• Maximum timeliness thanks to back transport: The nylon backpack configuration allows the operator to keep their hands free while moving, making it easier to climb stairs or navigate narrow passages to reach the chemical incident in a few seconds.
• Certified inactivation of corrosion risk: The neutralizing powder and pads tested by the Politecnico di Torino act by binding and breaking down concentrated sulfuric acid, transforming a dangerous caustic substance into an inert and safe-to-handle mass.
• Immediate containment and drain isolation: The 2 flexible yellow socks allow for the immediate creation of a barrier around the spill, blocking the liquid’s expansion and preventing toxins or acids from entering manholes or water networks.
• High-performance absorption in confined spaces: The 2 included absorbent cushions capture large volumes of concentrated liquid in narrow spots or directly under dripping fittings and valves, acting as a preventive measure during decanting operations.
• Prevention of operational errors and traceability: The instruction sheet provides clear guidance on response methods even under high-stress conditions, reducing staff hesitation and ensuring the correct application of environmental procedures.
• Immediate protection of worker health: The coordinated presence of gloves and a mask inside the backpack allows remediation operations to start in total safety, safeguarding the operator from skin contact or inhalation of acidic vapors.

This backpack spill kit finds its optimal application within chemical and biological laboratories, battery storage centers, forklift charging rooms, auto electric workshops, galvanic plants and chemical transit lanes. Thanks to its high-visibility orange color and the flexible 65x75 cm nylon bag, it is the perfect device to be hung on the walls of sampling departments, placed inside the cabins of company vehicles used for ADR transport or integrated into the mobile equipment of traveling industrial maintenance teams.

Model h1045_09 is the correct choice when the company safety plan requires a versatile, lightweight chemical emergency device completely focused on neutralizing unknown acids or caustic liquids. Compared to heavy rigid or wheeled containers, this nylon backpack bag solution offers unsurpassed logistical flexibility for facilities structured on multiple levels or with complex layouts, ensuring that remediation materials arrive on site before the contaminant spreads. Choosing this kit means investing in a system certified by the Politecnico di Torino that fully complies with Legislative Decree 152/06 and Ministerial Decree 20/2011, safeguarding the company from environmental crimes and protecting staff health during the most critical maneuvers.

In what sequential order should the various elements contained in the backpack be used in case of a chemical incident?

The guided procedure involves five rigorous actions to be performed in succession: first, it is mandatory to protect the person by evacuating the area and immediately wearing the protective gloves and mask included in the kit. Subsequently, an assessment of the situation is carried out by checking the nature of the fluid through the safety data sheets. The third phase is containment, where the 2 yellow socks are placed around the perimeter of the leak to block its expansion. This is followed by the actual remediation, applying the neutralizing granules on the acid and placing the 20 sheets and 2 cushions to absorb the liquids. Finally, the solidified and saturated product is removed and placed in the 2 collection bags for disposal.

What do the reports from the Politecnico di Torino in the technical documentation of the kit certify?

The reports issued by the Politecnico di Torino scientifically certify the performance and neutralization capabilities of the absorbent materials against sulfuric acid with a density of 1.27 Kg/dm³. Specifically, for the neutralizing powder, it is validated that 1.10 kg or 1.65 kg of product (depending on test parameters) are required to completely neutralize and absorb 1 liter of acid. For the yellow textile supports, it is certified that just 0.118 kg of fiber is enough to capture and definitively retain 1 liter of acidic solution, providing an essential guarantee of compliance for inspections by supervisory bodies.

Is it possible to use the yellow pads and granules from the backpack for spills of industrial oils or common coolants as well?

Yes, the equipment is classified to absorb aggressive, caustic and toxic chemical liquids, but the advanced nature of its fibers and granules makes it perfectly compatible and extremely effective even with most common industrial liquids, such as lubricating oils, fuels, solvents, aqueous solutions, coolants and antifreeze. This feature makes it the ideal device for use in all operational contexts where a leak occurs and there is no absolute certainty of the chemical composition of the spilled liquid.
