Hazardous spill response teams, fire departments responding to a
hazardous spill incident, or manufacturing facilities using and storing large containers
of hazardous substances must be prepared to deal with large spills of potentially
dangerous chemicals. Each and every hazardous
spill response is unique and safety must never be compromised. Emergency situations involving hazardous materials
must be controlled quickly and efficiently. Ampho-Mag helps to
simplify the job of hazardous spill response. After
arriving at the scene, Ampho-Mag can be used immediately by applying it directly to the
spill or using it in diking operations. Ampho-Mag effectively neutralizes acids and bases bringing spilled material to a neutral pH resulting in:
For example, one of the most commonly spilled hazardous materials is
sulfuric acid. The primary reason for
accidental injuries is mistaking the sulfuric acid for water. The procedure to identify an unknown liquid and
treat it with the appropriate response material can be complicated and lengthy. Applying
Ampho-Mag is an immediate and safe response, avoiding the dangers a false
identification. In the case of sulfuric acid,
a color change indicates red for an acid and the sulfuric is safely rendered to harmless
Epsom Salt. Our 50 pound Ampho-Mag totes or paper bags used alone or in conjunction with our 3 pound
shaker bottles (available in cases of 6) are most suited for containment, adsorption and
clean up of any large hazardous spill.
