Granular Absorbents

TIDDOX supplies a range of high performance granular absorbents designed to quickly and effectively clean up liquid spills across industrial, commercial and maintenance environments. These loose particulate absorbents provide a simple and reliable solution for managing spills on hard surfaces, particularly where liquids spread across uneven ground, cracks or textured flooring.

Granular absorbents are widely used to manage spills involving oil, fuel, chemicals, coolants and water based liquids. They are easy to apply, fast acting and highly effective at absorbing and encapsulating liquids, leaving surfaces clean, dry and safe.

Designed for real workplace conditions, TIDDOX granular absorbents deliver strong absorption performance, ease of use and practical spill control across a wide range of applications.

What Are Granular Absorbents

Granular absorbents are loose materials that are spread directly over a spill to absorb and contain liquid. Unlike pads or rolls, granules can flow into cracks, joints and uneven surfaces, making them ideal for hard surface environments such as concrete floors, roadways and outdoor areas.

They are commonly used to both absorb spills and create containment barriers, helping prevent liquids from spreading into drains or surrounding areas.

Granular absorbents are available in different material types including organic cellulose, mineral based and inert particulate absorbents, each designed for specific applications and liquid types.

Designed for Practical Spill Response

Granular absorbents are used across industries where fast, simple and effective spill response is required. They are particularly effective for:

• Spills on rough or uneven surfaces
• Outdoor spill response and roadways
• Large surface area spills
• Situations where liquids need to be contained quickly
• Applications requiring a dry, non slip finish

Their ability to rapidly absorb and solidify liquids makes them an essential part of spill control procedures in workshops, warehouses, transport depots, construction sites and industrial facilities.

TIDDOX Granular Absorbent Range

TIDDOX supplies three specialised granular absorbent solutions, each designed for specific spill types and environments.

Floorsweep Absorbent: Floorsweep is a high performance organic cellulose absorbent designed for everyday industrial spills. It rapidly absorbs and encapsulates liquids including oil, fuel, solvents, cooking oils and general fluids.
This product contains biologically active components that help break down hydrocarbons, making it an environmentally responsible option. It is lightweight, easy to apply and safe to use on all surfaces. Floorsweep is ideal for workshops, manufacturing, mining, councils and emergency services where fast, effective spill clean up is required.

Hazsorb Absorbent: Hazsorb is a vermiculite based absorbent designed for hazardous chemical spills. It is an inert material, making it suitable for use with acids, caustics, solvents and aggressive chemicals. Lightweight and highly absorbent, Hazsorb provides a safer alternative to traditional clay based absorbents and is commonly used in laboratories, chemical storage areas, hospitality kitchens and industrial facilities.
Its chemical compatibility and non reactive nature make it a reliable choice for managing higher risk spill scenarios.

All Purpose Absorbent: All Purpose Absorbent is a fast acting mineral based granular absorbent designed for a wide range of liquid spills. It is capable of absorbing oil, fuel, chemicals and water based liquids while remaining non toxic and non hazardous.
This product absorbs quickly on contact, does not leach liquids back out and helps control vapours and odours during clean up. Its non abrasive composition makes it safe for use around machinery and equipment.

All Purpose Absorbent is widely used across workshops, roadworks, mining, food production, hospitality and general industrial applications.

Key Features and Benefits

TIDDOX granular absorbents are designed to deliver reliable spill control across a wide range of environments.

• Fast acting absorption for immediate spill response
• Suitable for oil, fuel, chemicals and water based liquids
• Effective on hard, uneven and outdoor surfaces
• Helps create a dry, non slip working area
• Easy to apply, sweep and dispose
• Available in specialised formats for different spill types

Many products are lightweight, environmentally responsible and designed to reduce overall usage compared to traditional absorbents.

How to Use Granular Absorbents

Granular absorbents are simple and effective to use. Apply the absorbent around the perimeter of the spill to contain it, then spread across the liquid surface. Allow time for absorption, agitate if required, and sweep up the material once the surface is dry. Dispose of used absorbent in accordance with local regulations. This straightforward process makes granular absorbents one of the most practical spill control solutions available.

Where Granular Absorbents Are Used

Granular absorbents are widely used across industries where spills occur on hard surfaces. Common applications include workshops, warehouses, transport depots, construction sites, roadworks, mining operations, manufacturing facilities and emergency response situations.
They are particularly effective in outdoor environments and areas where other absorbent formats are less practical.
