Products covered by this guide include SpillTech SonicBonded pads and rolls, SpillTech FineFiber pads and rolls, SpillTech MultiLaminate pads and rolls, SpillTech AirLaid pads and rolls, SpillTech Survivor™ pads and rolls.
This Chemical Compatibility Guide is offered for informational purposes only and was developed from information sources other than SpillTech. The information from such third party sources is believed to be reliable and accurate, however, purchaser should make his/her own determination of compatibility before using any SpillTech product. Although this guide may indicate that SpillTech universal and HazMat products are compatible with and absorb many acids and bases, specific absorption rates may vary. SpillTech Survivor™ mat absorbents are not recommended for use with solvents or corrosive liquids that may affect the printed pattern. Purchaser should test the absorbent prior to use in applications where solvents or corrosive liquids may be present. Testing shows no adverse chemical effects when SpillTech oil-only pads and rolls are brought in contact with the following chemicals, however, the oil-only properties of the pads may inhibit absorption.
It is the sole responsibility of the purchaser to determine whether any product is suitable for purchaser's actual or intended uses.
NO GUARANTY, WARRANTY, OR REPRESENTATION IS MADE, INTENDED, OR IMPLIED AS TO THE CORRECTNESS OR SUFFICIENCY OF THE CHEMICAL COMPATIBILITY GUIDE OR ANY INFORMATION SUPPLIED HEREIN. THE PRODUCTS DISCUSSED HEREIN ARE SOLD WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY AS TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ANY OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. NO WAIVER, ALTERATION, ADDITION OR MODIFICATION OF THE FOREGOING CONDITIONS SHALL BE VALID UNLESS MADE IN WRITING AND MANUALLY SIGNED BY AN OFFICER OF SPILLTECH. IT IS THE PURCHASER'S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY TO CONDUCT TESTING TO ESTABLISH THE SUITABILITY OF ANY PRODUCT FOR PURCHASER'S INTENDED USE. LIABILITY OF SPILLTECH FOR ALL CLAIMS, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF A BREACH OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, IS LIMITED TO THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE MATERIAL SUPPLIED.
