• Selective hydrophobic absorption: The oil-only line technology exclusively attracts hydrocarbons while repelling water, allowing effective use of the kit outdoors in the rain or on water surfaces without unnecessarily saturating the materials.
• Elimination of material waste: The 30 sheets feature transversal and longitudinal pre-cuts that allow the operator to detach only the amount strictly necessary for the size of the leak.
• Structural integrity under stress: The three layers of ultrasonically welded sheets increase the overall absorbent capacity and prevent the loss or fraying of textile fibers during liquid removal.
• Immediate pollution containment: The 4 absorbent socks allow for the creation of a perimeter barrier around the spill, blocking the liquid’s progress toward gully holes, manholes, or adjacent soil.
• Safe and compliant intervention: The integrated presence of gloves, mask, and disposal bags provides the operator with the necessary P.P.E. to act promptly according to M.S.D.S. sheets, reducing contact risks.

This emergency kit finds application in all industrial and logistics contexts subject to the requirements of D.Lgs. 152/2006 regarding environmental matters. It is essential within mechanical workshops, fuel depots, construction sites, and goods handling areas where the risk of oil, diesel, or lubricant leaks from machinery and piping is constant. Its special hydrophobic nature makes it the ideal operational tool for remediation on water surfaces, docks, ports, or near drainage channels, as well as for preventive setup under taps and fittings in transfer areas.

The h1045_01 model is the correct choice when the company must guarantee an immediate response to medium-sized spills while respecting the prerequisites of Iso 14000 and D.M. 20/2011 procedures. It represents the recommended investment for facilities requiring a mobile, organized, and easily transportable emergency solution thanks to the high-visibility orange nylon bag measuring 65x75 cm. It is preferable to generic absorbent systems because the combination of welded sheets, socks, and pillows allows for both preventive containment in narrow spaces and rapid collection of large quantities of polluting fluid without dispersing fibers into the environment.

What is the operational difference between a universal absorbent kit and this specific hydrocarbon kit?

Universal kits absorb any liquid indiscriminately, including water, making them ineffective in case of rain or spills on water surfaces as they would saturate before collecting the oil. The h1045_01 kit is instead specific for hydrocarbons and derivatives: it is hydrophobic, thus it repels water and only absorbs oily substances, optimizing absorbent capacity in outdoor environments.

Which specific environmental regulations does the composition of this emergency kit cover?

The composition and the included absorbent materials fully comply with D.Lgs. 152 of 03.04.06 (Environmental Consolidation Act) and subsequent amendments such as D.Lgs. 4 of 16.01.08. The kit provides the tools to comply with legal obligations related to the management of potentially polluting liquid substances, supporting companies in Iso 14000 guidelines and the controls provided for by D.M. 20/2011.

How are the pillows and loose oil-absorbent fiber included in the bag used?

The pillows are shaped for use in tight or hard-to-reach spaces, for example, placed directly under taps, machinery, or leaking pipes as a preventive barrier during transfers. The AFB005 loose fiber is sprinkled on the surface to complete the deep cleaning, soaking up the remaining residue to then be brushed and collected with shovels or brooms.
