Product Overview
The SM60 20 Litre Oil Only Kit is an essential resource for any professional environment where the management of hydrocarbons is a daily reality. Designed specifically for the rapid containment and absorption of oil-based spills, this kit is highly effective because it repels water while soaking up oil. This hydrophobic property ensures that your response is focused entirely on the contaminant, making it particularly useful for outdoor leaks or areas where water is present. The entire kit is housed in a compact, portable spill bag that allows for immediate deployment to the site of an incident.
Key Features
- High-Strength Absorbents: The kit includes extra-strong oil pads and socks that are designed to withstand heavy use without tearing, ensuring reliable performance during cleanup.
- Selective Absorption: Engineered to absorb oil and repel water, these materials ensure that no capacity is wasted on non-hazardous liquids, especially in wet conditions.
- Portability: The compact bag design makes it easy to store in vehicle cabs, workshops, or near machinery, ensuring help is always close at hand.
- 20-Litre Capacity: Sized for small to medium spills, this kit provides a manageable yet substantial response capability for common workplace leaks.
Design & Performance
The performance of this kit is rooted in the quality of its components. The extra-strong socks are flexible and durable, allowing them to be shaped around a spill to act as a dam, preventing the oil from spreading to drains or sensitive areas. The pads are designed for high-speed absorption, lifting oil off surfaces quickly and efficiently.
Because the materials are hydrophobic, they will float on water even when fully saturated with oil. This makes the SM60 kit an excellent choice for marine environments or for use during inclement weather, where standard universal absorbents would simply soak up rainwater and become ineffective. The portable bag is robust enough to protect the contents while remaining light enough for a single person to carry to the spill site without delay.
Why No Customisation?
This 20 Litre Oil Only Kit is a piece of dedicated emergency safety equipment. We do not offer customisation on this product to ensure that it remains instantly recognisable for its intended purpose. In the event of a spill, it is vital that the kit is easily identified by any member of staff; branding or non-standard markings could lead to confusion or obscure important safety instructions printed on the packaging.
Use Cases
This kit is ideally suited for transport companies, garages, and manufacturing facilities where oils and fuels are stored or used. It is a sensible addition to any vehicle carrying hydraulic equipment or as part of a site-wide environmental protection plan. Its water-repellent nature also makes it the preferred choice for maintenance near rivers, lakes, or drainage systems.

Practical Advice
To maximise the effectiveness of your spill response, we suggest placing these kits in clearly marked, accessible locations near potential leak sources. When a spill occurs, use the socks first to encircle the perimeter of the leak. Once the spill is contained, use the pads to absorb the liquid within the bunded area. Always ensure you have a dedicated hazardous waste container available for the safe disposal of used absorbents.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the absorbent materials, this kit should be stored in a dry, covered area. While the materials themselves repel water, prolonged exposure to moisture within the storage bag can lead to a degradation of the packaging over time.
Regularly check the contents of the bag to ensure all components are present and that the bag has not been tampered with. If any part of the kit is used, it should be replaced immediately to ensure you maintain your full 20-litre response capacity for the next emergency.
