SpilMax® Absorbent Mini Booms are typically used to circle or bund leaking drums and machinery or placed between a spill and a stormwater drain. They are made of polypropylene and available in a variety of sizes with absorbencies ranging from 4L to 10L per saturation.
Oil & Fuel Absorbents are white. They are hydrophobic and repel water. This allows for the absorption of oil and fuel without absorbing water itself. Ideal for indoor or outdoor use cleaning up spills on or around water. Choose these absorbents where hydrocarbons are the main and likely contaminant such as hydraulic hoses, fuel stores and marinas.
UniChem Absorbents are yellow and work as both a Universal absorbent and Hazchem absorbent to absorb a wider range of liquids. These absorbents will pick up water, oils, fuels, diesel, coolant, general workplace chemicals and common agricultural chemicals, oxidisers, acids and caustics. Since these absorbents also pick up water, they are not recommended for oil on water spills.
The SpilMax® range of absorbents have undergone extensive testing to ensure their absorbency and performance using the ASTM Test Method F726-06 “Sorbent Performance of Absorbents” to test maximum oil capacity.
Oil & Fuel Absorbent Mini Booms are hydrophobic. This means they will repel water, therefore enabling the absorption of oil and fuel without absorbing water itself. Even when fully saturated, they will still float on water. This makes these polypropylene mini booms ideal for use around water and in wet conditions.

SpilMax® UniChem absorbents are the most versatile absorbent option. They are ideal in any general purpose or chemical spill kit. The UniChem absorbents will absorb water, oils, fuels, diesel, coolant, general workplace chemicals and common agricultural chemicals as well as hazardous chemical spills of oxidisers, acids, alkalis and caustics.

Absorbent Mini Booms are available in Oil & Fuel and UniChem absorbent types. Oil & Fuel mini booms absorb hydrocarbons, oils, and fuels while repelling water. UniChem mini booms absorb a wider range of liquids including water, fuels, diesel, coolant, workplace chemicals, acids, oxidisers, alkalis, and caustics.
Absorbent Mini Booms are typically placed around leaking drums, machinery, hydraulic equipment, and containers to contain drips and small spills. They are also commonly used to help stop spills entering stormwater drains.
Oil & Fuel and UniChem Absorbent Mini Booms are available in the following sizes:
Depending on the mini boom size, absorbency capacities range from 4L to 10L per saturation.
Oil & Fuel Mini Booms are hydrophobic, meaning they repel water while absorbing oils and fuels. Even when fully saturated, they continue to float, making them effective for marine spills, wet conditions, and outdoor containment work.
UniChem Mini Booms absorb both general liquids and hazardous chemicals, including acids, oxidisers, alkalis, and caustics. Oil & Fuel Mini Booms are designed specifically for hydrocarbon spills where water repellency and flotation are important.
The absorbents are tested using ASTM Test Method F726-06 for Sorbent Performance of Absorbents. This testing measures maximum oil absorbency capacity and helps verify product performance under industrial conditions.
