Small spills in laboratories, warehouses, or even residential settings are often treated as inconveniences and not much more. But just like large outdoor oil or chemical spills, small spills indoors can pose similar threats. If not contained and cleaned correctly, hazardous spills, in particular, can seep into an indoor space's various nooks and crannies, threatening those who come in contact with the liquid, even after it dries.
Use a spill containment tray, indoors or out, to contain small spills, especially when working with hazardous liquids or chemicals.These small spill containment solutions are readily available and affordable and can be used while actively working with liquids or simply storing them on a shelf. However, check the chemical compatibility of your containment system to ensure it can handle whatever liquids you're working with.
Spill Containment for Small Containers
Various sizes of secondary spill containment systems are available for small containers stored or used indoors. Which solution you choose will depend on the liquids you're storing and where you're storing them.
UltraTech's standard utility trays are typically made from polyethylene, which makes them resistant to a wide range of chemicals. They are designed for a variety of uses and can be used on the floor or on shelves to store a wide range of small containers. The utility trays feature a ribbed-bottom design in most models, which helps keep containers above small spills or leaks up to a certain point.
Utility trays are ideal for garages and can be used under vehicles and equipment to capture small leaks and spills during maintenance operations, such as oil changes and part swaps, as well as to store tools instead of leaving them on the ground.
Alamo Equipment Services has many Ultra Utility Tray sizes suitable for your garage or laboratory needs.
