A vast majority of spill containment products are made from polyethylene. In many ways, polyethylene is the perfect material for spill containment applications. It's strong, moldable and has outstanding chemical resistance. The downside is, it also melts. A melting/melted spill pallet is an unstable spill pallet. An unstable spill pallet is an unsafe spill pallet. The last thing you need is fifty-five (55) gallon drums of hazardous material, or worse, FLAMMABLE hazardous material spilling and making a bad situation worse. Which is why a steel spill pallet can be the better option. The Ultra-Spill Pallet - Steel Model provides more than enough containment capacity to meet EPA and SPCC regulations and are not susceptible to fire or intense heat like plastic pallets.
