3 Layer Protection
SpillPro's track matting consists of 3 layers: a strong protective top layer made of Polyethylene, a hydrophobic cotton / polypropylene mix, and a chemically resistant base.
UV stabilised
The top layer is UV stabilised for 3-years to give protection from the harsh Australian weather conditions.
Super absorbent
The active component of SpillPro track matting is the hydrophobic cotton / polypropylene material which can absorb 20 times its weight in diesel but rejects water.
Chemical resistant base
A polyethylene base is resistant to hydrocarbon attack, which prevents spills from migrating through the track matting and into the ground water.

How SpillPro track matting works
SpillPro track matting is laid between the railway tracks under a potential diesel leak. The side panels lay on each side of the railway to provide extra protection.
Any spill from the locomotive falls onto the track matting where it passes through the top mesh layer and into the hydrophobic cotton/polypropylene material. The diesel is absorbed and remains contained by the track matting.
The chemically resistant base ensures no diesel passes into the groundwater below.
