Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What is a spill kit?
A: A spill kit is a prepared set of absorbent pads, rolls, and tools used to quickly contain and clean up liquid spills such as oil, chemicals, or fuels. Greenwipes® Oil Spill Clean Up are often included in spill kits because they are lightweight, highly absorbent, and capable of soaking up to 10 times their weight, making them ideal for emergency spill control.
Q: Do spill kits work on driveways?
A: Yes. Spill kits can be used on driveways, parking lots, and outdoor surfaces to absorb leaked oil, fuel, or chemicals. Greenwipes® GP-7000 are particularly effective outdoors because they are designed to float on water while still absorbing oil, ensuring spills are contained even in wet environments.
Q: What should you do if you spill acid?
A: For chemical spill, it will be better if you use a proper acid spill kit like GP-8000-100, which is designed to safely handle battery acid, chemical leaks, and hazardous spills.
Q: Does it work with industrial cleaning systems?
A: Absolutely. GP-7000-100 is compatible with industrial floor cleaning equipment and pressure cleaning chemicals.
Q: How much can one pad absorb?
A: Each pad can absorb 10x its weight with high retention that prevents seeping or dripping.
Q: Can the pads float after absorption?
A: Yes. Even when fully soaked with oil, GP-7000-100 pads float on water for easy cleanup.
Q: What types of spills does it cover?
A: Effective against cleaning chemicals, sanding oil, hazardous material clean-ups, and chemical cleaners in industrial and marine environments.
Q: Are these pads reusable?
A: No. They are single-use disposables to ensure maximum safety and contamination control.
