Spillage Absorption

Supelco® Chemizorb® Absorbents for spilled liquids

When working with glass bottles or open vessels such as beakers or test tubes, accidental chemical spillages can happen. Depending on the spilled substance, this can cause major health and safety risks. 

Dedicated absorbents e.g., Supelco® Chemizorb® Absorbents, are the quick, safe, and environmentally friendly way to remove hazardous, aggressive, or unpleasant spilled liquids. Our fast-acting Chemizorb® absorbents are made of porous mineral or synthetic copolymers that are chemically inert, and capable of absorbing up to 400% of their own weight in liquid.

Our broad product range includes “all-round” as well as “specialist” absorbents for different hazardous substances to meet your individual lab requirements.
