Spill control focus on preventing, containing, and cleaning up liquid leaks (such as chemicals, oils, and hazardous fluids), demands materials with chemical resistance, flexibility, and durability.
Cast Polyurethane products have been regarded as critical solutions in this field, considering their customizable properties to address challenges of leakage prevention, containment, and emergency response.
Advantages in Spill Control Industry
- Broad Chemical Resistance
Polyurethane resist corrosion from acids, alkalis, solvents, and petroleum products including over 300 types of industrial fluids. This stability prevents material degradation during contact with hazardous substances .
- Flexible Sealing Performance
With adjustable hardness (0A–98A), polyurethane products can form tight seals on irregular surfaces. Low-durometer (soft) formulations provide natural tackiness, enabling them to adhere to concrete, metal, or plastic surfaces without additional adhesives which is critical for preventing leak spread .
- Durability & Reusability
Its non-absorbent nature allows easy cleaning with water or mild detergents. Unlike disposable absorbents, PU products can be reused repeatedly, reducing waste .
- Water & Weather Resistance
It performs reliably in humid or outdoor environments, such as construction sites or chemical plant yards .
Key Application
- Polyurethane Flexible Spill Berms/Barriers/Dike
Polyurethane flexible barriers (typically 60mm×100mm×3m) are used for leak areas in workshops or job sites. Their bendable design follows curves and angles, forming temporary containment zones for oil or chemical spills. Polyurethane is oil and chemical resistance material that prevents permeation, while its weighted base (11kg per 3m length) and tight sealing properties to floor ensure stability and safty use .
- Urethane Drain Protectors & Seal Covers
A low-hardness (tacky) urethane creates a watertight seal over drains, preventing spilled fluids from entering water systems. They can be resued after washing. These reusable covers (available in any sizess) are widely used in chemical plants, refineries, and laboratories .
- PU Floor Bunding /PU Tuff Bund
PU Floor Bunding is a kind of spill containment barrier made of cast PU（polyurethane） for industrial use. Low-profile (50–100mm height), it is fixed on different floors and no problem for heavy-duty truck. It is used for equipment bases (drums, tanks) or storage zones in labs/factories, stopping spills from reaching drains or walkways.
- Urethane Safety Seals
Urethane safety seals are in high demand for spill control solutions across multiple industries, including oil and gas, hospitals, construction, and more.
