Formalin — dilute aqueous formaldehyde — starts off-gassing the moment it hits the bench or the floor, and the vapour is the real hazard rather than the liquid. This kit deals with both. The formalin neutralising powder converts the spill into a passive, non-toxic substance. The super absorbent polymer cools the solution, cuts the airborne formaldehyde concentration and locks the liquid into a semi-solid mass you can scoop straight into the waste bag. Start to finish, the conversion takes under five minutes. What's in the kit Formalin neutralising powder Super absorbent polymer Dirteeze MAX60 absorbent sheets Goggles P2 respirator Protective disposable apron Disposable nitrile gloves Labelled 10 litre pail with flip lid Scoop and scraper Clinical waste bags Overshoes and hairnet "Caution Spill" sign Instruction sheet Where it's used Histology and pathology laboratories, hospital specimen handling and theatre, mortuaries and funeral homes, veterinary clinics and animal hospitals, and university and research labs holding buffered formalin for tissue fixation. Anywhere a 10% formalin container is decanted or carried is a place where a kit needs to be within reach of the bench, not locked in a store room. Before you order Absorbing capacity is 7 litres, which covers a dropped specimen container or a decanting spill rather than a bulk drum release. The kit is built for dilute aqueous formaldehyde solutions — for concentrated formaldehyde or a large volume, talk to us before you buy. The absorbents, PPE and waste bags are single-use consumables, so once the kit is deployed it needs replacing. The P2 respirator handles particulates and nuisance vapour; if your risk assessment calls for organic vapour protection we can supply the kit with an upgraded respirator on request. The 10 litre pail is the kit's own storage container, so it can sit on a shelf or under a bench and be carried to the spill. Other spill kits in this range Most labs hold more than one hazard. We stock the matching Spill Station kits for acid, alkali and OPA and glutaraldehyde spills, plus the multi-purpose body fluid kit and the compact biohazard pouch for trolleys and vehicles. The full range is in lab and medical spill kits, and a wall-mounted spill control station sign marks where the kit lives so staff can find it under pressure. Held in stock at our Wetherill Park warehouse in Western Sydney. Order before 1pm on a business day for same-day dispatch, or choose Click & Collect at checkout.
