SpillFix Organic Absorbents for Australian Workshops and Spill Response
SpillFix is a coir-based organic absorbent — a natural alternative to synthetic absorbent products for handling oil, fuel, and chemical spills in Australian workshops, fleet bays, manufacturing sites, and emergency response. Made from coconut husk fibre, SpillFix is biodegradable, dust-free, and rapidly absorbent — qualities that distinguish it from clay and synthetic absorbents in many workplace applications. AIMS Industrial supplies the SpillFix range for trade and industrial customers nationwide.
The SpillFix product range at AIMS
- SpillFix granular absorbent — loose absorbent for spreading on spills; the everyday format
- SpillFix socks and booms — pre-formed absorbent for containing and channelling spills
- SpillFix pads — sheet absorbent for surface cleanup and equipment underlays
- Spill response kits — pre-assembled kits for vehicles, workshops, and emergency stations
Why SpillFix versus synthetic and clay absorbents
- Biodegradable — coir-based material decomposes in landfill where synthetic absorbents persist
- Lighter weight — less material needed for the same absorption capacity
- Dust-free — unlike clay absorbents, SpillFix doesn't generate respirable dust during application
- High absorption — coir fibre absorbs many times its weight in oil and hydrocarbons
- Slip-free — doesn't create the slip hazard that loose granular clay can leave on hard floors
- Australian-distributed — supported through Australian supply channels for fast replenishment
Where SpillFix earns its place
- Workshop spill response — engine oil, hydraulic fluid, and fuel spill cleanup
- Fleet and transport — vehicle service bays, refuelling areas, breakdown response
- Manufacturing and processing — process fluid spills, leak containment
- Emergency response — vehicle accident scenes, marine spill response
- Mining and resources — workshop and field spill response
Disposal
Used SpillFix loaded with hydrocarbons or chemicals must be disposed of as the contaminant it has absorbed — used oil and fuel-soaked absorbent goes to a licensed waste oil contractor; chemical-soaked absorbent under the relevant chemical waste category. Don't dispose of contaminated absorbent in general waste regardless of the absorbent's biodegradability.

People Also Ask — SpillFix
Q: What is SpillFix made from?
SpillFix is a coir-based organic absorbent made from coconut husk fibre.
Q: Why choose SpillFix over a clay absorbent?
SpillFix is dust-free, unlike clay absorbents which generate respirable dust during application, and it doesn't leave the slip hazard that loose granular clay can create on hard floors.
Q: Is SpillFix biodegradable?
Yes — the coir-based material decomposes in landfill, where synthetic absorbents persist.
Q: How should used SpillFix be disposed of?
Used SpillFix must be disposed of as the contaminant it has absorbed — oil and fuel-soaked absorbent goes to a licensed waste oil contractor, and chemical-soaked absorbent under the relevant chemical waste category. It should never go in general waste, regardless of the absorbent's biodegradability.
Q: What formats does SpillFix come in?
SpillFix is available as granular loose absorbent, socks and booms for containing spills, pads for surface cleanup, and pre-assembled spill response kits.
Q: Why is SpillFix lighter than synthetic absorbents?
Less SpillFix material is needed for the same absorption capacity, since coir fibre absorbs many times its own weight in oil and hydrocarbons.
