Ultra-Spill Berms

Yes, the Ultra-Spill Berm can be cut to size with a utility knife or other sharp blade.  As always, be sure to wear the appropriate PPE and use caution when cutting.

Yes, by using the optional connector (Product CHU2101), multiple berms can be joined together to form larger/wider containment areas.

Yes, the Ultra-Spill Berm Plus is 114mm tall and designed for use when larger spills may occur.

‘NR’ stands for ‘Not Recommended’.  HOWEVER, it is worth noting that most chemical compatibility guides (ours included) are based on a one-year immersion test.  In other words, the material being tested is completely immersed in the chemical in question.  After one year, the material is removed and checked for any degradation.  Needless to say, a spill response product is not going to be exposed to a chemical for a year.  So it’s possible that the Ultra-Spill Berm will be effective against a spill of a chemical that is listed as ‘NR’. The best way to know for sure is to test for yourself. 

Yes, cyanoacrylates can be used to bond the Ultra-Spill Berm to a surface.  Cyanoacrylates are a family of strong fast-acting adhesives commonly sold under names such as “Super Glue” and “Krazy Glue”.

The Ultra-Spill Berm is made with urethane and will degrade/break down in extended UV exposure.  It is recommended that spill berms only be exposed for as long as required to contain and clean up a spill.  Long-term outdoor use is not recommended.

Typically, a standard soap and water mixture is all that is needed to clean a spill berm.  Once the Ultra-Spill Berm has been cleaned it should be allowed to air dry and then returned to its original packaging.

Yes, the Ultra-Spill Berm is reusable provided that it has not been exposed to a chemical that has caused any degradation.

The Ultra-Spill Berm should be stored in a cool, dry area in the carrying case that it is shipped in.  An optional hard-plastic carrying case is available (Product CHU2104) if sturdier packaging is desired.  It is important that the Ultra-Spill Berm does not touch itself because, over time, the touching areas will fuse together.  This can be prevented by using the cardboard separators in the case the unit is shipped in or by wrapping the entire spill berm with plastic sheeting.

It is not recommended that the Ultra-Spill Berm be driven over.  The softer nature of the material can be damaged under vehicle tires and other equipment.
