Safety and following regulations are vital when storing chemicals. That’s why Site and Storage has a variety of containers to keep chemicals safe. Let’s look at some of the best ones that protect your workplace and the environment.
Secondary containers for chemicals are like backup containers. They catch any spills or leaks from the main container where chemicals are stored. This extra protection helps keep people and the environment safe from dangerous chemicals. It’s really important for any business that uses harmful materials.

Understanding Secondary Containment for Chemicals
Secondary containment for chemicals is a safety must-have. These systems are like a second shield, catching any leaks from the main containers. This extra protection makes chemical spills and pollution much less likely, which is crucial for businesses that use dangerous compounds.
Our Single Drum Spill Pallet Bund and 4 Drum Nestable Spill Pallet Bund are great examples of secondary containers for storing chemicals. These products are durable and protect against spills, following workplace safety regulations. The Single Drum one is good for smaller jobs or keeping one chemical separate, while the 4 Drum one is great for storing larger amounts of chemicals.
Key Features of Our Secondary Containers for Chemicals
When picking secondary containers for chemical storage, think about these things to get the best one for what you need:
One of the key things to consider is size. Our Single Drum Spill Pallet Bund can hold 230 litres, and the 4 Drum Nestable Spill Pallet Bund can hold up to 249 litres. Both are made from tough recyclable polyethylene that doesn’t get damaged by chemicals, so they last a long time. Since they’re made of high-density polyethylene, they’re good at resisting lots of different chemicals like acids and solvents. They’re also easy to load and move around with forklifts.
Chemical Spill Kits: Important Helpers for Secondary Containment
Along with secondary containers for chemicals, it’s really important to have a kit to clean up spills, fast and efficiently. Our chemical spill kits work great with our secondary containment systems. They help you clean up fast if there’s an accident. These kits are also a big part of keeping things safe when working with chemicals since they could be used efficiently as everything you need to clean up spills is all in the kit itself.
Our 1000 Ltr Chemical Spill Kit and 600 Ltr Maintenance Spill Kit are made to be used quickly when there’s a chemical spill. They come in bins with wheels so you can easily transport them around. To help with clean-up, absorbents are also organised to ensure that chemicals don’t spread further. The 1000 Ltr kit is good for big spaces, and the 600 Ltr kit is perfect for medium-sized spaces or as an extra kit in bigger areas.
IBC Containers: Mixing Main and Secondary Containment
For storing lots of chemicals, our Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) can be useful. They work as both the main container and the backup container in one. These are great for businesses that need to store and move lots of dangerous chemicals safely and easily.
Our Grade 2 Clear 1000L Reconditioned IBC is approved for dangerous liquids and fixed up to be safe and reliable. These containers are perfect for businesses that need to store and move lots of chemicals securely. Using these fixed-up IBCs is cheaper and better for the environment, without compromising quality and safety.
Extras to Make Chemical Safety Even Better
We also have extra things to make your chemical containers even safer and easier to use. These extras can make your chemical storage work better and help you do your job more easily.
Our IBC S60x6 (2 inch) Female to (1 inch) BSP Female Adapter is made from strong plastic that doesn’t get damaged by chemicals. This adapter helps you move chemicals between containers safely. It works with lots of different IBC containers and makes it less likely that you’ll spill chemicals when moving them.
Picking the Right Secondary Container for Your Chemicals
When choosing secondary containers for storing chemicals, think about these things:
- Will the container work with your chemicals?

Taking Care of Secondary Containers
To make your secondary containers for chemicals last longer and work better, you need to take care of them. Here are some important things to do:
- Check them often for cracks or leaks
- Clean them well after spills
- Keep them free of junk and extra liquid
- Replace them if they look worn out

Following Rules with Secondary Containment
In the UK, businesses that use chemicals have to follow a variety of rules, like COSHH and the Environmental Protection Act. Our secondary containers for chemical storage are made to help you follow these regulatory standards. While there are existing rules, it’s really important to know about new regulations and make sure that how you store chemicals follows the latest standards.
