Accumax Spill Kits, Absorbent Pads & Spill Containment
Accumax is an Australian spill response and containment brand whose products help industrial operations prevent, contain, and clean up spills of oil, fuel, chemicals, and hazardous liquids.
Environmental regulations in Australia impose strict obligations on businesses that store and handle hazardous substances — a spill that reaches a stormwater drain, waterway, or soil can trigger significant fines, remediation costs, and reputational damage.
Accumax products are designed to meet these obligations at every stage: bunded pallets and containment systems prevent spills from escaping storage areas, spill kits provide the absorbents and PPE needed for rapid first response, and absorbent pads and booms handle ongoing drip and leak management in workshops and plant areas.
The Accumax range available through AIMS Industrial spans three spill-type categories — oil and fuel, hazchem (hazardous chemical), and general purpose — each formulated with different absorbent chemistry to match the liquid being contained.
Oil and fuel absorbents are hydrophobic, repelling water while absorbing petroleum-based liquids, making them effective on wet surfaces and around stormwater drains.
Hazchem absorbents are chemically resistant and designed for aggressive acids, bases, and solvents.
General purpose absorbents handle any liquid type.
Within each category, Accumax offers complete spill kits in 40 L, 120 L, and 240 L sizes, individual absorbent pads, minibooms for perimeter containment, and bunded pallets for drum and IBC storage.
AIMS Industrial can supply the full Accumax spill response range including MAXSorb absorbent products and MAXBund containment systems, with Australia-wide delivery for both planned procurement and emergency restocking after a spill event.
For safety managers and environmental compliance officers, having the right spill kits accessible at every storage area, loading dock, and maintenance bay is not optional — it is a regulatory requirement under Australian dangerous goods storage and handling regulations.
From mining operations managing bulk fuel storage and hydraulic fluid reservoirs to manufacturing plants handling chemical raw materials and transport companies carrying dangerous goods, Accumax spill response products are a workplace essential.
The colour-coded kit system — yellow for oil and fuel, red for hazchem, grey for general purpose — enables rapid identification during a spill emergency when response speed matters most.
For procurement teams restocking spill kits after use or conducting annual compliance audits, AIMS Industrial provides individual replacement absorbent refills alongside complete kits, allowing you to replenish used items without replacing the entire kit and its container.
Accumax Spill Kits — Oil & Fuel, Hazchem & General Purpose
Spill kits are the frontline response tool for containing and absorbing liquid spills before they spread to drains, soil, or waterways. Australian workplace health and safety regulations require spill kits to be located within accessible reach of any area where hazardous liquids are stored, transferred, or used — and the kit must contain absorbents matched to the liquid type present. Accumax spill kits are supplied in high-visibility wheelie bins (120 L and 240 L) or carry bags (40 L) and contain a pre-packed assortment of absorbent pads, absorbent pillows, disposal bags, PPE, and instructions. The three colour-coded categories ensure that responders grab the correct kit for the spill type without having to read labels during an emergency.
- Accumax 40L Oil & Fuel Spill Kit: Compact 40-litre oil and fuel spill kit supplied in a portable carry bag for rapid deployment at small spill locations. Contains hydrophobic absorbent pads, absorbent socks, disposal bags, and PPE. The 40 L capacity suits workshop areas, loading docks, generator sets, and vehicle maintenance bays where spill volumes are typically small but response speed is critical. The carry bag format makes this kit easy to position near fuel dispensing points and hydraulic equipment.
- Accumax 40L Hazchem Spill Kit: Hazardous chemical spill kit in a 40-litre carry bag containing chemically resistant absorbent pads, disposal bags, nitrile gloves, and chemical splash goggles. Designed for environments handling acids, bases, solvents, and other aggressive chemicals where standard oil and fuel absorbents would degrade or fail to contain the spill. The compact format allows placement directly adjacent to chemical storage cabinets, dispensing stations, and laboratory areas where hazchem spills are most likely to occur.
- Accumax 40L General Purpose Spill Kit: General purpose spill kit in a 40-litre carry bag containing absorbents that handle any liquid type — water-based, oil-based, or chemical. The grey colour coding identifies this as the universal option for environments where multiple liquid types are present and a single-category kit would not cover all spill scenarios. Suited to mixed-use workshops, maintenance bays, and general industrial areas where both petroleum products and water-based fluids are in use.
- MAXSorb 120L Oil & Fuel Spill Kit: Mid-size 120-litre oil and fuel spill kit supplied in a high-visibility yellow wheelie bin for easy transport to the spill location. Contains a comprehensive assortment of hydrophobic absorbent pads, absorbent pillows, absorbent socks for perimeter containment, disposal bags, and PPE. The 120 L capacity is designed for moderate spill volumes typical of bulk fuel storage areas, workshop hydraulic systems, and transformer oil containment. The wheelie bin doubles as the disposal container after the spill is absorbed.
