Whether it’s a one gallon spill on a plant floor or a one million gallon spill in the ocean, Chemtex has a broad line of spill control products for you to choose from and we are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. When Chemtex started in 1998, most of our sales were in meltblown poly-propylene pads, rolls, and booms. Since then, our product lines have grown to carry just about anything you can think of when it comes to cleaning a spill.

Today, Chemtex inventories multiple truck loads of various different oil sorbents, universal sorbents, industrial absorbents and various sorbent accessories. Some of these items include sorbent pads, sorbent rolls, absorbent booms, absorbent socks, absorbent pillows, granulars, neutralizers, hydrocarbon polymers, and spill kits that are used for different sorbent applications. We also inventory a huge selection of secondary containment products such as spill pallets, overpacks, lab packs, drum funnels, etc. In addition to sorbents and secondary containment, we carry drain protectors, spill dams, and drain guards used in storm water management. We have a large selection of nonwoven wipes and knitted rags in various different sizes and packages. In our new catalog, we now offer personal protection such as protective suits, gloves, and boots.
