Whether you want to contain large spills or use a variety of chemicals and store them on site, you may want to consider floor bunding as an alternative to spill kits (or use them together). Most industries have rules in place that require you to have appropriate containment of large masses of chemicals and hazardous materials. They also require that you keep them isolated from other products. With a bund, you can drive over it and walk on it without compromising its purpose.
When focused on purchasing floor bunding for your facility, it’s best to choose UV stable urethane products. It should be listed as heavy duty, which means it was designed to deal with a lot of traffic. Unless you can keep it away from everything else, ensuring that no one walks by it, this type of bund is most appropriate. Even if someone kicks it or drives over it, the material won’t shift. If something spills at the same time as you’re driving over it, the liquid can’t spill over the bund. Along with such, you should consider whether you need flexible or rigid options. Either way, it should never crack, split, or chip.
At EcoSpill, they offer DuraBund products because it can be both flexible and rigid, depending on your needs. It also includes pre-formed anchors, and you can also find corner pieces at right angles. Therefore, it doesn’t matter what configuration or size you require. They also sell installation kits, and your maintenance team can install them easily. However, they can advise you on how to install it if you require help. They’re designed to work alongside spill kits, and you can find both here. Floor bunding is the first defence against spillage, allowing you to clean up the mess without the risk of it spreading.