- MAXSorb 240L Oil & Fuel Spill Kit: Large-capacity 240-litre oil and fuel spill kit in a high-visibility yellow wheelie bin, providing the absorbent volume needed for major fuel and oil spills at bulk storage facilities, large workshops, and mining operations. The 240 L kit contains enough absorbent material to handle a significant release from a ruptured hose, overturned drum, or tank overflow. Positioned at high-risk locations like fuel farms, oil storage compounds, and heavy vehicle workshops where spill volumes can be substantial.
- MAXSorb 120L General Purpose Spill Kit: Mid-size general purpose spill kit in a 120-litre wheelie bin containing universal absorbents suitable for all liquid types. The general purpose formulation absorbs water-based coolants, petroleum oils, mild chemicals, and food-grade liquids — making this kit the default choice for environments with varied fluid types. Suited to food processing plants, printing facilities, paint shops, and mixed-use industrial areas where the spill risk involves multiple liquid categories.
- MAXSorb 240L General Purpose Spill Kit: Large 240-litre general purpose spill kit for facilities where a single high-capacity universal kit is preferred over multiple smaller category-specific kits. The all-liquid absorbent formulation handles petroleum, water-based, and mild chemical spills, simplifying spill response training and kit selection for operators. Positioned at central locations in large manufacturing plants, warehouses, and distribution centres where spill type may not be immediately identifiable during an emergency.
Accumax Absorbent Pads, Minibooms & Bunded Containment
Beyond complete spill kits, Accumax supplies the individual absorbent products and containment hardware that form the backbone of an ongoing spill prevention and drip management program. Absorbent pads are used daily in workshops and maintenance bays to catch drips from hydraulic fittings, gearbox seals, and fuel connections — preventing small leaks from accumulating into slip hazards or environmental contamination. Minibooms provide perimeter containment around equipment or floor drains to prevent spilled liquid from spreading. Bunded pallets and IBC containment systems capture the full contents of a drum or tank in the event of a catastrophic failure, providing the secondary containment required by Australian dangerous goods storage regulations.
- MAXSorb Oil & Fuel Pads: Hydrophobic absorbent pads that absorb petroleum-based oils and fuels while repelling water. Used individually under leaking equipment, layered in drip trays, or positioned under fuel connections to catch drips before they reach the floor. The hydrophobic formulation means these pads remain effective on wet surfaces and will not become saturated by rainwater in semi-exposed areas, continuing to absorb oil even in standing water. Available in standard pad sizes for easy placement and disposal.
- Accumax Oil & Fuel Minibooms: Flexible absorbent booms designed to encircle spills, surround leaking equipment, or block stormwater drains to prevent oil and fuel from leaving the containment area. The boom format conforms to floor contours and can be shaped around irregular surfaces, providing a physical and absorbent barrier that both contains and absorbs the spilled liquid. Used as a perimeter defence around machinery, fuel dispensing points, and floor drains in workshops and loading areas.
- Accumax General Purpose Absorbent Minibooms: Universal absorbent minibooms that contain and absorb any liquid type — oil, water-based, or mild chemical. The general purpose formulation suits environments where the spill liquid may vary or where multiple fluid types are present. Used around floor drains, equipment bases, and storage areas to contain drips and small spills before they reach drainage infrastructure or traffic areas. Flexible construction allows the boom to be shaped around corners and curved surfaces.
- MAXBund Polyethylene 4 Drum Bunded Pallet 1290 x 1290 x 250mm: Four-drum polyethylene bunded pallet providing secondary containment for 205-litre drums stored in accordance with Australian dangerous goods regulations. The integrated sump captures the full contents of any single drum in the event of a leak or rupture, preventing the liquid from reaching the floor or drainage system. The chemical-resistant polyethylene construction handles oils, fuels, solvents, and mild chemicals without degradation.
- Accumax Double IBC Bunded Pallet — 1000L Bund: Large-capacity bunded pallet designed to contain two 1,000-litre intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) with a total bund capacity of 1,000 litres. IBC storage requires substantial secondary containment capacity, and this pallet provides the required volume in a single integrated unit. The pallet accepts standard IBC footprints and includes forklift pockets for easy positioning. Essential for sites storing bulk chemicals, oils, or hazardous liquids in IBC format.
- Accumax PVC Cover & Galvanised Frame for 1 x 1000L Bund: Weatherproof PVC cover with galvanised steel frame designed to fit over a single-IBC bunded pallet, preventing rainwater from accumulating in the bund sump. Outdoor bunded storage collects rainwater that must then be tested and disposed of as potentially contaminated waste — the cover eliminates this issue by keeping the bund dry until a spill actually occurs. A practical and cost-saving addition for any outdoor IBC storage installation.
