Frequently Asked Questions

What is the use of spill containment trays?

Basco spill containment trays collect drips and spills from leaking containers to prevent damage. They provide a slip-proof platform that allows for storing various containers, drums or tanks.

What is the function of IBC ball valves?

IBC ball valves utilise a metal ball with a hole bored through the centre and sandwiched between two seats to control the flow of liquid in a system. They come with EPDM gaskets having excellent resistance to extreme temperatures and alkalis / acids. They also feature an operational handle which when turned manually, opens or closes the ball port, allowing or stopping the fluid flow.

How do poly-backed pads work?

Poly-backed pads are absorbent pads or sheets with a polyethylene backing. The polyethylene backing is a waterproof layer that prevents liquids from penetrating through the pad and onto the surface below. When the pad is used, the absorbent material (such as fluff pulp or superabsorbent polymers) absorbs liquids and holds them within the pad. The polyethylene backing ensures that the absorbed liquids do not leak out of the bottom of the pad and onto the surface.
