-SPILL DECK® storage solution is comprised of all polyethylene construction and meets a wide range of chemical compatibility and spill response needs. This spill control deck collects small leaks and spilled liquids in the UV-resistant polyethylene sump. The modular units are easily connected with a bulkhead fitting (SKU #SP1073), which allows you to design and create a spill containment system that meets your specific needs. The Ultra Spill Deck® offers a low profile with a height of 5 3/4" to make handling of drums much easier and lowers drum tops so they are not dangerously close to eye level.

Drum pallets are perfect for capturing nuisance drips that can occur during the day-to-day dispensing of liquids into smaller containers. Drum pallets can also be used for storing or mixing five-gallon buckets of paint or similar liquids that tend to drip.

Spills vs. Leaks vs. Drips

We should note that unattended drips and small leaks can become just as dangerous as spills. Drips and leaks occur when connections aren’t secure or when things like hoses become damaged. Drips and leaks are often mishandled, as people tend to wrap the problem area with tape that is too loose or incompatible with the liquid that is leaking or dripping, or perhaps they’ll place paper towels under the leaky connection in an attempt to absorb the liquid. These are not adequate containment solutions or fixes and can actually pose more of a threat. For example, when some liquids are left to dry on towels, they become serious fire hazards—like kindling to a flame.

So, please read the instructions and fine print when working with any hazardous liquid or chemical, and use the proper spill containment and clean-up procedures.

By properly utilizing the products in our secondary containment section, you can remain compliant with the law, keep your warehouse and personnel safe, and nearly eliminate the chance of hazardous leaks and spills.
