Product Overview
The Professional NiCad Battery Spill Kit is specially designed for the clean-up, containment, and neutralization of NiCad batteries. Certain chemicals can be highly hazardous and require neutralizing to render them non-hazardous before any cleaning efforts. Standard battery acid spill kits are ineffective against the alkaline nature of NiCad batteries.
Key Features:
- Contains 5 x 0.9kg cartons of Alkali Neutraliser
- Each spill kit will safely neutralize 8 Litres of a 22% - 30% solution of potassium hydroxide
Benefits
-
Neutralize hazardous materials before clean-up
-
Easy to use safely - A color change indicates effective neutralization
-
Return work area to a functional condition quickly - Decontaminate and clean up in one step
-
