January 9, 2009, Newsletter Issue #149: Spill Dyke Materials and Shelf Life
1
Tip of the Week
Did you know that spill dykes have a shelf life? Many of these spill containment products made from urethane or polyurethane should only be kept for about five years before being replaced. This generally applies to spill dykes made of softer materials, but you should check the manual to see what the recommended expiration date might be. You should also check to for "compatibility" when it comes to the chemical makeup of your spill dykes versus the type of spill you need to contain. Some solvents, caustics, and other materials may cause a chemical reaction with the materials in your spill dyke. Some are not rated to handle certain types of spills. Acetone, for example, is only to be contained with certain types of spill dykes in emergencies only. Some manufacturers publish a chemical compatibility guide to help you determine the best use of your spill dykes. Be sure to ask the manufacturer how to access such a guide for the appropriate products.
