Spill Control Products by Type
Every effective spill management program needs both reactive response products (to clean up spills) and proactive containment solutions (to prevent spills reaching drains or the environment).
- Spill Kits: Ready-to-deploy kits for immediate spill response. Accumax 40L Oil & Fuel Spill Kit, Accumax 40L General Purpose Spill Kit, Accumax 40L Hazchem Spill Kit, MAXSorb 120L and 240L Oil & Fuel Spill Kits, and SpillFix Wheelie Bin Spill Kit. Kits contain absorbent media, PPE, disposal bags, and instructions. Choose the right kit for your hazard class: hydrocarbon, chemical, or general purpose.
- Absorbent Granules & Loose Media: DrySorb Absorbent Granules (20kg), Garrick Natural Zeolite Absorbent, and SpillFix Universal Coir Organic Absorbent provide fast-absorbing loose media for large-area liquid spills on hard surfaces. Pour, sweep, and dispose. SpillFix organic options are biodegradable and safe for the environment.
- Absorbent Pads, Rolls & Booms: MAXSorb Oil & Fuel Pads for targeted surface absorption. Accumax Oil & Fuel Minibooms and Accumax General Purpose Absorbent Minibooms and SpillFix Universal Organic Absorbent Booms for drain protection and perimeter containment — preventing spilled fluid from reaching waterways and drains.
- Bunded Pallets & Spill Containment: The MAXBund Polyethylene 4-Drum Bunded Pallet (1290 x 1290 x 250mm) provides secondary containment for 4 x 200L drums — essential compliance for sites storing oils, chemicals, or fuels above threshold volumes. Alemlube polyethylene spill containers, modular workfloor spill containers, and rack-mounted poly spill containers complete the range.
- Spill Trays & Platforms: Alemlube Jonesco spill trays with platform, small container spill trays with platform, and base-only spill containers for under-drum containment of IBC, barrels, and dispensing equipment. Works seamlessly with our diesel fuel tank range for complete compliant storage setups.
Why Invest in Spill Control?
- Regulatory Compliance: Australian WHS legislation and environmental protection regulations require sites handling hazardous substances to have adequate spill response procedures and equipment in place. Non-compliance can result in significant fines and stop-work orders.
- Environmental Protection: Fuel and chemical spills reaching stormwater drains or waterways can result in environmental prosecution. Booms, bunded pallets, and absorbents intercept spills before they reach sensitive areas.
- Expert Support: Need help selecting the right spill kit capacity, containment products, or bunding for your site? Contact our team or request a quote and we’ll specify the right products for your hazard class, site size, and compliance requirements.
- Australian Business, Local Supply: As a proudly Australian business since 1988, we stock locally and work with trusted local Australian manufacturers and distributors to ensure fast, reliable supply.

People Also Ask — Spill Control and Containment
Q: What spill control equipment does AIMS stock?
Granular absorbents (general workshop oil and chemical), absorbent socks and pillows (containment of leaks at equipment), absorbent pads and rolls (large area cleanup), spill kits (pre-packed kits for specific spill types — oil only, chemical, universal, biohazard), drum bunds (passive containment), IBC bunds (large containment), portable bunds (temporary containment for equipment changes), and specialty spill control equipment. AIMS stocks AS-compliant spill control for workplace AS 1940 dangerous goods storage compliance.
Q: What's in a typical spill kit?
Standard 100L spill kit contents: 20 absorbent socks, 100 absorbent pads, 5 absorbent pillows, 10 disposal bags with ties, gloves, safety glasses, drum (for soiled absorbent), instructions card. Oil-only kits: white absorbent (doesn't pick up water). Chemical kits: yellow absorbent (chemical-resistant). Universal kits: grey absorbent (handles oil and chemicals). For workshop standard: 20L or 100L universal kit at strategic locations. For specific chemical storage: chemical-specific kit per chemical.
Q: How do I size spill control?
Containment per AS 1940: must hold 110% of the largest tank in the bund. Spill absorbent capacity: sized for the largest expected spill. Workshop standard: 50-100L of granular absorbent + multiple absorbent socks + emergency kit at each storage area. For high-risk areas (drum stores, chemical storage): kit capacity matches the largest container × 1.5. Calculate from worst-case spill scenarios.
Q: AS 1940 bunding — what's required?
Bund must contain 110% of largest tank, OR 25% of total stored volume (whichever is greater). Bund material: concrete, sealed steel, or polyethylene compatible with stored fluid. Bund drainage: must allow controlled rain removal (typically valve drain that's kept closed). Walls and floor: impermeable to stored fluid. For workshop sized bunds (drum cradle + bund combo), modular polyethylene products simplify compliance. For larger fixed installations, concrete bunding with engineering oversight.
Q: How do I dispose of contaminated absorbent?
Oil-contaminated absorbent: industrial waste, disposal through licensed waste contractor. Some areas accept oil-contaminated absorbent as 'oily waste' through commercial waste pickup. Chemical-contaminated absorbent: hazardous waste, disposal through licensed hazardous waste contractor at higher cost. Document the disposal for compliance. For workshop use, contract regular pickup of oily waste. For occasional large spills, one-off licensed pickup. EPA requirements vary by state — verify before disposal.
