Spill direct Chemical Neutralisation

Personal Health and Safety is always the first priority in spill control. Hazardous material spills are a daily industrial reality and there for chemical neutralisation is of paramount importance in keeping a safe & risk free environment.

Integrating neutralizing products into your response program improves the safety, while minimizing the cost of dealing with hazmat spills. Customized response kits can make the task easy.

Traditionally Chemical Spills are:

• Handled and absorbed onto absorbent chemical pads and socks leaving the operator exposed to the chemical spill
• For large chemical spills, soda ash is spread liberally over the spillage and mopped up with plenty of running water

Neutralisation of the Chemical using Vytac before clean up:

• Safe - Eliminates risk to operators
• Foolproof - A colour indication system operates to show when neutralisation is complete
• Reduces hazardous waste. After neutralisation residues are no longer hazardous waste and can be disposed of through the general waste system, thus reducing cost

In North America neutralisation of chemicals is now standard practice before clean up of spilled chemicals. The California Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Toxic Substances, has certified Vytac after an in-depth and independent review to facilitate regulatory and end-user acceptance.

Vytac Offers Safe Chemical Response for:

• Alkalis - Vytac CS
• Acids - Vytac ACX
• Bleach - Vytac JCN
• Formaldehyde - Vytac FAS
• Formaldehyde two component system in hospitals and medical laboratories – Vytac FNC 2C

Neutralising Spill Kits:

• Mercury Spill Kit
• Battery Acid Spill Kit

Once neutralised the residue is safe and can be swept up. The most practical way of removing the chemical residue from a bund or containment area is by using an industrial vacuum cleaner of one of the following specifications:

• Wet and Dry. Structofoam. 230v 1200w. Airflow 40 litres/sec
• Wet and Dry. Structofoam. 230v 2400w. Airflow 80 litre/sec
